S, P, R Flashcards
Why does the synovial membrane extend inferiorly near the long head of the biceps brachii?
lots of movement, needs to be protected/lubricated, maintains maximum range of motion
What does the long head of biceps brachii tendon run on?
bicipital groove
What are the muscles of the rotator cuff?
Supraspinatus m.
infraspinatus m.
teres minor m.
subscapularis m.
What is the action of the deltoid m.?
abducts humerus, flexes, extends and rotates humerus
What is the neurovasculature of deltoid m.?
axillary n.
posterior circumflex humeral vessels
What is the action of teres major m.?
medially rotates and extends humerus
What is the nuerovasculature of teres major m.?
lower (inferior) subscapular n.
subscapular vessels
What is the action of the supraspinatus m.?
abducts humerus (1st 15 degrees–initiates abduction), reaches maximum contribution at 110 degrees
What is the neurovasculature of supraspinatus m.?
suprascapular n.
suprascapular vessels
dorsal scapular vessels
What is the action of the infraspinatus m.?
laterally rotates humerus
What is the neurovasculature of infraspinatus m.?
suprascapular n.
subscapular vessels
What is the action of the teres minor m.?
lateral rotation of humerus
What is the nuerovasculature of teres minor m.?
axillary n.
suprascapular vessels
subscapular vessels
What is the action of the subscapularis m.?
medial rotation of humerus
What is the neurovasculatre of subscapularis m.?
upper and lower sub scapular n.
subscapular vessels
Should the subacromial bursa be continous with the glenohumeral joint capsule?
No
What are the borders of the quadrangular space?
superior = teres minor m. inferior = teres major m. medial = long head of triceps brachia m. lateral = surgical head of humerus
What is contained within the quadrangular space?
axillary n.
posterior circumflex humeral vessels
What are the borders of the triangular space?
superior = teres minor m. inferior = teres major m. lateral = long head of triceps brachii m.
What does the triangular space contain?
circumflex scapular vessels
What are the borders of the triangular interval?
superior = teres major m. medial = long head of triceps brachii m. lateral = lateral head of triceps brachii m.
