SA Of Muscles Flashcards
Small triangular area of back well suited for listening of lung sounds
Boundaries: trapezius medially, latissumis dorsi inferiorly, medial border of scapula laterally
Triangle of Ascultation
Anterior surface of elbow region
Boundaries: superior base of triangle formed by humeral epicondyles, 2 inferiors sides of triangle are brachioradialis laterally and Pronator Teres medially
Median cubital vein superficially courses through, brachial artery and median nerve pass through more deeply
Cubital fossa
Superior region of anterior thigh
Adductor longus, sartorius, inguinal ligament
Femoral artery, femoral vein, femoral nerve pass through here
Femoral triangle
Lateral surface of neck of fibula inferior to the head
Common fibular nerve
Lateral side of knee
Attached to lateral tibial condyle
Iliotibial tract
Muscle strains in medial compartment of the thigh
Often due to change in direction
Adductor strain (specifically adductor longus is strained)
Audible snap during a forceful push off (plantarflexion)
They cannot plantarflex
Rupture of Achilles tendon
Sudden severe tension on extensor tendon of digits
Distal interphalangeal joint forced into hyperflexion
Tear away attachment of tendon to base of distal phalanx
Cannot extend distal interphalangeal joint
Baseball (Mallet) finger
Posterior surface of medial epicondyle
Ulnar nerve
Ridge formed by Pectoralis major
Anterior axillary fold
Ridge formed by latissimus dorsi and Teres major as they course toward humerus
Posterior axillary fold
Most superior process visible and easily palpable down from head
Spinous process of C7
Vertebra prominens
Lateral most projection of spine of scapula
Acromion of scapula
spine of scapula meets with medial border of scapula
T3
Inferior angle of scapula
T7
