Q

The glenoid fossa is shaped like a what?

This causes a phiosological trade-off, what is the trade-of?

A

Glenoid fossa is shaped like a golf tee.

The glenohumeral joint sacrifices stability for flexibility and mobility.

Q

Name the 3 transitional areas of the upper limb.

What is their function?

A
  1. Axilla

Q

WHat are the 4 rotator cuff muscles?

What two bones do they connect?

What is their function?

A

Supraspinatus

Infraspinatus

Subscapularis

Teres minor

Connects the Scapula to the Humerus.

Rotator cuff provides stability. Also has strong ligamentous attachments at the joint.

Q

What is the possible pathology if the clavicle is broken?

What is the possible pathology of crutches under the arm?

A

If there is a fracture of the clavicle, structures that pass under the clavicle in the axilla space could be damaged.

Crutches under the armpit can crush structures that run through the axilla, such as the brachial plexus.

17
Q

What are the 3 nerves related to the bones of the arm?

A

Axillary n

Radial n

Ulnar n

18
Q

Where does the Axillary n. travel?

What does the Musculocutaneal n innervate?

…Median and path

…Radial and path

…Ulnar and path

A

Axillary comes through near the surgical neck.

Musculo…All muscles in anterior compartment of arm

Median..back of brachial through carpal tunnel, most flexors in forearm, thenar muscles in hand.

Radial…posterior humerus, through radial groove, posterior forearm. All muscles in posterior compartment of arm and forearm.

Ulnar…Posterior arm, through elbow groove (funny bone), Intrinsic muscles in hand, Flexor carpi ulnaris and medial half of flexor digitorum profundus in forearm.

19
Q

What are the superficial veins of the arm?

Where are they embedded?

Where do they dump their deoxy blood?

A

Cephalic v

Basilic v

Median cubital v.

Embedded in the fascia.

Dump into the subclavian v at the neck.

20
Q

What ligaments cover the sternoclavicular joint?

A

Anterior and Posterior sternoclavicular ligament.

Costoclavicular ligament.

and an Articular Disc between the clavicle and manubrium.

21
Q

What ligaments reside at the acromioclavicular joint in order to anchor the scapula to the clavicle?

A

Acromioclavicular lig.

Coracoclavicular lig.—–Which includes the Trapezoid lig. and Conoid lig.

Helps with weight bearing and support.

Conoid lig. attaches to conoid tubercle.

22
Q

Describe th ligamenture of the Glenohumeral joint.

A

Composed of the glenohumeral ligament and coracohumeral ligament. Covered by a fibrous membrane of a joint capsule.

Laterally is the Subtendinous bursa of subscapularis.

Inferiorly is the Redundant synovial membrane in adduction to allow sliding.

Over the Long head of biceps brachii tendon is the synovial membrane and synovial sheath to allow sliding.

23
Q

How is the glenohumeral ligament divided up?

A

Superior

Middle

Inferior

…glenohumeral ligaments.

24
Q

What is the thin layer of cartilage that surrounds the glenoid fossa?

A

Glenoid Labrum
