Scapula, pectoral, and breast Flashcards
Superficial veins of upper limb
Cephalic vein
Basilic vein
Medial cubital vein
Bone of the upper limb
Clavicle
Scapula
Humerus
Scapulohumeral muscles
Deltoid muscles
Supraspinatus muscle
Infraspinatus muscle
Teres minor muscle
Teres major muscle
Subscapularis muscle
Deltoid muscle
O: Lateral 1/3 clavicle, acromion, spine of scapula
I: Deltoid tuberosity of humerus
Inn: Axillary Nerve
Actions: Clavicular- flex and medially rotate; Acromial- ABducts arm beyond initial 15 degrees; Spinal- extends and laterally rotates arm
Teres Major Muscle
Lats little helper
O: posterior surface of inferior angle of scapula
I: Medial lip of bicipital groove of humerus
Inn: lower subscapular nerve
Actions: ADducts and medially rotates the arm
Rotator Cuff muscles
SITS
Supraspinatus
Infraspinatus
Teres mino
Subscapularis
Supraspinatus muscle
O: Supraspinous fossa of scapula
I: Superior face of greater tubercule of humerus
Inn: Suprascapular nerve
Actions: Assists deltoid with ABduction of the arm - the initial 15 degrees
Infraspinatus muscle
O: infraspinous fossa of scapula
I: middle facet of greater tubercle of humerus
Inn: Suprascapular nerve
Actions: Laterally rotates the arm
Teres minor muscle
O: middle part of lateral border of scapula
I: Inferior facet of greater tubercle of humerus
Inn: Axillary nerve
Actions: laterally rotates the arm
Subscapularis muscle
O: Subscapular fossa of scapula
I: Lesser tubercle of humerus
Inn: upper and lower subscapular nn.
Actions: Medially rotates the arm
Rotator cuff muscle ligaments
Coracoacromial ligament
Supraspinatus tendon
Subscapularis tendon
Teres minor tendon
Infraspinatus tendon
Rotator cuff bursa
Subcutanous acromial bursa
Subacromial bursa/subdeltoid bursa
Subcoracoid bursa
Subtendinous bursa of subscapularis muscle
Subtenindous bursa of infraspinatus muscle
Rotator cuff injuries
Repeated abduction and flexion (throwing motion) causes wear on the tendons as they rub on the acromion and coracoacromial ligament
The tendon of the supraspinatus is most vulnerable to injury
Anterior Axio-Appendicular muscles
Pectoralis major muscle
Pectoralis minor muscle
Serratus anterior muscle
Subclavius muscle
Pectoralis Major muscle
O: Clavicle, sternum, costal cartilages
I: Lateral Lip of bicipital groove of humerus
Inn: Lateral and medial pectoral nn.
Actions: ADducts and medially rotates humerus, draws scapula anteriorly and inferiorly
Acting along: clavicular head flexes while sternocostal head extends the humerus from a flexed position
Pectoralis minor muscle
O: 3rd to 5th ribs near costal cartilages
I: Coracoid process of scapula
Inn: Medial pectoral nerve
Actions: Stabilizes scapula by drawing it inferiorly and anteriorly against the thoracic wall
In a recovery position: can help in respirations
Subclavius muscle
O: junction of 1st rib and costal cartilage
I: inferior surface of clavicleI
Inn: Nerve to subclavius
Actions: Depresses and anchors clavicle
Significance: can protect vasculature when the clavicle breaks
Serratus anterior muscle
O: lateral part of ribs 1-8
I: medial border of scapula
Inn: long thoracic nerve
Actions: protracts, rotates & hols scapula against thoracic wall
“Boxing muscle”
Serratus anterior paralysis
Paralysis of serratus anterior muscle resulting from injury to long thoracic nerve.
Scapula moved laterally and posteriorly away from the thoracic wall
Gives the scapula and “Winged” appearance
Gateways to posterior scapular region
Quadrangular space
Triangular space
Triangular interval
Suprascapular notch
The superior transverse scapular ligament divides the suprascapular artery and nerve. The artery goes above the ligament and the nerve goes below the ligament.
Spinoglenoid notch
suprascapular artery and nerve also pass through this notch
Quadrangular space
Superior: Teres minor muscle
Inferior: Teres major muscle
Medial: tricept brachii long head muscle
Lateral: shaft of the humerus
Contents: axillary nerve and posterior circumflex humeral artery
Triangular space
Superior: Teres Minor muscle
Inferior: Teres major muscle
Lateral: triceps brachii long head muscle
Contects: circumflex scapular artery
