ADduction of the humerus

44
Q

inserts

A

meidal lip or crest of inter tubercular groove of humerus

46
Q

Teres Major

innervation

A

lower subscapular nerve

C5-C7

47
Q

Teres Major

function

A

extension
ADductions
Medial rotation of humerus

48
Q

humeral ADduction mechanics

A

large deltoid force plus
smaller supraspinous force equals
translation of the humeral head superiorly

49
Q

prevention of humeral head from being driven to the coracoacromial arch and creating impingement

A

1.Subscap
2. infraspinatus
3. teres minor
exert downward translational force on humeral head
together maintain normal positioning for humeral head during ABduction and prevent impingement

50
Q

Trapezius muscle is innervated by:

A

cranial nerve 11 (spinal portion of accessory nerve)
brachial motor to the muscle

Ventral rami C3-C4 convey sensory info from muscle to CNS

51
Q

thoracodorsal nerve formed:
derives from:
innervates:

A

by ventral rami C6-C8
posterior cord of the brachial plexus
Latissimus Dorsi

52
Q

Axillary nerve is:

A 
C5-C6
terminal branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus
runs posteriorly through axilla
inferior to humeral head
exits the quadrangular space
53

runs posteriorly and inferior to the transverse scapular ligament
56
Q

suprascapular artery over transverse ligament and suprascapular nerve goes under transverse ligament
(branch of subclavian artery)

60
Q

Suprascapular artery travels:

A

with suprascapular nerve under the transverse scapular ligament to supply muslces:
supraspinatus and infraspinatus

61
Q

posterior humeral circumflex artery

supplies and travels:

A

(branch of axillary artery)

supplies: teres minor & deltoid
travels: with axillary nerve to exit quadrangular space

62
Q

Subscapular artery supplies:

A

(LARGEST branch of axillary artery)
latissimus dorsi
teres major

63
Q

Collateral Circulation of dorsal scapular region:

A

see the next three cards

64
Q

Supraspinous fossa supplied by:

A

suprascapular artery

65
Q

Infraspinous fossa supplied by:

A
  1. dorsal scapular artery (transverse cervical)
  2. suprascapular artery
  3. circumflex scapular artery
66
Q

Significance of Collateral Circulation of dorsal scapular region:

A

supraspinatus tendon frequently impinged in coracoacromial arch
tendons have poor blood supply
may be a factor affecting the capacity of muscle to repair following trauma or surgery

67
Q

extrinsic muscles

A

originate somewhere else and insert in the area

68
Q

intrinsic muscles

A

originate in the area and insert in the area

69
Q
