The action of the deltoid
- abduct humerus
2. flexes, extends and rotates humerus
Innervation of deltoid
axillary n. and posterior circumflex humeral vessels
Action of Teres major
medially rotate and extend humerus
Innervation of Teres major
lower sub scapular n. and sub scapular vessels
Action of supraspinatus
Abduct humerus (1st 15degrees)
Innervation of supraspinatus
Suprascapular n. and vessels and dorsal scapular vessels
Action of infraspinatus
laterally rotates humerus
Innervation of infraspinatus
suprascapular n. and vessels and subscapular vessels
Action of Teres minor
lateral rotation of humerus
Innervation of Teres minor
axillary n. and suprascapular and subscapular vessels
Action of Subscapularis
medial rotation of humerus
Innervation of Subscapularis
upper and lower subscapular nn. and subscapular vessels
The 4 muscles that make up the rotator cuff are…. and the …. muscle provides outer muscular support
- Supraspinatus
- Infraspinatus
- Teres minor
- Subscapularis
- –Deltoid
The Quadrangular space’s superior, inferior, medial and lateral borders
Superior: Teres minor
Inferior: Teres major
Medial: Long head of triceps
Lateral: Surgical neck of humerus
What nerve and vessels go through the quadrangular space?
- Axillary n.
- Posterior circumflex humeral vessels
Superior, inferior and lateral borders of the triangular space?
Superior: Teres Minor
Inferior: Teres Major
Lateral: Long head of triceps brachii
The triangular space contains what artery?
Circumflex scapular artery
The superior, medial and lateral
Superior: Teres major
Medial: Long head of triceps brachial
Lateral: Lateral head of the triceps brachii
The triangular interval contains what nerve and artery
Radial nerve
Deep/profunda brachial artery
The…. Bursa is a membranous sac containing synovial fluid and is inferior to acromion and deltoid but superior to supraspinatus
Subacromial (subdeltoid)
T/F: the subacromial (subdeltoid) bursa communicates with the joint capsule
False, does not
Supra scapular nerve is from ventral rami…. and runs…. the supra scapular transverse ligament
- C5,6
- under
Supra scapular artery runs… supra scapular transverse scapular ligament
over
Supra scapular a. and n. supply
infra and supraspinatus
Dorsal scapular n. is from ventral rami…
-C5
Dorsal scapular n. and deep transverse cervical a. both run parallel to the vertebral border of scapular and supply…
- levator scapulae
- rhomboid mm.
