Scapular & Pectoral Regions Flashcards
What are the two joints associated with the UL that are considered bony articulations (not muscle attachments)?
Sternoclavicular & acrmoioclavicular
What are the two components that comprise the coracoclavicular ligament?
Trapezoid (more lateral) and coroid (more medial) ligaments
What are the rotator cuff muscles?
SITS = supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis
Deltoid origin
Lateral clavicle, acromion, and spine of scapula
Deltoid insertion
Deltoid tuberosity of humerus
Deltoid action
Abducts humerus (primary function), flexes, extends, and rotates humerus (secondary function)
Deltoid supply
Axillary n & posterior circumflex humeral vessels (located in quadrangular space)
Teres Major origin
Inferior angle of scapula
Teres Major insertion
Crest of lesser tubercle of humerus
Teres Major action
Medially rotates & extends humerus
Teres Major supply
Lower (inferior) sub scapular n & subscapular vessels
Supraspinatus origin
Supraspinous fossa
Supraspinatus insertion
Greater tubercle of humerus
Supraspinatus action
Initial 15 degrees of humerus abduction (then deltoid takes over)
Supraspinatus supply
Suprascapular n & vessels & dorsal scapular vessels
Infraspinatus origin
Infraspinous fossa
Infraspinatus insertion
Greater tubercle of humerus
Infraspinatus action
Laterally rotates humerus
Infraspinatus supply
Suprascapular n & vessels & subscapular vessels
Teres Minor origin
Lateral border of scapula
Teres Minor insertion
Greater tubercle of humerus
Teres Minor action
Lateral rotation of humerus
Teres Minor supply
Axillary n & suprascapular & subscapular vessels
Subscapularis origin
Subscapular fossa
Subscapularis insertion
Lesser tubercle of humerus (more medially located than greater tubercle)
Subscapularis action & supply
Medial rotation of humerus
Upper & lower subscapular nn and subscapular vessels
What are the boundaries of the quadrangular space?
Superior: Teres Minor
Inferior: Teres Major
Medial: Long head of Triceps Brachii
Lateral: Surgical neck of humerus
What is contained within the quadrangular space?
Axillary n & posterior circumflex humeral vessels
What are the boundaries of the triangular space?
Superior: Teres Minor
Inferior: Teres Major
Lateral: Long head of Triceps Brachii
What is contained within the triangular space?
Circumflex scapular vessels
What are the boundaries of the triangular interval?
Superior: Teres Major
Medial: Long head of Triceps Brachii
Lateral: Lateral head of Triceps Brachii
What is contained within the triangular interval?
Radial n & Deep Brachial a
