2) teres minor
3) teres major
4) subscapularis

36
Q

What branches off of the subclavian artery to become the suprascapular artery?

A

Thyrocervical trunk

37
Q

What are the two branches that come off the subclavian artery and bring blood supply to the posterior side of the scapula?

A

1) dorsal scapular artery
2) Suprascapular artery

38
Q

What structure does the suprascapular artery travel over to enter the scapular notch?

A

superior transverse scapular ligament

39
Q

Which arteries create anastomoses on the posterior side of the scapula?

A

1) dorsal scapular artery
2) suprascapular artery
3) subscapular artery
4) circumflex scapular artery

40
Q

Where does the dorsal scapular artery travel in the scapular region?

A

along the medial border of the scapula

41
Q

What artery does the subscapular artery branch off of?

A

Axillary artery

42
Q

Where does the subscapular artery create an anastomosis with the dorsal scapular artery?

A

at the inferior angle of the scapula

43
Q

What artery does the circumflex scapular artery branch off of?

A

subscapular artery

44
Q

What ligaments are torn/injured in a shoulder separation injury?

A

1) Acromiooclavicular ligament
2) Coracoclavicular ligaments

45
Q

What are the two ligaments that make up the coracoclavicular ligaments?

A

1) trapezoid ligament
2) conoid ligament

46
Q

What structure may injure/disrupt the glenohumeral joint space in the event of a shoulder separation injury? Why?

A

acromion process, the ligaments and muscles that are still attached to the humerus from the scapula can pull the acromion inferiorly into the GH joint space

47
Q

Why is the GH joint the most commonly dislocated joint in the body?

A

it’s the most mobile/unstable joint in the body

48
Q

Why is an anterior dislocation the most common type of dislocation of the GH joint?

A

There are not any structures stabilizing the inferior aspect of the joint (like the rotator cuff stabilizing the anterior and posterior aspects). Therefore the humerus may be pulled inferiorly with the correct force.

49
Q

In what position is the arm most vulnerable to a GH joint dislocation?

A

Abducted
