Answer 21

Supraspinatus

Infraspinatus

Teres minor

Subscapularis

Question 22

Radial nerve

Question 30

Locations of suprascapular artery and nerve in rotator cuff

Answer 30

Suprascapular artery is superior (over) the transverse scapular ligament

Suprascapular nerve goes under the transverse scapular ligament

Question 31

Route of suprascapular artery and nerve

Answer 31

Artery crosses superior to transverse scapular ligament. Nerve goes under it. They first supply the supraspinatus muscle

Artery and nerve cross lateral to the spine of the scapula

They then supply the infraspinatus

The artery goes on to supply the teres minor and anastamoses inferior to the scapula

Question 32

Supraspinatus is involved as a syngerist to the ___ in ___ at shoulder

Answer 34

Supraspinatus and deltoid maintain contraction

Upper trapezius and lower serratus anterior rotate shoulder point upward

Question 35

Final phase of abducting arm (120-180 degrees)

Answer 35

Spinal cord curves to the opposite side to allow the arm to be raised completely overhead

Question 36

Damage to supraspinatus tendon
