Scapular Region (Exam 1) Flashcards
List the joints of the shoulder girdle
Sternoclavicular–the only “true” joint between shoulder and upper limb
We reduce what for range of motion
sacrifice stability
How is the axilla related to the bones in the shoulder girdle?
area between scapula and ribs
What ligament is damaged if there is acromioclavicular joint separation
acromioclavicular ligament
What ligaments are damaged for complete separation
acromiocalvicular and coracoclavicular ligaments
What is the function of the coracoclavicular ligament
anchors clavicle to the scapula
What are the three features of a synovial joint
articular cartilage
synovial membrane
fibrous capsule
What part of the scapula will the head of the humerus articulate with
glenoid fossa
What muscle will have a tendon that runs through the shoulder
long head of biceps brachii
What are the mechanisms to increase stability in the shoulder
thickening of joint capsule
long head of the biceps tendon
superior middle and inferior glenohumeral ligament
What lines the cavity of the glenohumeral joint
synovial sheath
What type of joint is the glenohumeral joint
synovial ball and socket
What types of movements does the glenohumeral joint allow
wide range of motion
What muscles compose the rotator cuff
supraspinalis
infraspinalis
teres minor
subscapularis
What is the function of rotator cuff muscles
maintain joint stability by maintaining head of humerus on the glenoid
How does the trapezius affect the shoulder
important in rotation of scapula
What is the action of latissimus dorse
adduct arm, extension, medial rotation
What is the action, innervation, attachments, and blood supply to the deltoid muscles
Attachments: Lateral 1/3 acromion scapular spine, inferior to the deltoid tuberosity
Action: Abduct flex extend medial lateral rotate at glenoid humerus shoulder joint
Innervation: Axillary nerve C5-C6
Blood supply: acromial and deltoid branch of thoracoacromial artery
