Shoulder Flashcards
parts of the humerus
- head, shaft, dista; end
- anatomical neck
- greater and lesser tubercle
- intertubercular groove
- deltoid tuberosity
- condyle/epicondyle (med. and lat.)
- supracondylar ridge (med. and lat.)
- olecranon fossa (post surface of humerus- where olecranon sits on elbow)
parts of the scapula
- supraspinous fossa
- infraspinous fossa
- subscapular fossa
- medial and lateral border
- acromion
- coracoid process
- glenoid cavity
- scapular spine
fossa
a shallow depression in a surface
scapulothoracic movements
- protraction/retraction
- upward rotation
- downward rotation
glenohumeral joint (GHJ)
shoulder
type: ball and socket
movement: flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, medial/lateral rotation
acromioclavicular joint
type: plane
movement: sliding/gliding
sternoclavicular joint
type: saddle
movement: elevation/depression
muscles in the rotator cuff
- supraspinatus
- infraspinatus
- teres minor
- scapularis
supraspinatus
origin:
- supraspinous fossa of scapula
insertion:
- greater tubercle of humerus
innervation: brachial plexus
function: abduction of humerus at GHJ
infraspinatus
origin:
- infraspinous fossa of scapula
insertion:
-greater tubercle of humerus
innervation: brachial plexus
function: lateral rotation of humerus at GHJ
teres minor
origin:
- lateral border of scapula
insertion:
- greater tubercle of humerus
innervation: brachial plexus
function: lateral rotation of arm at GHJ
scapularis
origin:
- subscapular fossa
insertion:
- lesser tubercle of humerus
innervation: brachial plexus
function: medial rotation of arm at GHJ
pectoralis major
origin:
- medial clavicle
- sternum and costal cartilage of ribs I-VII
insertion:
- intertubercular groove
innervation: brachial plexus
function: adduction, med. rotation, flexion of humerus at GHJ
deltoid
origin:
- spine of scapula
- lateral clavicle
- acromion
insertion:
- deltoid tuberosity
innervation: brachial plexus
function: shoulder abduction, flexion/extension at GHJ
latissimus dorsi
origin:
- sacrum
- iliac crest
- spinous process of lumbar vertebrae
- thoracolumbar fascia
insertion:
- intertubercular groove
innervation: brachial plexus
function: extension, adduction, and medial rotation of humerus at GHJ
