Shoulder Flashcards
Which bones make up the pectoral girdle (shoulder)?
Scapula, clavicle, manubrium
The manubrium is a __ bone
Axial
The scapula and clavicle are __ bones
Appendicular
What joint connects the upper appendicular skeleton to the axial skeleton?
Sternoclavicular joint (SC joint)
Describe the clavicle
Suspends scapula/upper limb from axial skeleton. It has no medullary cavity, it is a long bone made up of both spongy and compact bone. It has an enlarged SC joint and a flat AC joint
Describe the scapula
The posterior side is convex and the anterior side is concave. It has three borders: medial, lateral and superior, and three angles: superior, inferior and lateral
Describe the humerus
It has two necks: anatomical and surgical, it is known for its humeral head
Sternum + clavicle
Sternoclavicular joint
Clavicle + acromion
Acromioclavicular joint
Glenoid + humerus
Glenohumeral joint
What type of joint is the SCJ?
Saddle joint
What type of joint is the ACJ?
Plant type joint
What type of joint is the GHJ?
Ball and socket joint
What muscles are responsible for flexion in the GHJ?
Pectoralis major and deltoid= main, assisted by the coracobrachialis
What muscles are responsible for extension in the GHJ?
Deltoid= main, assisted by the teres major, latissimus dorsi, and long head of the triceps brachii
What muscles are responsible for abduction in the GHJ?
Deltoid= main, assisted by the supraspinatus
What muscles are responsible for adduction in the GHJ?
Pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi= main, assisted by the teres major and long head of the triceps brachii
What muscles are responsible for external rotation in the GHJ?
Infraspinatus= main, assisted by the teres minor and deltoid
What muscles are responsible for internal rotation in the GHJ?
Subscapularis= main, assisted by the pectoralis major, deltoid, latissimus dorsi, and teres major
What muscles are in the anterior axio-appendicular group?
Pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, subclavious, and serratus anterior
What muscles are in the posterior axio-appendicular group?
Superficial: trapezius, latissimus dorsi
Deep: levator scapula, rhomboids
Scapulohumeral: deltoid, teres major, rotator cuff
What muscles are in the rotator cuff group?
Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, teres minor
What muscles are in the anterior compartment of the arm?
Musculocutaneous nerve, flexors of elbows, biceps brachii, brachialis, coracobrachialis
What muscles are in the posterior compartment of the arm?
Radial nerve, extensors of elbow, triceps, aconeus
What muscles perform scapula elevation?
Upper fibers of trapezius
What muscles perform depression of scapula?
Lower fibers of trapezius
What muscles perform retraction of scapula?
Middle fibers of trapezius
What muscles perform upward rotation of scapula?
Upper and lower fibers of trapezius (with serratus anterior)
Map the arteries from the aorta to the elbow
Aorta > axillary artery > superior thoracic artery > thoracoacromial artery > subscapular artery > thoracodorsal artery > brachial artery
What two veins make up the axillary vein?
Basilic and brachial
What are the two superficial veins in the arm?
Lateral arm: cephalic vein
Medial arm: basilic vein
Map the deep veins from the elbow to the superior vena cava
Brachial vein > axillary vein > subclavian vein > brachiocephalic vein > superior vena cava
How many groups of axillary lymph nodes are there? What are their names?
5, pectoral (anterior), subscapular (posterior), humeral (lateral), central (base), apical (apex)
Where is the pectoral lymph node located?
Medial wall of axilla, inferior border of pec minor
Where is the subscapular lymph node located?
Posterior axillary fold
Where is the humeral lymph node located?
Lateral wall of axilla
