Q

Which joint helps provide static stability to the upper limb reducing the need to use muscle energy to keep the upper limb in its proper alignment.

  1. Sternoclavicular
  2. Acromioclavicular
  3. Glenohumeral
A

Acromioclavicular. In this joint, the clavicle can act as a strut maintaining the upper limb away from the thorax permitting a greater range of upper limb motion.

Q

Which is the most movable joint in the body?

  1. Sternoclavicular
  2. Acromioclavicular
  3. Glenohumeral
A

Glenohumeral

17
Q

Which joint is not considered a true joint but is a term used to help describe how the scapula moves on the thoracic wall?

A

Scapulothoracic joint. It can either stabilize the scapula or to actively move the scapula.

18
Q

________ movement occurs when muscles act directly on the arm resulting in movement of the shoulder joint.

  1. Active
  2. Passive
A

Passive. Since the scapula is attached to the arm by muscles and ligaments, the arms move the scapula passively.

19
Q

Protraction involves moving the medial border of the scapula______ from the midline

  1. Towards
  2. Away
A

Away

20
Q

Scapulohumeral rhythm: what is the ration between humeral abduction and upward rotation of the scapule

  1. 1:1
  2. 1:2
  3. 2:1
A

2:1. Complete abduction of the humerus includes the muscles of the supraspinatus, deltoid, trapezius, serratus anterior.

21
Q

________muscles attach the upper extremity to the axial skeleton

  1. Intrinsic
  2. Extrinsic
A

Extrinsic. Includes levator scapula, trapezius, rhomboid major and minor, serratus anterior, pec. minor & major, and latissimus dorsi.

22
Q

_______ means that two or more muscles are acting to bring about a desired movement.

  1. Agonists
  2. Passive Movement
  3. Muscle synergy
  4. Active Movement
A

Muscle synergy.

23
Q

When the trapezius and rhomboids work together, what movement of the scapula gets cancelled out?

  1. retraction
  2. elevation
  3. rotation
A

Rotation. The trapezius upwardly rotates when retracting while the rhomboids downwardly rotate when retracting and elevating the scapula.

24
Q

When the serratus anterior and pectoralis minor work together, what movement of the scapula gets cancelled out?

  1. retraction
  2. elevation
  3. rotation
A

Rotation. The serratus anterior (upward rotation) and pectoralis minor (downward rotation) produce pure protraction.

25
Q

When the trapezius and serratus anterior work together, what movement of the scapula gets cancelled out?

  1. Protraction
  2. elevation
  3. rotation
A

Protraction. The trapezius (retraction) and serratus anterior (protraction) are strong upward rotators of the scapula.

26
Q

Initiation of humeral abduction is a function of which muscle?

  1. Biceps brachii
  2. Supraspinatus
  3. Infraspinatus
  4. Subscapularis
A

Supraspinatus

27
Q

Which muscle is responsible for bringing the arm to shoulder level?

  1. Supraspinatus
  2. Infraspinatus
  3. Deltoid
  4. Biceps Brachii
A

Deltoid

28
Q

Which muscle is not required for scapulohumeral rhythm?

  1. Biceps Brachii
  2. Deltoid
  3. Trapezius
  4. Serratus Anterior
A

Biceps Brachii. The deltoid is responsible for abducting the humerus, the trapezius and serratus anterior allow for upward rotation of the scapula. Otherwise, the acromion would be arrested.

29
Q

The axillary artery is a continuation of what artery?

A

Subclavian artery at the lateral border of the first rib. It becomes the brachial artery at the inferior border of the teres minor.

30
Q

Which portion of the axillary artery supplies blood to the shoulder girdle and its attached muscles?

  1. Superior thoracic
  2. Lateral thoracic
  3. Thoracoacromial trunk
  4. Posterior humeral circumflex
A

Thoracoacromial trunk

31
Q

Which muscle is bigger?

  1. Anterior humeral circumflex artery
  2. Posterior humeral circumflex artery
A

Posterior humeral circumflex artery

32
Q

The suprascapular artery joins which artery after passing through the suprascapular notch to the infraspinous fossa.

  1. Superior thoracic
  2. Lateral thoracic
  3. Subscapular
  4. Axillary
A

Subscapular. Before reaching the suprascapular notch, the suprascapular artery will pass over the transverse scapular ligament to the supraspinous fossa.

33
Q

The superficial axillary vein is formed by the junction of what 2 veins?

A

The brachial and basilic veins. The cephalic vein joins near the termination of the axillary vein by the first rib.

34
Q

Which of the following muscles do not form the border of the triangle of Auscultation used for listening to the thorax.

  1. Latissimus Dorsi
  2. Upper Trapezius
  3. Lower Trapezius
  4. Rhomboid Major
  5. Scapula
A

Upper Trapezius. The floor of the triangle includes the 6 & 7th ribs and the intercostal space.

35
Q

The lateral epicondyle is associated with ____(a)____ and the medial epicondyle is associated with __(b)____

(a) trochlea
(a) capitulum
(b) trochlea
(b) capitulum

A

The lateral epicondyle is associated with the capitulum and the medial epicondyle is associated with trochlea. The capitulum articulates with the head of the radius and the trochlea articulates with the olecranon fossa of the ulna

36
Q

Which one of the following structures is not apart of the boundary for the posterior axilla:

  1. Teres major
  2. Latissimus Dorsi
  3. Scapula
  4. Subscapularis
