Shoulder and Brachium Flashcards
week 7
Function of the clavicle
Holds upper limb away from the trunk via the use of forces:
Clavicle transmitting forces: transmits forces from upper limb to trunk
What are the bones of the pectoral glide?
Clavicle and scapula
Bony Landmarks and features of the clavicle
Flat lateral end and rounded medial end
Lateral end: attachment of coracoclavicular ligament (conoid tubercle)
Medial end: attachment of costoclavicular ligament - attach to rib syn
Sternoclavicular atriculation
with manubrium of sternum medially = synovial saddle
Acromioclavicular joint articulation
= with acromion of scapula laterally = synovial plane
What ligaments stablise the acromicoclavicular joint?
acromioclavicular and coraoclavicular ligament
What muscles attach to the clavicle?
Pectorals major, deltoid, trapezius (lateral 1/3) , and SCM (1/3)
function of scapula
Muscle attachment and mobility
Articulation of scapula
Articulation
Acromion articulates with clavicle at the acromioclavicular joint
Glenoid fossa articulates with humeral head at glenohumeral joint
What are the three joints of the pectoral glide?
1- Gleno-humeral
2- Acromioclacicular joint 3- sternoclavicular joint
Articulation of the humerus. ( two joints)
Glenohumeral joint:
-head with glenoid fossa
Elbow joint:
-Capitulum with radius (humeroradial)
-Trochlea with Ulna (humeroulnar)
What is the structural and functional joint type of the Glenohumeral joint?
S= synovial ball and socket
F= multiaxial (diarthrosis)
What are the three ligaments of the glenohumeral joint?
Coracoacromial
Glenohumeral
Coracohumeral
Origin, insertion and function of Coracoacromial ligament
O= Coracoid process
I= acromion
Functions
- Overlies head of humerus = prevents superior displacement
-Creates coracoacromial arch
Origin, insertion and function of Glenohumeral ligament
O= Glenoid Labrum
I- Blends with the joint capsule and attaches to the anatomical neck
F= Reinforces anterior part of joint capsule
Origin and insertion of coracohumeral ligament
o= coracoid process
I= greater tubercle
What are the main stabilities of the Glenohumeral joint?
1- rotator cuff
2- tendon of long head of biceps brachii
What are the 4 rotator cuff muscles?
Supraspinatus
Infraspinatus
Teres minor
Subscapularis
Attachment, innervation and movement of supraspinatus
Supraspinous fossa –> greater tubercle
Suprascapular nerve
Shoulder abduction
Attachment, innervation and movement of infraspinatus.
Infraspinous fossa –> greater tubercle
Suprascapular nerve
Lateral rotation of shoulder
