Shoulder, Arm, & Deep Back Muscles Flashcards
Deltoid - middle fibers from acromion:
Arm abduction
Deltoid - anterior fibers from clavicle:
Flexion
Deltoid - Posterior fibers from scapular spine:
Arm extension
Muscles of musculotendinous (rotator) cuff:
Subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor - cross the glenohumeral joint and provide support against upward and posterior displacement of the head of the humerus (important in injury because the tendons intersect and blend with neighbors)
Blood supply to the shoulder comes from:
Subclavian a. and Axillary a.
Blood supply from subclavian a:
- Suprascapular (could be a branch of the thyrocervical trunk or directly from subclavian)
- Dorsal scapular a. (aka deep branch of transverse cervical a.
Blood supply from the Axillary a:
- Circumflex scapular a (from subscapular a)
2. Posterior and anterior circumflex humeral aa
Borders of triangular space:
- Teres minor (superior)
- Teres major (inferior)
- Long head of triceps (lateral)
Borders of Quadrangular Space:
- Teres minor (superior)
- Teres major (inferior)
- Surgical neck of humerus (lateral)
- Long head triceps (medial)
Borders of Triangular Interval:
- Teres major (superior)
- Shaft of humerus (lateral)
- Long head triceps (medial)
Anterior compartment:
Contains flexors of the arm and forearm which are innervated by the musculocutaneous n.
Posterior compartment:
Contains extensors of the forearm which are innervated by the radial n.
Coracobrachialis:
O: Coracoid process
I: Medial mid-shaft of the humerus
N: Musculocutaneous n.
A: arm flexor
Biceps brachii:
O: Long head - supraglenoid tubercle of scapula, Short head - coracoid process
I: Radial tuberosity of radius
N: Musculocutaneous n.
A: Flexor of forearm, supinator of forearm, minor flexor of arm
Brachialis:
O: Anterior aspect of distal humerus and intermuscular septum
I: Tuberosity of the ulna
N: Musculocutaneous n.
A: flexor of forearm
Triceps brachii:
O: Long head - infraglenoid tubercle, Medial head - humeral shaft inferior to radial groove, Lateral head - humeral shaft superior to radial groove
I: Olecranon
N: Radial n.
A: Forearm extension, long head can also extend and adduct arm
