Q

The hyaline cartilage covering the head of the humerus is very small as the articulation for it is very small. This very small articulation allows for what? Are there consequences to this type of retention in humans?

The space between the acromium and the head of the humerus is small as it is tightly packed with muscle and hyaline cartilage.

A

allows for a very mobile arm that can rotate 180 degrees

of all primates we’ve retained this small articulation; we don’t need it to survive and we pay the price for it as most injuries in sports are due to “too high” mobility

This does not happen in the femur however.

origin: head and vertebrae (part that moves less)
insertion: scapula (part that moves during muscle contraction

the upper goes to the clavicle
the middle and lower goes to the spine of the scapula???????

35
Q

Why do humans have a huge nuchal ligament?

A
  • bipedalism
  • human have a huge head so it needs to be supported
  • the trapezius muscle is deep to the vertebrae so wouldn’t really support the head
36

38
Q

What is the common function of the the brothers, levator scapulae muscle, rhomboid major muscle, and rhomboid minor muscle?

A

medial rotation of the scapula

39
Q

The levator scapulae can medially rotate and do what other scapula movement? What nerve innverates the levator scapulae?

A

elevates the scapula

41
Q

What is the most powerful PROTRACTOR of the shoulder and one of the prime movers for LATERAL rotation of the scapula? What is it innervated by?

A

Serratus anterior muscle

loss of the serratus anterior’s actions weakens the ability to raise the arm above the shoulder

serratus anterior is innervated by the long thoracic nerve

A

the axillary nerve (C5 and C6)

56
Q

What innervates the subscapularis?

A

the upper and lower subscapular nerves (C5 and C6)

57
Q

What muscles are prime movers of abduction and adduction of the arm at the shoulder joint?

A

Deltoid is the sole prime mover for abduction of the arm at the shoulder joint from about 10 to 180 degrees abduction.

There are three prime movers of adduction of the arm at the shoulder joint: pectoralis major, teres major, and latissimus dorsi.

58
Q

Supraspinatus muscle and infraspinatus muscle are innervated by what nerve?

A

suprascapular nerve (C5 and C6)

59
Q

Pectoralis major, teres major, latissimus dorsi, and deltoid are all innervated by what nerve?

A

Pectoralis major is innervated by the medial and lateral pectoral nerves.

Teres major is innervated by the lower subscapular nerve (C5 and C6).

Latissimus dorsi is innervated by the thoracodorsal (middle subscapular) nerve.

Deltoid is innervated by the axillary nerve (C5 and C6).

60
Q

What are the roles of the four muscles that allow for 108 degree abduction of the arm from an anatomical position?

A

Supraspinatus action is required to initiate the first 5-10o of arm abduction from the anatomical position. Supraspinatus thus acts as the sole prime mover of arm abduction at the shoulder joint during the first 5-10 degrees of arm abduction from the anatomical position.

Deltoid action is required to complete arm abduction at the shoulder joint after 10 degrees arm abduction has been achieved. Deltoid thus acts as the prime mover of arm abduction at the shoulder joint from 10 degrees arm abduction onward.

Trapezius and serratus anterior action are required throughout arm abduction from the anatomical position to 180 degrees abduction. Their action as the prime movers of lateral rotation of the scapula is the basis of their contribution.

In the absence of trapezius and serratus anterior action, the arm can be abducted by only about 110 degrees, with all of this abduction occurring as just upward rotation of the humerus at the shoulder joint.

61
Q

Which nerve is more perpendicular to the humerus?

A

subscapular nerve

62
Q

What is the subacromial impingement syndrome?

A

The space directly beneath the acromion (and directly above the shoulder joint) is called the subacromial space, and packed into that space are a group of important structures: 1) the tendon of the long head of the biceps muscle, 2) the subacromial bursa, and 3) the rotator cuff.

Every time the arm is moved at the shoulder joint, supraspinatus’ insertion tendon and the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa move within the relatively narrow subacromial space.

Some arm movements lessen the height of the subacromial space to such an extent that supraspinatus’ insertion tendon and/or the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa become at risk of being entrapped, or impinged, within the subacromial space.

Such repetitive impingement can lead to inflammation or even disruption of supraspinatus’ insertion tendon and/or the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa. The anatomical basis of subacromial impingement is that because the rotator cuff tendons (in particular, the insertion tendon of supraspinatus) and the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa pass through the relatively narrow subacromial space as they extend from the scapular region toward the humerus, they are subject to intermittent or repetitive impingement during arm movements at the shoulder joint.

63
Q

The only muscles involved in abduction of the arm at the shoulder joint, namely, supraspinatus and deltoid, are each innervated by what nerves?

A

nerve fibers from only two spinal nerves: C5 and C6

suprascapular nerve transmits only C5 and C6 nerve fibers to supraspinatus, and the axillary nerve transmits only C5 and C6 nerve fibers to deltoid

However, each muscle receives more innervation from C5 than C6 nerve fibers. The preponderance of C5 nerve fibers in the innervation of both supraspinatus and deltoid explains why C5 nerve fibers control abduction of the arm at the shoulder joint.

64
Q

What do the 3 subscapular nerves innervate?

A

Upper: innervates the superior portion of the subscapularis m.

Middle: also known as the thoracodorsal nerve innervates latissimus dorsi m.

Lower: teres major m.

65
Q

The movement of the muscle is one that contracts the muscle NOT stretch the muscle (they’re not comfortable that way).

A

FACTSS!!!!

66
Q

Paralysis of a muscle will always go in the opposite direction it normally goes.

A

depression of the clavicle

innervated by nerve to the subclavius or subclavian nerve

75
Q

You have more anterior muscles than posterior muscles. True or false?

A

FALLSEE!

76
Q

The deltoid muscle is truly a posterior muscle. True or false? What is its brother?

A

True

teres minor m

both are innervated by the axillary nerve

77
Q

When you have a patient with a rotator cuff problem, what muscles do you focus on?

A

subscapularis m.
suprascapularis m.
infrascapularis m.
teres minor m.

78
Q

What is the function of the subscapularis m. ?

A

internal rotation: rotates the head of the humerus medially

adduction: when the arm is raised, it draws the humerus forward and downward.

It is a powerful defense to the front of the shoulder-joint, preventing displacement of the head of the humerus.

79
Q

What is the vein in the intersection between the deltoid and pectoralis major m. ?

A

cephalic vein

Identification and recognition of the cephalic vein in the deltopectoral triangle (deltopectoral space or groove) is of critical importance when considering emergency catheterization procedures
