Shoulder girdle and shoulder joint Flashcards
which articulation forms the shoulder (glenohumeral) joint??
head of humerus and glenoid fossa of scapula
what covers each articular surface
hyaline cartilage
what does the fibrous membrane of a joint capsule attach to
attaches to margin of the glenoid cavity
where ligaments lie anterosuperiorly
superior,middle, and inferior glenohumeral ligaments
what deepens the glenoid cavity
fibrocartilaginous disc
what does the glenoid labrum attach
to the margin of the glenoid fossa
where does the fibrous membrane of joint capsule attach
- Attaches to margin of the glenoid cavity
- Outside attachment of the glenoid labrum and
long head of triceps brachii muscle tendon - As well as anatomical neck of the humerus
- Outside attachment of the glenoid labrum and
how does the ligament form
by thickening of the fibrous membrane
where the coracohumeral ligament lie
Coracohumeral ligament lies superiorly between the base of the coracoid process and the greater tubercle of the humerus
transverse humeral ligament lie
between greater and lesser tubercles of the humerus
coraco-acromial ligament
between coracoid process and acromion process
how does bursae form
synovial membrane protrudes through to form bursae
function of bursae
to reduce friction between tendons and other structures
most consistent form of bursae
subtendinous bursa-between subscapularis muscle and fibrous membrane
location of subacrimonal (subdeltoid) bursa
-between acromion and supraspinatus muscle
- between deltoid and supraspinatus muscles
aterial blood supply
- Branches of anterior and posterior circumflex humeral arteries
- Branches of suprascapular arteries
innervation
- Posterior cord of the brachial plexus
- Suprascapular, axillary and lateral pectoral nerves
what forms the shoulder girdle
the scapula and clavicle
what does the girdle link
it is the link between the thorax and upper limb
origion of trapezius muscle
- Superior nuchal line
- External occipital protuberance
- Nuchal ligament
- Spinous processes of C7 to T1
insertion of trapezius muscle
- Upper fibres on lateral 1/3 of the clavicle
- Middle fibres on acromion and scapula spine
- Lower fibres on tubercle of scapula spine
action of trapezius muscle
- Scapula elevation, scapula rotation during abduction (Upper)
- Scapula retraction (Middle fibres)
- Scapula depression (Lower fibres)
innervation of trapezius
- Accessory nerve (CN XI)
levator scapulae muscle
origin
- Transverse processes of C1-C4
insertion
- Superior border of the scapula
action
- Shoulder elevation
- Assists in lateral rotation of the scapula
innervation
- Dorsal scapular nerve (C5)
- Anterior rami of C3-C5 spinal nerves
rhamboid minor muscle
lies deep to trapezius
origin
- Lower end of nuchal ligament
- Spinous process of C7 – T1
insertion
- Medial border of the scapula
- Until root of the spine of the scapula
rhamboid major muscle
lies deep to trapezius, inferior to the rhamboid minor
origin
spinous process of T1-T4
