Shoulder SOL Flashcards
Which 2 bones that make up the shoulder joint?
Humerus and scapula
Another name for shoulder joint
Glenohumeral joint
2 articular surfaces of shoulder joint
Humeral head, Glenoid fossa of the scapula
What type of joint is the shoulder joint
Ball and socket
Mvmt available at the shoulder joint and plane
Flex/ext (sagittal plane, forward and backward)
ABD/ADD (frontal plane, side to side)
Horizontal ABD/ADD, rotation/circumduction (transverse plane)
Shape of the articular surfaces
Concave (fossa) and convex (head)
How much of the head of the humerus can the glenoid fossa contain and what structure helps to deepen the fossa? Where is it attached?
Less than 1/3.
Labrum attached to the glenoid fossa of the scapula
Where is the fibrous joint capsule attached?
From anatomical neck of humerus to border of the glenoid fossa
2 ligaments that reinforce the joint capsule
Coracohumeral ligament (coracoid process to lesser tubercle)
Glenohumeral ligament (sup, middle, inf - 3 bands)
Is the shoulder joint a stable or mobile joint? Why
Mobile. Ball and socket joint, shallow joint fossa, large ROM and allow many types of movement in 3 planes
Rotator cuff muscles (4)
Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis
Origin of Supraspinatus
Supraspinous fossa of the scapula
Insertion of Supraspinatus
Sup aspect of greater tubercle of humerus
Innervation of Supraspinatus
Suprascapular N (C5-6)
Action of Supraspinatus
Initiate shoulder ABD 0-15 DEG,
shoulder stability - keep the head pressed medially in the fossa
Origin of infraspinatus
Infraspinatus fossa of scapula
Insertion of infraspinatus
Middle facet of greater tubercle
Joint capsule
Innervation of infraspinatus
Suprascapular N (C5-6)
Action of infraspinatus
ER, EXT
Origin of subscapularis
Medial 2/3 of subscapularis fossa
Insertion of subscapularis
Lesser tubercle, front of joint capsule
Innervation of subscapularis
Upper and lower subscapular n (C5-6)
Action of subscapularis
IR
Origin of teres minor
Upper 2/3 of lateral border of posterior scapula
Insertion of teres minor
Inf facet of greater tubercle
Innervation of teres minor
Axillary N C5-6
Action of teres minor
ER (main) ADD (weak)
As well as holding the head of the humerus in the glenoid fossa what other actions do the rotator cuff muscles perform?
- Shoulder stability – holding the head in the socket
- Meidal and lateral rotation
Origin of teres major
Post of inf angle of scapula
Insertion of teres major
Medial lip of bicipital groove of humerus
Innervation of teres major
Lower subscapular N (C5-6)
Action of teres major
ADD,Ext, IR
Origin of Pectoralis major (2 heads)
Clavicular head: ant surface of medial half of clavicle
Sternal head: ant surface of manubrium, body of sternum, ant surface of sup 6 costal cartilages, aponeurosis of external oblique
Insertion of Pectoralis major
Lateral lip of bicipital groove
Innervation of Pectoralis major (dual)
Clavicular head: lateral pectoral N
Sternocostal head: medial pectoral N
Action of Pectoralis major
ADD, IR, FLEX (Clavicular head), EXT (sternal head)
Origin of Pectoralis minor
Underneath pec major, above serratus anterior.
Create a passage b//w the ribs for the brachial plexus and subclavian A&V
Ant surface of 3–5th ribs, close to costal cartilage
Variation in origin is common
