STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION OF THE UPPER EXTREMITY MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM Flashcards
Name the regions of the vertebral column and how many vertebrae per section
a. Cervical
(1) 7 vertebrae
b. Thoracic
(1) 12 vertebrae
c. Lumbar
(1) 5 vertebrae
d. Coccyx
(1) 4 fused Vertebrae
There are four normal cures which help to increase strength, help balance, and absorb shock.
I dont know what they are though and it doesnt say in the TG so far.
Where would you find a lordotic curve
Cervical and thoracic vertebrae
Where would you find a kyphotic curve
Thoracic and sacral curves
Anatomy of a the vertebra
(1) Body
(2) Vertebral arch
(3) Processes extending from the arch
Hallmarks of Thoracic Vertebra
(2) Larger than cervical vertebrae
(3) Have facets for rib articulation
Hallmarks of Lumbar Vertebra
(2) Largest, strongest
(3) Spinous processes are short, thick
Hallmarks of Sacrum Vertebra
(2) Foundation for pelvic girdle
(3) Contain sacral foramina for nerves and blood vessels
bones of the thorax
a. Sternum
b. Ribs
Parts of the sternum
(1) Manubrium
(2) Body
(3) Xyphoid process
true ribs
R1-R7
Costal cartilage articulates directly with the sternum
false ribs
R8-R10
Articulate with the sternum bi cartilage of Rib 7
floating ribs
R11- R12
Do not articulate with the sternum at all
bones of the pectoral girdle
a. Clavicle
b. Scapula
What does the Clavicle articulate with
(1) Articulates with sternum medially
(2) Articulates with acromion laterally
(3) The “strut” between the scapula and sternum
Name the regions of the Scapula
(1) Spine
(2) Body
(a) Vertebral border
(b) Axillary border
(3) Acromion
(a) Part of the scapula that forms the “tip of the shoulder”
(b) Extends anteriorly and superiorly over the humeral head
(4) Coracoid
(a) Provides attachment site for muscles and ligaments
Ligaments of the Pectoral Girdle
a. Acromioclavicular ligament
b. Coracoclavicular ligament
c. Coracoacromial ligament
How much of the humeral head makes contact in the Glenoid Cavity
25%
What is the ring that is formed in the glenoid cavity
Glenoid Labrum
What does the glenoid labrum do
Deepens the glenoid and provides more stability to the joint
What are the muscles of the rotator cuff
(SITS) supraspinatus infraspinatus teres minor subscapularis
Which rotator cuff muscle Assists deltoid in abduction of the humerous at the shoulder
Supraspinatus
Which rotator cuff muscle External rotation of the humerus at the shoulder joint
Infraspinatus
