Take 1 Flashcards
axial skeleton
cranium, vertebral column, ribs, sternum
appendicular skeleton
upper extremity bones (shoulder arm forearm wrist) and lower extremity bones, including pectoral (shoulder - scapula and clavicle) and pelvic girdles
synovial joints
connection between two bony structures covered in hyaline cartilage; contains cavity between bones involved.
synovial membrane
membrane surrounding hyaline cartilage that secretes lubricating and nourishing synovial fluid.
joint capsule
outer fibrous layer in synovial joints containing synovial membrane, bony surfaces, and synovial/joint cavity.
pectoral girdle
shoulder - scapula and clavicle
glenohumeral joint (GH)
joint between scapula, clavicle, and humorous
clavicle
- s shaped, long bone at shoulder level
- articulation: proximally with sternum, scapula distally
scapula: bony processes, and which is anterior?
-two bony processes (acromion, coracoid process) project anteriorly; coracoid is more anterior.
glenoid cavity
hyaline lined depression in scapula, site of glenohumoral joint.
humerus: proximal to distal
- proximal to distal: anatomical neck, surgical neck, deltoid tuberosity
- @head humerus: greater tubercle
humerus - tubercles anterio-medial to posterio-lateral
greater tubercle is lateral; lesser tubercle is anterior; lesser tubercle, inter tubercular groove, greater tubercle.
acromioclavaicular (AC) joint
anterior side of acromion - lateral edge of clavicle.
sternoclavicular joint (SC)
synovial joint between clavicle’s medial end and manubrium of sternum; attaches pectoral girdle to axial skeleton
ligaments between humerus and scapula
superior, middle, inferior glenohumeral ligament
ligaments from coracoid to acromion to clavicle
coracoacromial, acromioclavicular ligaments
ligaments between coracoid and clavicle, medial to lateral
coracoclavicular - conoid, then trapezoid (then coracoacromial)
