The Shoulder Flashcards
types of solid joints
fibrous and cartilaginous
fibrous joints composition
solid, limited movement
sutures, syndesmoses, composes
develop from cartilaginous (adults)
cartilaginous joint composition
synchondroses
symphyses
synovial joints
joint capsule
hyaline cartilage
some have articular disc
typically mobile
joint capsule is composed of
inner synovial membrane
outer fibrous capsule
3 functional classifications of joints
synarthrosis
amphiarthrosis
diarthrosis
amphiarthrosis
joints with little movement
synarthrosis
joints with no movement
diarthrosis
joints with lots of movement
i.e. synovial joints
nonaxial
joint with no axis of movement
uniaxial
joint with single axis of movement
biaxial
joint with 2 axes of movement
multiaxial
> 2 axes of movement
6 joints of the upper limb
acromioclavicular glenohumerol (shoulder) elbow radioulnar (proximal) radioulnar (distal) sternocalvicular
all are synovial, diarthrotic
acromioclavicular joint
articulating bones
acromion process of scapula, clavicle
acromioclavicular joint
structural type
synovial, plane
acromioclavicular joint
functional type and movements allowed
diarthrotic, gliding and rotation of scapula
scapula and humerus compose which joint
shoulder
shoulder joint structural type
synovial
ball and socket
movements allowed by shoulder joint
multiaxial, flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction, rotation of humerus/arm
elbow articulating bones
ulna and radius with humerus
elbow structural type
synovial
hinge
movements allowed by elbow
uniaxial
flexion , extension of forearm
what muscles groups are considered shoulder
axioappendicular
scapulohumeral
axioappendicular
connect axial skeleton to the upper limp
anterior structures of pectoral region
posterior structures of back
scapulohumeral muscles
connect scapula to humerus
bursae in the shoulder
fluid filled sacks
subacromial
sub deltoid
subcoracoid
subscapular
subacromial bursa
space between acromion and supraspinatus tendon
very fragile
sub deltoid bursa
between deltoid muscle and joint capsule
very large
subcoracoid bursa
between subscapularis muscle and coracoid process
may be fused with sub scapular bursa
which bursae can communicate with each other but not with synovial cavity?
subacromial
sub deltoid
subcoracoid
sub scapular bursa
between subscapularis muscle and joint capsule
communicates with synovial joint
function of clavicle (big picture)
bony link that holds the shoulder to the body
function of the capsule
pocked that provides stability
what is a bursa?
lubricating sac in synovial joint
what holds the shoulder in place?
rotator cuff muscles and tendons
describe the general function of the labrum
rim of the cartilage to which the capsule attaches
impingement syndrome
clinical syndrome which occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles become irritated and inflamed as they pass through the subacromial space, the passage beneath the acromion. This can result in pain, weakness and loss of movement at the shoulder
what tendon is involved in impingement syndrome
supraspinatus tendon
can involve subacromial (bursitis)
