UE Myology Flashcards
What are the Thoracoappendicular (Anterior Axioappendicular) Muscles?
Pectoralis Major M.
Pectoralis Minor M.
Subclavius M.
Serratus Anterior M.
What innervates the Pectoralis Major M.?
Lateral and Medial Pectoral N.
What innervates the Pectoralis Minor M.?
Medial Pectoral N.
***Pierces the muscle!
What innervates the Subclavius M.?
Subclavian N.
What innervates the Serratus Anterior M.?
Long Thoracic N.
Which of the Pectoralis Ms. inserts on the Intertubercular Groove of the Humerus and which one inserts on the Coracoid Process of the Scapula?
Pectoralis Major M.
Pectoralis Minor M.
What is the action of the Pectoralis Minor M.?
Stabilizes Scapula by protracting and depressing it against the Thoracic wall
What is the action of the Subclavius M.?
Positions and depresses the Clavicle
This muscle protracts the Scapula, thereby stabilizing it against the Thoracic Wall, and rotates the Glenoid Cavity superiorly. Paralysis of this muscle, usually as a result to the Long Thoracic N., results in “Winging” of the Scapula away from the Thoracic Wall. This makes abducting the upper limb beyond the horizontal position difficult.
Serratus Anterior M.
What are the Posterior Axioappendicular Muscles?
Trapezius M. Latissimus Dorsi M. Rhomboid Major M. Rhomboid Minor M. Levator Scapulae M.
What are the Scapulohumeral Muscles?
Deltoid M. Subscapularis M. Supraspinatus M. Infraspinatus M. Teres Minor M. Teres Major M.
What are the muscles of the rotator cuff?
Supraspinatus M.
Infraspinatus M.
Teres Minor M.
Subscapularis M.
***SITS
What are the actions of each part of the Deltoid M.?
Anterior part – Flex and Medially Rotate the Humerus
Middle part – Abduct the Humerus
Posterior part – Extend and Laterally Rotate the Humerus
What innervates the Deltoid M.?
Axillary N.
Where do the rotator cuff muscles insert on the Humerus?
Subscapularis M. – Lesser tubercle of Humerus
Supraspinatus M.
Infraspinatus M. — All on Greater tubercle of Humerus
Teres Minor M.
What innervates the Subscapularis M.?
Superior Subscapular N.
Inferior Subscapular N.
What innervates the Supraspinatus M.?
Suprascapular N.
What innervates the Infraspinatus M.?
Suprascapular N.
What innervates the Teres Minor M.?
Axillary N.
What innervates the Teres Major M.?
Inferior Subscapular N.
What action does all the rotator cuff muscles do?
Hold the Humeral Head in the Glenoid Cavity
The Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, and Subscapularis Ms. are collectively referred to as the Rotator Cuff muscles and off stability to the Glenohumeral Joint. Trauma can injure or tear any of the Rotator Cuff muscles resulting in instability of the Glenohumeral Joint. The ___________ is the most commonly injured.
Supraspinatus M.
What are the muscles of the anterior Brachial compartment?
Biceps Brachii M.
Coracobrachialis M.
Brachialis M.
What are the heads of the Biceps Brachii M.?
Long Head (more lateral) Short head (more medial)
Where does the Long Head of the Biceps Brachii M. originate? The Short Head?
Supraglenoid Tubercle of the Scapula (Long head)
Coracoid Process of the Scapula (Short head)
This is the only muscle of the anterior Brachial compartment that does not pass the Elbow Joint, thus not creating any actions on the forearm.
Coracobrachialis M.
What nerve innervates all the muscles of the anterior Brachial compartment?
Musculocutaneous N.
Striking the thumb placed over the Bicipital Tendon with a reflex hammer should produce a Bicipital Myotactic Reflex, failure of the tendon to tighten up and the Forearm to flex slightly could suggest injury to what?
Musculocutaneous N. or C5 and C6 Anterior Rami
Repetitive movement of the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon through the Intertubercular Groove makes that tendon susceptible to inflammation, known as _______ ________, and even ________, a crackling sound. Furthermore that tendon is capable of dislocating out of the Intertubercular Groove or even separating entirely from the Supraglenoid Tubercle, which results in the muscle balling up in the mid arm, a condition known as _________ _________.
Biceps Tendinitis
Crepitus
“Popeye Deformity”
What are the muscles of the posterior Brachial compartment?
Triceps Brachii M.
Anconeus M.
What are the heads of the Triceps Brachii M.?
Long Head
Lateral Head
Medial Head (deep to the other two)
***Inserts on Olecranon of Ulna
What innervates the muscles of the posterior Brachial compartment?
Radial N.
What are the three important spaces in the Posterior Shoulder?
Quadrangular Space
Triangular Space
Triangular Interval
What is the border of the Quadrangular Space?
Teres Minor M. (Superior)
Teres Major M. (Inferior)
Long Head of Triceps Brachii M. (Medial)
Lateral Head of Triceps Brachii M. (Lateral)
What are the contents of the Quadrangular Space?
Posterior Humeral Circumflex A. and V.
Axillary N.
