Unit 1_Shoulder & Axilla Flashcards
What comprises the pectoral girdle?
Clavicle (“collarbone”)
Scapula (“shoulder blade”)
Connects the free parts of the upper limbs to the axial skeleton
What movements are in the Sagittal plane?
Flexion
Extension
What movements are in the Coronal plane?
Abduction
Adduction
What movements are in the Transverse plane?
Internal rotation
External rotation
Horizontal abduction
Horizontal adduction
What are the joints of the shoulder complex?
Sternoclavicular Joint
Acromioclavicular Joint
Glenohumeral Joint
Scapulothoracic Joint
What saddle joint is not typically dislocated, connects the sternal end of the clavicle and the manubrium of the sternum, includes a clavicular notch with an interclavicular ligament, a capsule (synovial lining), and an articular disc?
Sternoclavicular Joint
Allows for 3 movements:
Rotation - Sagittal
Elevation/Depression - Coronal
Retraction/Protraction - Transverse
What gliding joint connects the acromion process and the clavicle, is typically dislocated, includes a joint capsule (fibrous tissue), coracoclavicular ligament, coracoacromial ligament, supraspinatus tunnel, and contains hyaline cartilage?
Acromioclavicular Joint
What joint connects the glenoid fossa with the proximal humeral head?
Glenohumeral Joint
What joint is not a true joint, but articulates the subscapular fossa with the posterior thorax and promotes scapulorhumeral rhythm?
Scapulothoracic Joint
What can ligaments do?
Restrain motion, prevent against extensive motion
What is a bony prominence on the scapula protruding anteriorly?
Coracoid Process
What ligament in the Acromioclavicular Joint connects the coracoid process with the clavicle?
Coracoclavicular ligament
What ligament in the Acromioclavicular Joint connects the coracoid process with the acromion process, and spans the anterior to the posterior aspect of the scapula creating the supraspinatus tunnel?
Coracoacromial ligament
What muscles support the Scapulothoracic Joint?
Trapezius
Rhomboids
Levator Scapulae
Serratus Anterior
What nerve runs alongside the serratus anterior?
Long Thoracic Nerve
If there’s injury to the Long Thoracic Nerve, what may result?
Winged Scapula
What is the most medial portion of the coracoclavicular ligament?
Conoid Ligament
The sternal end of the clavicle articulates with what structure?
Manubrium of sternum
The costal surface of the scapula is what shape? And it house what muscle?
Concave
Subscapularis
What does the glenohumeral joint articulate?
Glenoid fossa of the scapula and the humeral head
