UNIT 2 - chapter 9 Flashcards
Shoulder girdle
Scapula and clavicle, acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joints
Shoulder joint
Scapula and humerus, glenohumeral joint
Shoulder bones, joints, ligaments
Scapular - resting between ribs 2-7 Clavicle Sternum, ribs attach Humerus Rib cage, scapula glides on
Joints Glenohumeral Sternoclavicular Acromioclavicular Scapulothoracic Articulation
Ligaments
Sternoclavicular
Acromioclavicular
Coracoidacromial
Scapulothoracic articulation
Not a true joint, provides motion and flexibility, scapula not really attached to thorax
Glenohumeral joint
shoulder joint, most mobile in the body, external and internal rotation, flexion/extension, abduction/ adduction, horizontal abduction and adduction
Sternoclavicular joint
The direct attachment of the shoulder girdle to the trunk Clavicle moves, sternum doesn't 3 subtle degrees of motion: 1. elevation/ depression 2. protraction/ retraction 3. rotation synovial joint
Articular disc
shock absorber, attached in 2 places acts like a hinge on a door that swings in both directions
Costoclavicular ligament
limits the elevation of the clavicle
Sternoclavicular ligament
provides reinforcement of joint, limits anterior/posterior movement
Interclavicular ligament
On top of the manubrium, connect the clavicles, limits depression
Acromioclavicular joint
Connects with acromion process and lateral end of the clavicle
weak joint
increased mobility
Acromioclavicular ligament
superior and inferior, prevents dislocation of clavicle by holding it to the acromion
Accessory ligaments of the acromioclavicular joint
Coracoclavicular ligament: prevents backwards movement of the scapula and limits rotation
Coracoacromial ligament: forms a protective arch over the humerus, provides support to the humeral head
Scapulothroacic
Refers to movements of the scapula and clavicle (acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joints)
Elevation/ depression linear
Protraction/ retraction linear
Upward and downward rotation angular/ rotational
INFERIOR angle is reference point
scapuar tilt
Scapular winging
disfunction, loss of muscle function, loss of stabilizing muscles, scapular lifts away from rib cage, noticeable at the vertebral border
