Unit 3 Pectoral girdle and shoulder Flashcards
overview of the upper limb - 4 segments
shoulder
arm
forearm
hand
what’s part of the shoulder segment
pectoral
scapular
deltoid regions
what’s part of the arm segment
also known as brachium
- first segment of free upper limb, between shoulder and elbow
what’s part of the forearm segment
also known as antebrachium
- between elbow and wrist
whats part of the hand segment
also called manus
- includes the wrist, palm, dorsal of the hand and digits
what is your pectoral made of and the characteristics of it
- made of clavicle and scapula
- incomplete ring
- mobility of scapula allows for free movement of UL
- clavicle = strut
- joints include articulations of the clavicle: sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular
- contrast the pectoral and pelvic girdles
what articulates with the clavicle
sterncolavicular and acromioclavicular
characteristics of the sternoclavicular joint
- strong, mobile
- synovial, saddle joint
-sternal end of clavicle with manubrium and 1st costal cartilage
sternoclavicular joint is strengthened by
- anterior/posterior sternoclavicular lig.
- costoclavicular lig
- interclavicular lig
blood supply to the sternoclavicular joint
internal thoracic and branches of thyrocervical trunk
- axillary artery
innervation to sternoclavicular joint
medial supraclavicular nerve (mostly cutaneous) and nerve to subclavius
nerve to subclavius
C5-C6
most common dislocation for SC (posterior or anterior)
anterior
subclavius muscle main purpose is to? origin, insertion, etc
steady the clavicle in the SC joint
O: first rib
I: inferior surface of clavicle
Inn: nerve to subclavius
Blood: thoracoacromial artery (clavicular branch)
characteristics of acromioclaviuclar joint (AC)
-synovia, plane joint
- acromion of scapula and acromial end of clavicle
- movement of scapula
what strengthened the acromioclavicular joint
joint is strengthen by extrinsic ligaments
- coracoclavicular ligament: conoid ligament, trapezoid ligament
- acromioclavicular ligament
main purpose of coracoclavicular ligament? its made up of?
- anchor the clavicle to the coracoid process
- made up of conoid ligament and trapezoid ligament
what is the blood supply to AC joint
supra scapular and thoracoacromial arteries
nerve innervation of AC joint
lateral pectoral and axillary nerves
coracoacromial arch is made of
- made by the coracoacromial ligament
- subacromial bursa in subacromial space
where is the site of bursitis and shoulder impingement ?
subacromial bursa in subacromial space
what is most needed for activities when arm is overhead?
subacromial bursa
characteristics of glenohumeral joint
- synovial, ball and socket joint
- very mobile, less stable
- loose, fibrous joint capsule
humeral head of glenohumeral joint articulates with?
and 1/3 of its head sits?
1) glenoid cavity
2) sits in the vanity due to glenoid labrum
the loose, fibrous joint capsule of glenohumeral joint allows?
-opening for tendon of long head of biceps brachia
- opening inferior to coracoid process, communication between bursa and synovial membrane
blood supply for glenohumeral joint
anterior and posterior humeral circumflex arteries and branches of suprascapular artery
nerve innervation of glenohumeral joint
suprascapular nerve, axillary nerve, lateral pectoral nerve
the axillary nerve may be injured in a shoulder dislocation. How would you know if this nerve is injured?
weakness contraction of deltoid (numbness)
