Upper Extremity 1 Flashcards
Articulations of Clavicle
Only connection of axial skeleton to UA
medial: articulates with manubrium–> SC jt
lateral: articulates with the scapula–> Ac jt
Fractures most common on clavicle
junction between middle and lateral third
Glenohumeral Joint
glenoid fossa of scapula articulates with head of humerus
AC Jt
acromium process of SCAPULA articulates with laterl end of CLAVICLE
Acromion
deltoid & trapezius attachment
coracoid process
short head of biceps brachii, coracobrachialis and pec minor attachment
spine of scapula
deltoid & trapezius attachment
wraps around back, clavicle, acromeum, spine (anchor pt for muscle above and below)
Spurpaspinous fossa
supraspinatus attachment
infraspinous fossa
infraspinatus attachment
rotator cuff muscle lands here
subscapular fossa
subscapularis attachment
supraglenoid tuberle
attachment sites for long head of biceps brachii
infraglenoid tubercle
attachment sites for long head triceps
Greater tubericle of humerus
attachment site for external rotators of rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor muscle)
Lesser tubericle of humerous
attachment for internal rotator of rotator cuff muscles
subscapularis
Bicipital groove of humerous
attachment of tendon of long head of biceps brachii
also attaches pec major, latissimus dorsi, teres major
Pectoralis Major
O- clavicular head–> anterior surface of medial half of clavicle
Sternocostal head–> anterior surface of sternum, superior 6 costal cartilages, aponeurosis of exit oblique
I- lateral lip of intertubercular of humerus
N- lateral & medial pectoral nerves, clavicular head (C5-6), sternal head (C7-T1)
A-adduction and medial rotation of humerus, assists in flex/extension of humerus
Pectoralis Minor
O-ribs 3-5 near costal cartilage
I- medial border and superior surface of coracoid process of scap
N- medial pectoral nerve (C8-T1)
A- stabilizes scapula by drawing it inferiorly and anteriorly against thoracic wall (depressed and protracts scap)
Subclavius
O- jxn of 1st rib and its costal cartilage
I- inferior surface of middle third of clavicle
N-nerve to subclavius (C5-6)
A- anchors and depresses clavicle
Serratus Anterior
O- external surfaces of lateral parts of ribs 1-8
I- anterior surfaces of medial border of scapula
N- long thoracic nerve (C5-7)
A- protracts scapula and holds it against thoracic wall, upward rotation of scapula
Deltopectoral Triangle
Deltoid, pec major, clavicle
cephalic veins passes superficial to deep to join with axillary vein
Trapezius
attaches shoulder girdle to axial skeleton
upper–> elevate, upward rotation, retraction of scapula
middle–> retraction of scapula
lower–> depression, upward rotation, retraction of scapula
Latissimus dorsi
acts on GH joint, indirectly on capulothoracic jt
extends, adducts, medially rotates humerus
Levator Scapulae
elevate & downward rotation of scapula (proximal attachment fixed)
lateral flex, ipsilateral rotation of neck (distal attachment fixed)
Rhomboid Major + Minor
deep to trap
retract & downward rotation of scapula, stabilize scapula
damage to scapula nerve=scapula deviated laterally from midline
Deltoid
innervated by–>axillary nerve
3 heads–> anterior, middle, posterior
synergistically abduct arm, posterior and anterior heads stabilize humerus
Anterior- flex & internal rotation of humerus
Middle- abducts humerus
Posterior head- extends and externally rotates humerus
