Upper Limb: The shoulder Flashcards
Fibrous joints
- Sutures
- Syndesmoses
- Gomphoses
Cartilagenous joints
- Synchondroses
- Symphyses
Synovial joints structure
- Joint capsule
- inner synovial membrane
- outer fibrous capsule
- Hyaline cartilage
- Some have articular disc
- typically very mobile
functional classification of joints
Synarthrosis- no movement
Amphiarthrosis- little movement
Diarthrosis- A lot of movement
Movements at synovial joints
monaxial- no axis of movement
uniaxial- single axis of movement
biaxial- 2 axes of movement
multiaxial- greater than 2 axes of movement
Acromion process of scapula and clavicle structure type, functional type, and movements allowed
- Synovial; plane type
- Diathrotic
- gliding and rotation of scapula on clavicle
Scapula and humerus (shoulder joint/Glenohumeral joint) structure type, functional type, and movements allowed
- Synovial; ball and socket
- Diathrotic
- multiaxial; extension, abduction, adduction, circumlocution, rotation of humerus/arm
Ulna (and Radius) with humerus structure type, functional type, and movements allowed
- Synovial; hinge
- Diarthrotic
- uniaxial; flexion; extension of forearm
Proximal Radius and Ulna structure type, functional type, and movements allowed
- Synovial; pivot
- Diarthrotic
- Uniaxial; rotation of radius around long axis of forearm to allow pronation and supination
Distal Radius and Ulna structure type, functional type, and movements allowed
- Synovial;pivot
- Diarthrotic
- Uniaxial; rotation (convex head of ulna rotates in ulnar notch of radius)
Sternum and clavicle structure type, functional type, and movements allowed
- Synovial; shallow saddle with articular disc
- diarthrotic
- multiaxial
Axioappendicular
connect the axial skeleton to the upper limb
- anterior structure part of the pectoral region - posterior structures part to back region (specifically hypaxial since they act on the limbs)
scapulohumeral
connect the scapula to the humerus
Bursa between the acromion and supraspinatus tendon
Subaromial bursa
Bursa between deltoid muscle and joint capsule
Subdeltoid bursa
Bursa between subscapularis muscle and coracoid process
subcoracoid bursa
The subcoracoid bursa may be fused with the
subscapular bursa
Bursa between subscapularis muscle and joint capsule. communicates with synovial cavity of joint
Subscapular bursa
what three bursa communicate with each other but not with the synovial cavity of the glenohumeral joint
Subacromial bursa, subdeltoid bursa, subcoracoid bursa
Is the bony link that holds the shoulder to the body
The clavicle
Is the top part of your shoulder
The Acromion
Holds the shoulder in place
Rotator cuff muscles and tendons
is a rim of cartilage to which the shoulder capsule attaches
The Labrum
Impingement syndrom (shoulder impingement) involves
- Supraspinatus tendon (tendonitis)
- can involve subacromial (bursitis)
Scapulohumeral Musculature
- deltoid
- teres major
- Rotator cuff muscles
- Subscapularis
- Supraspinatus
- Infraspinatus
- Teres Minor
Rotator cuff muscles
- Subscapularis
- supraspinatus
- infraspinatus
- teres minor
Deltoid proximal attachment
-Lateral 1/3 of clavicle, acromion and spine of scapula
Deltoid distal attachment
-deltoid tuberosity of humerus
Actions of deltoid
-Flexes, medially rotates, abducts, extends and laterally rotates humerus
