Upper Limbs 1 Flashcards
What makes up the shoulder gridle?
Scapula and Clavicle.
Where in Scapula does Clavicle gets attached to?
Acromion Process
Bones that make up the Upper Extremity?
Humerus (shoulder to elbow), Radius and Ulna (Elbow to wrist), Carpals (Wrist Bone), Metacarpals (Knuckles), and Phalanges (fingers)
Where does the Humerus articulate to form the ball and socket joint of the shoulder
Glenoid Cavity
Acromion Process
Attachment point for Clavicle
Coracoid process
In the Scapula. C-shaped hook for Pec Minor to attach.
What part of Humerus connects to the glenoid cavity of Scapula?
Head
What separates Greater Tubercle from Lesser Tubercle of the Humerus?
Intertubercular Groove- Tendon for Biceps
Difference b/w Anatomical and Surgical Neck
Anatomical Neck is directly distal to the Head. Surgical Neck is “Actual” neck and more fractures can be here since it is much thinner
Deltoid Tuberosity
bump on the lateral side where the deltoid muscle inserts on the humerus and pulls on it.
Radius of the Humerus is found in which type of Condyles?
Capitulum (Lateral)
Ulna of the Humerus is found in which type of Condyles?
Trochlea (medial)
which fossa does Ulna bind to on the Anterior side?
Coranoid Fossa (smaller fossa where the Ulna fits in so we don’t overflex the elbow)
Olecranon Fossa
Big dip on the Posterior side, where the Ulna attaches to the trochlea.
Which shoulder joint has the most mobility?
Glenohumeral Joint
Where is Glenohumeral Joint found
Ball and socket joint between head of humerus and glenoid cavity.
Cartilage within glenoid cavity that allows for head of Humerus to be attached
Glenoid Labrum
Acromioclavicular
type of Joint between the Acromion of Scapula and the lateral end of the Clavicle
Sternoclavicular Joint
Between the Manubrium of Sternum and the medial end of the clavicle
Forearm that’s on the same side as thumb
Radius (lateral Forearm bone)
Forearm that’s on the same side as pinky
Ulna (Medial forearm bone)
What makes up the Proximal end of the Ulna? Name three
Trochlear notch, Olecranon Process (olecranon fossa), and Coronoid Process (Coronoid fossa)
Head of the Radius articulates with?
Capitulum of the Humerus but don’t physically join together.
Distal ends of the Biceps joins where?
Radial Tuberosity
How is Radius and Humerus differs from Ulna?
Radius and Humerus can do a Hinge motion of flexion, but radius can also able to Pivot. Ulna is locked in place so can only hinge but not pivot.
Ulna vs Radius size difference from proximal to Distal
Proximal end, radius is smaller but the Ulna is bigger. But on the distal end, radius is bigger but the ulna is smaller.
Styloid Process
Both Radius and Ulna has it. Looks like Pen stylus which is where the wrist joint will form between the carpals and the distal radius and ulna.
What compartment divides the foramen into Anterior and Posterior muscle?
Interosseous membrane
What allows for forearm pronation and supination?
Radius which can freely rotate along the capitulum (pivot point)
In anatomical position, different between Supination and Pronation of Radius and Ulna?
Supination- Radius and Ulna not crossed
Pronation- Radius and Ulna crossed
What type of Joint allows for Supination and Pronation Pivoting?
Proximal radio-ulnar Joint
Anular Ligament
Important Ligament to hold the radius in place. It wraps around the radial head so that it doesn’t move and helps to hold it in place so that it can pivot without moving out of its socket
What type of joint is Elbow joint
Synovial hinge joint so it can do flexion and extension between the humerus and radius, and humerus and ulna articulating together.
Bones that make up the Carpals? In order
Some Lover tries position that they can’t handle.
Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, and Hamate.
How is thumb bone different than rest of the fingers?
All beside Thumb has three types of Phalanges: Proximal, Medial, and Distal. Thumb bone has only proximal and distal.
Carpal tunnel
formed by Flexor retinaculum covering the Carpal Arch.
Which bone forms the attachment for the carpals and metacarpals of the thumb?
Trapezium
what type of joint is the carpals-metacarpals joint for the thumb?
Saddle Joint which let us do the opposition with the thumb
Wrist Joint attachment point
Radius and Ulna with Scaphoid, Lunate, and Triquetrum. No Pisiform.
