VIVA Revision - Information Flashcards
Sternoclavicular Joint
Joins clavicle to manubrium of sternum. Synovial joint, where 4 ligaments attach to it (ANT/POS sternoclavicular, interclavicular and costoclavicular)
Acromioclavicular Joint
Synovial joint that joins acromion to the clavicle. 4 ligaments reinforce this joint - acromioclavicular, coracoclavicular, trapezoid and conoid
Acromion Process
Articulates with the clavicle. Origin of the middle deltoid.
Coracoid Process
Hook like structure that projects anteriorly. The insertion point of pectoralis major. Origin of coracobrachialis and short head of biceps
Inferior Angle of Scapula
Insertion point for teres major. Determines movement of scapula - moving medially results is medial rotation and moving laterally results in lateral rotation
Medial Border of Scapula
Longest of the 3 borders, extending from the medial to inferior angle. Insertion point of rhomboids.
Spine of Scapula
Articulates with the acromion process. Superior of it is supraspinatus and inferior is infraspinatus. Insertion point of trapezius.
Sternal Angle
This is where the trachea divides and arch of aorta can be found. T4 is found posteriorly, and it is attached to the second rib.
Tendon of Pectoralis Major
Originates from ,ribs 2-6, sternum and medial clavicle. Inserts onto the greater tubercle of the humerus. Performs flexion and abduction of shoulder.
Tendon of Latissimus Dorsi
Originates from T9-T12, L1-L5 and posterior iliac crest. Inserts onto the intertubercular groove of humerus. Performs extension, abduction and medial rotation of shoulder.
Deltoid - 3 sections
Attaches scapula and clavicle to humerus. Main function is to abduct shoulder. Anterior origin is the clavicle, lateral is acromion and posterior is spine of scapula.
Greater tubercle of Humerus
Proximal and lateral end of humerus. Attachment site for 3 rotator cuffs. Insertion point of pectoralis major.
Lateral & Medial Epicondyles of Humerus
Medial is common insertion point for flexors. Lateral is common insertion point for extensors.
Cubital Tunnel
Ulnar nerves pass through. Between the medial epicondyle and olecranon.
Cubital Fossa
Base is the biceps, lateral border is brachioradialis, medial border is pronator teres. Contains biceps tendon, brachial artery/vein and median nerve.
Olecranon Process
Fits into olecranon fossa and prevents hyperextension.
Head of Ulna
Ulna styloid is on the head, more projected during pronation.
Radial Styloid
Origin of abductor pollucis longus and extensor pollicis brevis. Insertion point of brachioradialis at base.
Metacarpals 1-5
Connect carpals to phalanges, attachment for wrist flexors.
Metacarpophalangeal Joints
Connects carpals to phalanges.
Proximal Phalanges
Insertion of interossei, base of prox. phalange - ABD digiti minimi, ABD pollicis, flexor pollicis brevis etc.
Proximal Interphalangeal Joints
Second knuckle
Middle Phalanges
Insertion of flexor digitorum superficialis
Distal Interphalangeal Joints
Volar plate prevent hyperextension
Distal Phalanges
Insertion for FLX digitorum profundus and FLX pollicis longus
Scaphoid
Floor of snuff box and articulates with radius, capitate, lunate, trapezoid and trapezium.
Pisiform
Origin for ABD digiti minimi and FLX capri ulnaris
1st Dorsal Interousseus Muscle
Palmar and dorsal abducts fingers. In-between metacarpals
Thenar Muscles
Opponens Pollicis - (median nerve). ABD pollicis brevis (median). ADD pollicis (ulnar). FLX pollicis brevis (median + ulnar)
Hypothenar
Opponens Digiti minimi (ulnar) ABD Digiti minimi (Ulnar) FLX Digiti minimi (ulnar)
Carpometacarpal Joint of Thumb
Connects carpal bones to metacarpal bones
Palmaris Longus Tendon
Inserts on palmaris aponeurosis. Some people don’t have it.
Extensor Digitorum Tendons
Originates on lateral epicondyle and extends fingers, innervated by radial nerve.
