Week Five Flashcards
What are the bones of the shoulder gridle/pectorial gridle?
- Scapula
- Clavicle
- Manubrium
- Sternum
- Humerus
What are the bones in the shoulder gridle good for?
Great mobility at the expense of instability
What are the joints in the shoulder gridle, what type of joint are they and describe where they are?
- Sternoclavicular (SC) joint: saddle
- Acromioclavicular (AC) joint: plane
- Glenohumeral (GH) joint: ball & socket

What is the function of the Acromioclavicular joint?
Function: keep relationship of clavicle & scapula in elevation of UL
What are the stabilisers of the Glenohumeral joint?

What are the muscles of the Anterior Axio-Appendicular?
- Pectoralis major
- Pectoralis minor
- Subclavius
- Serratus anterior
What is the proximal and distal attachment of the pectoralis major (clavicular head and sternal head)?
-Proximal:
Clavicular head: medial ½ of clavicle
Sternal head: anterior surface of sternum and superior 6 costal cartilages
-Distal: lateral lip intertubercular sulcus humerus
What is the action of the pectoralis major?
Action: ADD & IR humerus
o Clavicular: flexes humerus
o Sternal: extends humerus from flexed
What is the nerve supply of the pectoralis major?
NS: lateral & medial pectoral
What is the proximal and distal attachment of the Pectoralis minor?
- P: anterior surface of 3rd-5th ribs near costal cartilages
- D: coracoid process
What is the action of the Pectoralis minor?
Action: draws scapula anteriorly and inferiorly against thorax; stabilise scapula
What is the nerve supply of the Pectoralis minor?
NS: medial pectoral
What is the proximal and distal attachment of the Subclavius?
- P: costal cartilaginous joint 1st rib
- D: inferior surface mid 1/3 clavicle
What is the action of the Subclavius?
Function: stabilises clavicle into SCJ
What is the nerve supply of the Subclavius?
NS: nerve to subclavius
What is the proximal and distal attachment of the Serratus anterior?
- P: External lateral surface ribs 1-8
- D: anterior surface of medial border of scapula
What is the action of the Serratus anterior?
Action: protract and upwardly rotate scapula; stabilise scapula against thoracic wall
What is the nerve supply of the Serratus anterior?
NS: Long thoracic
What are the muscles of the Posterior Axio-Appendicular?
- Trapezius
- Levator scapulae
- Rhomboids minor
- Rhomboid major
- Latissimus dorsi
What is the proximal and distal attachment of the trapezius?
- P: superior nuchal line, occipital protuberance, nuchal ligament, spinous process C7 – T12
- D: spine of scapula, lateral 1/3 clavicle
What is the action of the trapezius?
Action: moves scapula
- Descending (Superior): elevation & upward rotation
- Middle: retraction
- Ascending (Inferior): depression & upward rotation
What is the nerve supply of the trapezius?
NS: Accessory
What is the proximal and distal attachment of the latissimus dorsi?
- P: spinous processes T6-12, thoracolumbar fascia (TLF), inferior 3-4 ribs, iliac crest
- D: floor of intertubercular sulcus of humerus
What is the action of the latissimus dorsi?
Action: ADD, EXT, IR of GHJ
- Directly moves arm on GHJ
- Indirectly moves scapula on STJ
What is the nerve supply of the latissimus dorsi?
NS: Thoracodorsal
What is the proximal and distal attachment of the levator scapulae?
- P: transverse processes C1-4
- D: superior angle, medial border, base (root) of spine of scapula
What is the action of the levator scapulae?
Action: elevate scapula, side flexion of neck, control scapula in UL movements
What is the nerve supply of the levator scapulae?
NS: 3rd & 4th cervical, dorsal scapular
What is the proximal and distal attachment of the Rhomboid minor
- P: spinous processes C7-T1, nuchal ligament
- D: medial border on the base of the spine of scapula
What is the action of the Rhomboid minor?
Action: retract & rotate scapula; fix scapula to thoracic wall
What is the nerve supply of the Rhomboid minor?
NS: Dorsal scapular
What is the proximal and distal attachment of the Rhomboid major?
- P: spinous processes T2-5
- D: medial border of scapula from spine to inferior angle
What is the action of the Rhomboid major?
Action: retract & rotate scapula; fix scapula to thoracic wall
What is the nerve supply of the Rhomboid major?
NS: Dorsal scapular
What are the Scapulohumeral muscles?
- Deltoid
- Supraspinatus
- Infraspinatus
