Week1Anatomy Flashcards
Scapula (parts)
- inferior angle
- medial, superior, & lateral border
- spine
- acromion
- supraspinous fossa
- suprascapular notch
Humerus (parts)
-head
-anatomical neck
-surgical neck
-greater tubercle
-lesser tubercle
deltoid tuberosity
clavicle
know it!
vertebral column
protects Spinal cord
Accessory nerve
O: from C1 to C6 segments of spinal cord
In: trapezius
transverse cervical artery
runs near levator scapulae and accessory nerve (can’t always see this)
O: from thyrocervical trunk [branch of subclavian artery]
Rhomboid (major & minor)
-under trapezius O: spinous processes of C7 to T5 I: medial border of the scapula N: dorsal scapular nerve FXN: retract the scapula & depress the glenoid cavity
levator scapulae muscle
O: transverse processes of C1-C4
I: upper portion of medial border of scapula
N: dorsal scapular nerve
FXN: elevate scapula
latissimus dorsi muscle
O: spinous processes below T6, thoracolumbar fascia, iliac crest and lower 3 or 4 ribs
I: intertubercular groove of humerous
N: thoracodorsal
FXN: extends, adducts, & medially rotates upper extremity
serratus anterior muscle
O: lateral border of ribs 1-8
I: medial border of the scapula.
N: long thoracic nerve
FXN: protracts the scapula and holds it against the body wall. & facilitates rotation of the scapula.
triangle of auscultation
formed by:
- trapezius
- rhomboid major
- latissimus dorsi
deltoid muscle
O: lateral third of the clavicle, the acromion, and the spine of scapula
I: deltoid tuberosity of the humerus.
N: axillary nerve.
FXN: (functions vary depending upon the part that is functioning)
—an abductor of the upper extremity is most significant.
axillary nerve
In: deltoid muscle
-passes through quadrangular space to deep surface of deltoid muscle
subacromial bursa
aka subdeltoid bursa
-deep to deltoid muscle and acromion
supraspinatous muscle
-above spine of scapula O: respective fossae of the scapula I: greater tubercle of the humerus. N:suprascapular nerve. BS: suprascapular artery, a branch of the thyrocervical trunk that originates from the subclavian artery FXN: part of rotator cuff
infraspinatous muscle
-below scapular spine
O: respective fossae of the scapula
I: greater tubercle of the humerus.
N:suprascapular nerve.
BS: suprascapular artery, a branch of the thyrocervical trunk that originates from the subclavian artery
FXN: part of rotator cuff, laterally rotates upper extremity
teres minor muscle
O: lateral border of the scapula I: greater tubercle of the humerus N: axillary nerve. FXN: Along with the infraspinatus, it laterally rotates the upper extremity. -part of rotator cuff
teres major muscle
O: inferior angle of the scapula
I: medial lip of the intertubercular groove of the humerus
N: lower subscapular nerve.
long head of triceps
part of quadrilateral/quadrangular space
quadrilateral or quadrangular space
formed by:
- humerus
- long head of the triceps
- teres major
- teres minor
- *axillary nerve & posterior circumflex humeral artery/vein pass through this space
posterior circumflex humeral artery
runs w/ axillary nerve through the quadrangular space
transverse scapular ligament
bridges over the suprascapular notch
-The suprascapular nerve passes below the ligament, while the suprascapular artery and vein pass above
suprascapular notch
a divot in the superior part of the scapula where:
- transverse scapular ligament covers it
- suprascapular nerve passes under ligament
- suprascapulara/v passes over it
