Chapter 4 Flashcards
The shoulder girdle and joints (51 cards)
Bones that involved in the shoulder girdle movements?
Scapula an clavicle are working as a unit
Joints of the shoulder girdle?
Sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular joint, scapulothoracic, and glenohumeral joint
What joint is not a true joint?
Scapulothoracic joint
Actions of the Scapulothoracic joint?
Elevation/Depression - 55 degree
Ab/adduction (protraction/retraction) - 25 degree
Up/downward rotation - 60 degree
What is the only bony attachment attaching the upper limb to
the axial skeleton?
Sternoclavicular joint
Trapezius muscle
It goes from C7 to T12
Upper fibers of the Trapezius muscle produce …
Elevation, extention and rotation of the head
Middle fibers of the Trapezius muscle produce …
Mostly Adduction but also elevation and upward rotation
Lower fibers of the Trapezius muscle produce …
Depression, adduction and upward rotation
By what nerve is the Trapezius muscle innervated?
Spinal accessory nerve 11
Levator scapula muscle
It’s called like that because it elevates the scapula
Rhomboid minor muscle attaches …
From C7 to T1
Rhomboid major muscle attaches …
From T2 to T5
Rhomboid major and minor muscles will collectively
Adduct (retract) the scapula
By what nerve are the Levator scapula, Rhomboid major and minor muscles innervated
Dorsal scapula nerve C5
Serratus anterior muscle
It serrates the 9 ribs at the side of the chest that’s why it’s called like that
By what nerve is the Serratus anterior muscle innervated
Long thoracic nerve C5-C7
What nerve is easy to injure?
Long thoracic nerve
Pectoralis minor muscle
Arises from rib 3 to 5. It helps to stabilize the Scapulothoracic joint
Subclavicus muscle
It comes from rib one to the bottom of clavicle support
The Scapulothoracic joint doesn’t have any ligamentous support?
True
What joint is easy to injure?
Acromioclavicular joint
The glenohumeral joint is a …
Synovial joint which means “Ball and Socket”
The glenohumeral joint is a really flexible joint, but the same time it doesn’t have enough stability
True
