P2- FITB & TF ( shoulder joints& muscle) Flashcards
(56 cards)
the most mobile joint in the body and is commonly referred to as the shoulder joint.
glenohumerL joint
a ball-and-socketjoint formed between the head of the humerus and the glenoid cavity of the scapula.
glenohumeral joint
a fibrocartilaginous ring that deepens the glenoid cavity and provides stability to the glenohumeral joint.
glenoid labrum
a group of muscles and tendons that surround the glenohumeral joint and provide stability and movement.
rotator cuffs muscle
The four muscles of the rotator cuff are
supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis
muscle responsible for initiating abductionof the arm.
supraspinatus
muscle responsible for external rotation of the arm.
infraspinatus, and teres minor
muscle responsible for internal rotation of arm
subscapularis
a gliding joint between the acromion of the scapula and the distal end of the clavicle.
acromioclavicular
the only bony connection between the upper limb and the axial skeleton.
sternoclavicular joint
a functional joint between the scapula and the thoracic wall,allowing movement of the scapula.
scapulothoracic joint
ligament connects the clavicle to the coracoid process of the scapula
coracoclavicular joint and it is provides stability to the acromioclavicular joint.
intrinsic ligaments that contribute to the stability of the glenohumeral joint.
glenohumeral ligament
muscle that has two heads
biceps brachii : long and short head
Thelong head of the biceps brachiioriginates from
thesupraglenoid tubercleof the scapula and passes through the glenohumeral joint.
The deltoid muscle is
large,triangular muscle that covers the glenohumeral joint and is responsible forabduction,flexion,andextensionof the arm.
The pectoralis major muscle is
large,fan-shaped muscle that originates from the clavicle,sternum,and ribs and inserts on thehumerus.
The pectoralis minor muscle originates from
the ribs and inserts on thecoracoid processof the scapula
The latissimus dorsi muscle is
the largest muscle of the back and is responsible for adduction and extensionof the arm.
The trapezius muscle is
a large,superficial muscle that covers the upper back and neck and is responsible for scapular movement.
The levator scapulae muscle originates from
the neck and inserts on thesuperior angleof the scapula.
The rhomboid muscles (major &minor)
are responsible for retraction of the scapula.
Theserratus anterior muscle originates from
the ribs and inserts on the medial border of the scapula,facilitating protraction.
The teres major muscle is responsible
for adduction and internal rotation of the arm
