Scapular and Pectoral Regions Flashcards
(139 cards)
Connects UL to the axial skeleton
Clavicle and scapula
Where does the UL articular with the sternum
Sternoclavicular
Is the sternum apart of the pectoral girdle
Sternum
From manubrium of the sternum to the acromion of the scapula
Clavicle
to act as a strut for holding the UL free from the trunk so it may have maximum range of motion
Function of the clavicle
posterolateral aspect of thorax (2nd to 7th ribs) – connect the clavicle to the humerus
Scapula
Humerus Radius Ulna Carpal bones (wrist) metacarpal bones of hand phalanges (fingers)
Superior portion of appendicular skeleton
Another word for pectoral girdle
Shoulder or Shoulder girdle
2 joints of the shoulder complex
Sternoclavicular
Acromioclavicular Glenohumeral joints.
a synovial ball and socket articulation of the head of the humerus and the glenoid cavity of the scapula.
Glenohumeral joint
Multiaxial with a wide ROM usually provided at the cost of skeletal stability.
Glenohumeral joint
What provides joint stability to pectoral girdle?
- rotator cuff muscles/tendons
- long head of the biceps brachii m.
- elated bony processes
- extracapsular ligaments
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial rotation, lateral rotation and circumduction.
Movements of pectoral girdle
Shoulder pads
Deltoid m
Lats little helper
Teres major m
4 muscles of the rotator cuff
- Supraspinatus m
- Infraspinatus m
- Teres minor m
- Subscapularis m
Action of the deltoid
abducts humerus (1°), flexes, extends & rotates humerus (2°)
N: Axillary n. & Post. Circumflex Humeral vessels
Deltoid muscle
What vertebrae does the axillary nerve associated with?
C5, C6
Function of Teres Major
medially rotates & extends humerus
N: Lower (inferior) Subscapular n. & subscapular vessels
Teres Major muscle
Vertebrae associated with Lower subscapular nerve
C5-C7
Where does the action of teres major occur?
Glenohumeral joint
Contributes to adduction of the humerous
Teres Major m.
