Upper Limb part 1 Flashcards
What is the upper limb characterized by
mobility
ability to grasp
fine motor skills
** sacrifice stability for mobility
what are the segments of the upper limb
shoulder
arm
forearm
hand
What is the superior appendicular skeleton
the pectoral girdle and the upper limb
What is the pectoral girdle
the shoulder which includes the clavicle and scapula
what allows for motion of the upper limb
the icompleteness of the posterior because is it not connnected like the front is
what are the joints of the clavicle
sternoclavicular joint
acromioclavicular joint
what 4 muscles move the pectoral girdle
1 pectoralis major
2 pectoralis minor
3 subclavius
4 serratus anterior
what is the deltopectoral groove
this is between the pec major and the deltoid
contains the cephalic vein and superior to this groove is the deltopectoral triangle
what is a test to see if the nerves to the serratus anterior are working ( long thoracic )
by having someone push up against the wall to see the right winged scapula
What are posterior axioappendicular mm.
they attach the superior appendicular skeleton tot he axial skeleton
what are the posterior should muscles
1 superficial posterior axioappendicular mm.
2 deep posterior axioappendicular mm.
3 scapulohumeral posterior axioappendicular mm.
What are the superficial posterior axioappendicular mm.
traps, lats
What are the deep posterior axioappendicular mm.
levator scapulae and rhomboids
What are the scapulohumeral posterior axioappendicular mm.
deltoid, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, teres major, subscapularis
superficial posterior axioappendicular the traps
attaches pec girdle to the skull and vertebral column and assist in suspending the upper limb
– weakness in the muscle results in drooping shoulders
superficial posterior axioappendicular the lats
inserting tendon twists so fiber originating highest insert lowest
– when paralyzed unable to rise trunk as in chinning
what are the rotator cuff muscles
supraspinatus
infraspinatus
teres minor
subscapularis
what is the rotator cuff m. job
reinforce the capsule of the shoulder joint to prevent dislocation fo the humerus
when does the middle delt start abducting
this will happen after about 30 degree which is when the angle of pull is parallel to the humerus. so the supraspnatus does the earlier stages
why is the teres major a landmark
this is because the axillary a move through the m. and after it does it is called the brachial artery
What is pecoral fascia
invests pectoralis major continuous with abdominal fascia
what is axillary fascia
helps form the floor of the axilla
what is clavipectoral
encloses subclavius and pec minor
what is the costocoracoid membrane
this is part of the clavipectoral
– it occupies the interval between the pec minor and subclavius, and protects the axillary vessels and nerves
