Upper limb Week 8 Flashcards
Which upper limb bones are not long bones
scapula and carpal bones
how does one differentiate between lateral and medial end of the acromion
lateral end is flattened and articulates with acromion
medial end is enlarged and articulates with manubrium sternum
What are the branches of the brachial plexus
axillary nerve
radial nerve
musculocutaneous nerve
ulnar nerve
median nerve
what does musculocutaneous nerve innervate
arm muscles
what does median nerve innervate
forearm muscles
what does ulnar nerve innervate
forearm muscles
what does axillary nerve innervate
arm muscles
what does radial nerve innervate
upper limb posterior muscles
what are the different joints of the upper limb
sternoclavicular joint
acromioclavicular joint
glenohumeral joint
humero-ulnar & humeroradial joint
radiocarpal joint
carpometacarpal joint
metacaropophalangeal joint
proximal and distal interphalangeal joint
What are lymphatics
lymph vessels which carry clear interstitial fluid called “Lymph”
Plays a role in defense mechanism
Lymphatic system provides alternative route for interstitial fluid to return to venous system
What are the muscles of the pectoral region
Pectoralis major
Pectoralis minor
Serratus Anterior
What is the origin of pectoralis major
medial half of clavicle and anterior surface of sternum, 1st - 7th costal cartilages
What is the insertion of pectoralis major
proximal part of humerus (lateral lip of intertubercular groove)
what innervates pectoralis major
medial and lateral pectoral nerves
what is the action of pectoralis major
adduction, medial rotation, flexion of humerus at shoulder joint
What is the origin of pectoralis minor
anterior surfaces of 3rd, 4th, 5th ribs, and deep fascia overlying related intercostal spaces
What is the insertion of pectoralis minor
coracoid process
what innervates pectoralis minor
medial pectoral nerve
what is the action of pectoralis minor
depresses tip of shoulder and protracts scapula
what is the origin point of serratus anterior
external surfaces of lateral parts of 1st - 8th ribs
what is the insertion point of serratus anterior
medial border of scapula
what innervates serratus anterior
long thoracic nerve (c5, c6, c7)
what is the action of serratus anterior
protracts scapula and holds it against thoracic wall, rotates scapula
what are the muscles of the rotator cuff
subscapularis
supraspinatus
infraspinatus
teres minor
