MSK anatomy review

QuestionAnswer
axial skeleton skull, thorax, vertebrae
appendicular skeleton upper and lower extremities
ligaments dense connective tissue joining 2 bones at an articulation; role in static stability; allows motion at joint
muscles organs made up of fibers/bundles (fascicles); contract via myosin/actin filaments to shorten fibers
tendons connective tissue attaching muscles to bones; if in areas of increased motion, usually covered in double-layered tendon sheath
cartilage avascular tissue; hyaline, fibrocartilage, elastic
hyaline most abundant cartilage; found on articulating surfaces of joints
elastic auricle of ear, larynx
fibrocartilage intervertebral discs, symphysis pubis
bursae sacs of synovial fluid in areas of friction (elbow, greater, trochanter, knee, etc.)
glenohumeral joint ball and socket; glenoid fossa of scapula and humerus
acromioclavicular joint acromium of scapula and clavical
sternoclavicular joint clavical and sternum
joint capsule watertight sac surrounding the joint; formed by a large group of ligaments that connect humerus to the glenoid; ligaments are the main source of stability
shoulder ligaments superior, middle, and inferior glenohumeral
coraco-acromial ligament connect coracoid to the acromium
coraco-clavicular ligament includes trapezoid and coronoid; attach clavicle to coracoid process of the scapula
transverse humeral ligament holds tendon of long head of biceps brachii in the intertubercular sulcus
intertubercular sulcus groove between greater and lesser tubercle of humerus
rotator cuff supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor
subscapularis inserts on the lesser tubercle of humerus
supraspinatus inserts on the greater tubercle of the humerus
infraspinatus inserts on the greater tubercle of the humerus
teres minor inserts on the greater tubercle of the humerus
biceps tendon attaches muscle at the coracoid process of the scapula; long head and short head
glenoid labrum fibrocartilaginous rim attaches to the margin of the glenoid cavity; functions to deepen the socket and provide stability; prone to tearing and traumatic injuries
articular capsule fibrous outer layer with inner synovial layer; lax and subject to allowing shoulder to dislocate
subacromial bursa synovial fluid filled sac separates the acromion from the rotator cuff; allows for motion; acts as a cushion
bones of the elbow humerus, radius, ulna
joints of the elbow humeroulnar, radiohumeral, radioulnar
ulnar collateral ligament connects the distal humerus and proximal ulna on the medial side of the elbow
radial collateral ligament connects lateral epicondyle of humerus and annular ligament of the radius
annular ligament attaches trochlear notch, encircles the head of the radius, keeps radial head in contact with notch of ulna
long head of biceps originates at the supraglenoid tubercle of scapula; inserts radial tuberosity of the radius
short head of biceps originates at the coracoid process of the scapula; inserts on the radial tuberosity of the radius
biceps responsible for flexion of the elbow joint
long head of brachioradialis originates lateral suprachondylar ridge on the humerus; inserts on the styloid process of the radius; elbow flexion
brachialis originates on anterior surface of distal half of humerus; inserts on the coronoid process and ulnar tuberosity of the ulna; elbow flexion
long head of triceps originates at infraglenoid tubercle of scapula; inserts olecranon process of the ulna; elbow extension
lateral head of triceps brachii originates posteroir surface of the ulna; inserts olecranon process of ulna; elbow extension
pronator teres originates at medial epicondyle of humerus and coronoid process of ulna; inserts lateral aspect of radius and its midpoint; pronation
pronator quadratus originates at distal 1/4 ulna; inserts at distal 1/4 radius; forearm pronation
supinator originates at lateral epicondyle of humerus and adjacent ulna; inserts anterior surface of proximal radius; elbow supination
anoconeus originates lateral epicondyle of humerus; inserts lateral and inferior to olecranon process of ulna
olecranon bursa thin sac of synovial fluid cushions the olecranon process and helps soft tissue structures glide/move freely
