Anatomy Unit 3

Upper Limb and Muscles

QuestionAnswer
Vertebral Column Function: Protection and Support For Trunk
Vertebral Column Structure: (33 Vetrebrae) 7 Cervical, 12 Thoracic, 5 Lumbar, 5 Sacral, 4 Coccygeal
4 Total Curvatures: Primary Curvatures - Thoracic, Sacral Secondary Curvatures - Cervical, Lumbar
C1 = Atlas
C2 = Axis
Ribs & Vertebrae Articulate at Two Places: -Head of the Rib & the Body of the Vertebrae -Tubercle of the Rib & the Transverse Process of the Vertebrae
Ribs (12 Pairs) = True Ribs (Pairs 1-7) - Attach directly to sternum via their own costal cartilage False Ribs - Pairs 8-10 have their costal cartilage attached to costal cartilage of the rib just superior to it. Floating Ribs (Pairs 11 & 12) - No connection to Sternum
Erector Spinae Muscles Action: -Unilateral - Lateral flexion of head and vertebral column - Bilateral - Extend head and vertebral column
Erector Spinae Muscles Innervation: Dorsal rami of spinal nn.
Bones of Pectoral Girdle: Clavicle, Scapula
Bones of Upper Limb: Radius, Ulna, Humerus, Carpals, Metacarpals, Phalanges
Where does the clavicle articulate with the sternum: Jugular Notch
Pectoral Girdle attaches to the axial skeleton at the: Sternoclavicular joint
Sternoclavicular Join: Where the appendicular skeleton attaches to the axial skeleton
Proximal Row of Carpal Bones (L->M) Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform
Distal Row of Carpal Bones (L->M) Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate
4 Joints of the Shoulder Sternoclavicular joint, Acromioclavicular joint, Glenohumeral joint, Scapulothoracic joint
Sternoclavicular Joint Synovial, saddle joint between the sternal end of the clavicle and the sternum. ONLY articulation between upper extremity and the axial skeleton.
Sternum and Clavicle are separated by: articular disc (made of fibrocartilage)
Sternum and Clavicle are held together by: ANTERIOR and POSTERIOR sternoclavicular ligaments (intrinsic ligaments) and supported by the costoclavicular ligament (extrinsic ligament)
Acromioclavicular Joint Synovial, plane joint between the acromial end of the clavicle and the acromion process of the scapula.
Acromial end of clavicle and acromion process of the scapula: held together by the acromioclavicular ligament (intrinsic ligament) and supported by the coracoclavicular ligaments (extrinsic ligaments)
Glenohumeral Joint Synovial, ball and socket joint between the humeral head and the glenoid fossa (cavity) of the scapula
Humeral head and glenoid fossa of scapula: held together by the glenohumeral ligaments (intrinsic ligament) and supported by the coracohumeral ligament and coracoacromial ligament (extrinsic ligament)
Joint Stability in the Shoulder Joint (Glenohumeral): provided by the rotator cuff muscles, and the joint is deepened by the glenoid labrum
Tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii enter where? The joint capsule to attach to the supraglenoid tubercle
Spinal Nerve: a mixed nerve and is formed from the union of a dorsal root (contains afferent or sensory fibers) and a ventral root ( contains efferent or motor fibers)
Spinal Nerves (31 Total) 8 Cervical, 12 Thoracic, 5 Lumbar, 5 Sacral, 1 Coccygeal
C1-C7 Spinal Nerves: These will exit the vertebral canal (via the interverbral foramina) SUPERIOR to the vertebrae for which they are named
C8 Spinal Nerves: These will exit the vertebral canal between C7 and T1.
T1 and Inferior Spinal Nerves: These will exit the vertebral canal INFERIOR to the vertebrae for which they are named
Cervical Plexus: C1-C4
Brachial Plexus: C5-T1
Lumbar Plexus: T12-L4
Sacral Plexus: L4-S4
Intercostal Nerves T1-T12
Musculocutaneous Nerve formed from ventral rami from spinal cord levels C567. Is a DIRECT continuation of the lateral cord. Pierces through the coracobrachialis m.
Musculocutaneous Nerve runs between: biceps brachii m. and brachialis m. and innervates ALL muscles of the anterior arm.
Median Nerve: Formed from ventral rami from spinal cord levels C5-T1. Also formed 1/2 by lateral cord and 1/2 by medial cord.
Medial Nerve enters: forearm by passing through cubital fossa. also runs between the flexor digitorum superficialis m. and flexor digitorum profundus m. in anterior forearm
Meidal Nerve Innervates: all BUT 1 1/2 muscles of the anterior forearm and ONLY 5 intrinsic hand muscles
Ulnar Nerve: formed from ventral rami from spinal cord levels C8-T1 and direct continuation of the medial cord.
Ulnar Nerve Runs: posterior to the medial epicondyle and runs medially within the anterior forearm. Innervates 1 1/2 muscles in anterior forearm and innervates all BUT 5 intrinsic hand muscles
Radial Nerve: formed from ventral rami from spinal cord levels C5-T1 and is the direct continuation of the posterior cord
Radial Nerve Passes and Innervates: Passes posterior to the humerus within the radial groove and innervates ALL muscles of the posterior arm and forearm
Axillary Nerve (C5-C6): Formed from ventral rami from spinal cord levels C5-C6 and branch off the posterior cord.
Axillary Nerve Passes and Innervates: Passes posterior to the humerus around the surgical neck and innervates the deltoid m. and teres minor m.
Upper Brachial Plexus Nerves: Long thoracic n. - formed directly from ventral rami C5-C7 and innervates the serratus anterior m.
Lower Brachial Plexus Nerves: Thoracodorsal n. - branches off the posterior cord; ventral rami from C6-C8. Innervates the latissimus dorsi m.
