Question
Answer
What bone is holding the shoulder in place?   The joint between the sternum and clavicle  
🗑
Name the bones of the shoulder   Clavicle, scapula and humerus  
🗑
Where do the rotator cuff muscles start and end   Start on the scapula and end on the humerus. They are intrinsic muscles and have a little more to do with joint stability than the external ones  
🗑
Where is there usually a fracture?   Where the shaft meets the humerus  
🗑
How much of the humerus is in contact with the glenoid?   About 1/3 of the surface. There is fibrocartilage that goes around the glenoid and it is surrounded by a synovial membrane  
🗑
Where does the tendon of the long head of the biceps attach?   Enters the joint space and attaches to the supraglenoid tubercle  
🗑
Name the ligaments part of the intrinsic part of the fibrous joint capsule   Coracohumeral and Glenohumeral  
🗑
Where is the humerus usually fractured?   At the surgical neck.  
🗑
What does the spine of the scapula divide into?   The supraspinous and the infraspinous fossa  
🗑
What type of motion is at the acromio clavicular joint?   Rotational. Allows the scapula to rotate/glide along the thoracic wall  
🗑
True or False: Dirsupting a joint is harder to establish back than a bone   True  
🗑
What should you think of when you think of synovial joint? (Clinically)   Arthritis  
🗑
How can you tell the posterior from anterior surface of the clavicle?   Posterior surface is deepened and anterior surface is smooth  
🗑
What does the costoclavicular ligament do?   Maintains the relationship between the clavicle and 1st rib and determines how fat the clavicle is able to move  
🗑
What type of movement does the glenohumeral joint do?   Flexion and Extension  
🗑
What is abduction and adduction?   Abduction: Moving away from midline. Adduction: Bringing it back to the body  
🗑
How far do the extrinsic muscles go?   From torso to humerus  
🗑
What does the pectoralis major rotate?   The humerus and rotator cuff muscles  
🗑
What does the pectoralis minor stabilize?   The scapula. Pulls scapula down to hold it to chest wall  
🗑
What other muscle holds the scapula against the wall?   Serratus anterior  
🗑
What does the trapezius cranial nerve IV (accessory) do?   Has an antigravity effect. Descending: Elevates scapula. Ascending: Depresses Scapula. Middle: Retracts Scapula  
🗑
What does the latissimus dorsi do?   Innervated by thoracodorsal nerve, it extends the arm and it is going to adduct. It also medially rotates  
🗑
What do the rhomboids do?   Deep scapular nerve innervation. It does scapular retraction, rotates scapula (and glenoid) inferiorly. Holds scapula against chest wall (with serratus anterior).  
🗑
What does the levator scapula do?   Elevates scapula and rotates scapula (and glenoid) inferiorly  
🗑
What does concentric mean? Eccentric?   Coccentric: Everything is contracting. Eccentric: Means it's contracted, but lengthening  
🗑
What does the deltoid do?   Abduction, medial and lateral rotation. Deltoid and Supraspinous both abduct humerus together  
🗑
What does the rotator cuff muscles keep in place?   The humeral head  
🗑
What does the teres major do?   Adduction and medial rotation  
🗑
True or False: As long as you tie off the artery above the circumflex , arteries blood supply should not be disrupted   True  
🗑
What is the teres minor innervated by? Teres major?   Teres Minor: axillary nerve. Teres major: Lower subscapular nerve  
🗑
