Shoulder Girdle

        Help!  

Term
Definition
The shoulder girdle is formed by which two bones?   the clavicle and the scapula  
🗑
The girdle is completed in the front by the sternum, which articulates with the:   medial end of the clavicle  
🗑
Because the proximal humerus is included in the shoulder joint, its anatomy is considered with the:   shoulder girdle  
🗑
The clavicle is classified as a long bone. T/F   true  
🗑
The clavicle lies in a horizontal oblique plane just above the:   1st rib and forms the anterior part of the shoulder girdle  
🗑
The lateral aspect of the clavicle is termed the:   acromial extremity, and it articulates with the acromion of the scapula  
🗑
The medial aspect of the clavicle is termed the:   sternal extremity, and it articulates with the manubrium of the sternum and the first costal cartilage  
🗑
The clavicle is more thicker and double curved for which gender?   more for males than females  
🗑
The scapula is classified as a:   flat bone, with a 45-60 degree angle in relation to the anatomic position  
🗑
Triangular is shape, the scapula has:   2 surfaces, 3 borders, 3 angles  
🗑
The 2 surfaces of the scapula are:   anterior: sub-scapular fossa posterior: supraspinous fossa, spine, infraspinous fossa  
🗑
The 3 borders of the scapula are the:   superior, medial, and lateral borders  
🗑
The 3 angles of the scapula are the:   superior, inferior, and lateral angles  
🗑
The superior angle is formed by the:   junction of the superior and medial borders  
🗑
The inferior angle is formed by the:   junction of the medial (vertebral) and lateral borders, and lies over the 7th rib  
🗑
Lying on the superposterior thorax between the 2nd and 7th ribs is the:   medial border of the scapula that runs parallel with the vertebral column.  
🗑
The dorsal surface of the scapula is divided into how many portions?   2 portions by a prominent spinous process  
🗑
The 2 portions of the dorsal surface of the scapula are the:   the supraspinous fossa and the infraspinous fossa  
🗑
The dorsal surface of the medial border affords attachments to which muscles?   the levator muscles of the scapula, the greater rhomboid muscle, and the lesser rhomboid muscle  
🗑
The superior border extends from the:   superior angle to the coracoid process  
🗑
The lateral end has a deep depression called:   the scapular notch  
🗑
The medial border extends from the:   superior to the inferior angles  
🗑
The lateral border extends from the :   glenoid cavity to the inferior angle  
🗑
The lateral angle, the thickest part of the body of the scapula, ends in a shallow, oval depression called:   the glenoid cavity  
🗑
Where can the coracoid process be palpated?   just distal and slightly medial to the acromioclavicular (AC) articulation  
🗑
What are common positioning landmarks for shoulder radiography?   the acromion, coracoid process, superior angle, and inferior angle  
🗑
The proximal end of the humerus consists of:   a head, an anatomic neck, 2 prominent processes called the greater and lesser tubercles, and the surgical neck.  
🗑
Where is the lesser tubercle situated?   on the anterior surface of the bone, immediately below the anatomical neck  
🗑
The tendon of the subscapula muscle inserts at:   the lesser tubercle  
🗑
The superior surface of the greater tubercle slopes posteriorly at an angle of approximately:   25 degrees and has three flattened impressions for muscle insertion  
🗑
What are bursae?   small. synovial fluid-filled sacs that relieve pressure and reduces friction in tissue  
🗑
Where are bursae often found?   between the bones and the skin; and allows skin to move easily when joint is moved  
🗑
One of the largest bursae of the shoulder is the:   subacromial bursa  
🗑
When does the bursae become important radiographically?   when injury or age causes the deposition of calcium  
🗑
The scapulohumeral articulation between the glenoid cavity and the head of the humerus form a:   synovial ball-and-socket joint, allowing movement in all directions  
🗑
The scapulohumeral articulation is often referred to as:   the glenohumeral joint  
🗑
What is the structural classification of the Scapulohumeral?   synovial, ball-and-socket, freely movable  
🗑
What is the structural classification of the Acromioclavicular?   synovial, gliding, freely movable  
🗑
What is the structural classification of the Sternoclavicular?   synovial, double gliding, freely movable  
🗑
Joints of the shoulder girdle:   scapulohumeral, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular  
🗑
The acromioclavicular (AC) between the acromion of the scapula and the acromial extremity of the clavicle forms a:   synovial gliding joint  
🗑
The sternoclavicular (SC) articulation is formed by the sternal extremity of the clavicle with 2 bones:   the manubrium and the 1st rib  
🗑
