  • Front
  • Back

The ___________ is the most superficial muscle of the back.

trapezius

Its inferior portion covers the superior section of the latissimus dorsi.

trapezius

the main retractors/adductors of the scapula

rhomboids (major & minor)

the only muscles on the anterior side of the body that move or stabilize the scapula

Serratus anterior & pectoralis minor

_____________ is known as the “hugging” muscle. Weakness of this muscle can cause “winged scapula”.


Serratus anterior


pectoralis minor syndrome

-compression of the vessels and nerves


-one of the types of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)



the scapulae are protracted (abducted) and depressed and the humeri are medially rotated


Rounded shoulders


Elevates ribs #3 to #5 expanding the ribcage & thoracic cavity = more space for lung expansion. Accessory muscle of respiration.

pectoralis minor

Muscles that move the shoulder girdle stabilize the ___________ & ____________.

scapula & clavicle

The only joint in the pectoral girdle that articulates with the axial skeleton

sternoclavicular joint

Scapula and clavicle are held in place by muscles that originate from ____________

the axial skeleton

_______________ and ____________ entrap the brachial plexus

pectoralis minor & scalenes


neurovascular bundle (including the brachial plexus) passes under the muscle and between the _____________ & _________.

Clavical & ribs


Not a true synovial joint. Where the scapula slides over the ribs/thorax.


Scapulothoracic joint


synovial gliding joint between the acromion and the acromial end of the clavicle.


Acromioclavicular joint


synovial gliding joint between clavicular notch of sternum and sternal end of clavicle.


Sternoclavicular joint


5 muscles that are primarily involved in shoulder girdle movements



trapezius


rhomboids


levator scapula


serratus anterior


pectoralis minor


For some shoulder girdle movements, the scapula must ________________________________.

rotate or tilt on its axis


Scapulohumeral Rhythm

Scapular rotation that accompanies and facilitates humeral abduction.



Helps to achieve further range of movement.


Head of humerus and glenoid fossa/cavity of scapula make up the _____________ joint.

glenohumeral


True or false: The shoulder joint is a synovial ball and socket joint.

True

subacromial & subdeltoid bursitis


inflammation of bursa that separates superior surface of supraspinatus tendon from the coraco-acromial ligament, acromion, coracoid and the deep surface of the deltoid muscle.


winged scapula

the shoulder blade, or shoulder bone, protrudes from a person's back in an abnormal position.
