what 2 bones does the shoulder girdle consist of
clavicle and scapula
connects each upper limb to the trunk or axial skeleton
clavicle and scapula
long bone work double curvature has three main parts two end and a long center portion
clavicle
articulates with the acromion of the scapula
acromial extremity lateral end
the joint that connects the acromial extremity and acromion is called
acromioclavicular joint
articulates with the manubrium which is the upper part of the sternum
sternal extremity medial end
the joint that connects the sternal extremity and the manubrium is
sternoclavicular joint
elongated portion between the two ends
body
forms the posterior part of the shoulder girdle, flat triangular bone with three borders three angles and two surfaces, shoulder blade
scapula
vertebral border, long edge or border near the vertebrae
medical border
upper most margin of the scapula
superior border
axillary border, border nearest the axilla (armpit)
lateral border
three corners of the triangular scapula are called
angles
head of scapula, thickest part and ends laterally in a shallow depression called the glenoid cavity
lateral angle
the humeral head articulates with the gleoid cavity of the scapula to form
scapulohumeral joint or glenohumeral joint
upper angle of scapula
superior angle
lower angle of scapula
inferior angle
arched for greater strength
body
thin flat lower part of the body also called
blade, wing, ala
long curved process that extend laterally over the head of the humerus
acromion
thick beak like process that projects anteriorly beneath the clavicle
coracoid process
posterior border or ridge of the spine is thickened at the
crest of the spine
the spine of scapula separates the posterior surface into two fossa
the infraspinous and the supraspinous fossa
inferosuperior projection (axiolateral)
lateral view of head and neck of humerus, demonstrates the relationship of the humerus to the glenoid cavity which makes up the scapulohumeral joint
what are the three joints involved in the shoulder girdle
sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, scapulohumeral joint
the three shoulder joints are classified as _____ and are characterized by a fibrous capsule that contain synovial fluid
synovial joints
joint that articulated with head of humerus and glenoid cavity of scapula
scapulohumeral joint
scapulohumeral movement type
spheroidal, ball and socket
movements include from joint flection, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction, and medial and lateral rotation
scapulohumeral joint
articulates with the manubrium or upper portion of the sternum and the cartilage of the first rib
sternoclavicular joint
sternoclavicular joint has what type of movement
double plane or gliding joint, limited amount of gliding joint in all directions
acromial end of the clavicle and the medical aspect of the acromion of the scapula
acromioclavicular joint
what type of movement does the acromioclavicular joint have
plane or gliding movement
gliding action between the end of the clavicle and the acromion
primary movement
gliding action between the end of the clavicle and the acromion
primary movement
movement also occurs as move forward and backward with the clavicle
secondary movement allows the scapula to remain close to posterior chest wall
dislocation of the humeral head may result in compression fracture of the articular surface of the humeral head this is called
hills-sachs defect, demonstrated by external rotation, thumb pointed downward
