What joint in the upper limb is not a true joint? What is it really?
the scapulothoracic joint -- really just a fascial plane
What muscles does the retraction of the scapula?
trapezius, rhomboid minor, rhomboid major
What muscles does the protraction of the scapula?
Serratus Anterior
What muscles does the elevation of the scapula?
Levator Scapulae, Trapezius
What does depression of the scapula?
Pectoralis minor, Trapezius
What does inferior rotation of the scapula?
rhomboids, gravity, and arm adductors (latissimis dorsi, teres major, pectorals major)
What does superior rotation of the scapula?
trapezius and serratus anterior
When is rotation of the scapula important?
when you abduct the arm about the shoulder
What are the ligaments on the sternoclavicular joint?
Anterior sternoclaviuclar ligament, posterior sternoclavicuar ligament, interclavicuar igament, costoclavicular ligament
Between what 2 bones is the only true articulation with the upper limb and the trunk?
Between the proximal end of the clavical and the manubrium of the sternum (the sternoclavicular joint
What movements does the sternoclavicular joint limit/
rotation, elevation, depression, protraction, and retraction
What is the purpose of the articular disk?
divides the joint cavity into 2 separate synovial lined cavities due to the bones not really connecting well - increases mobility and acts as shock absorbers
What joint is commonly dislocated in a "shoulder separation?"
The AC joint - acromioclavicular joint
What are the 2 ligaments in the coracoclavicular ligament?
Trapezoid ligament (lateral)and the conoid ligament (medial)
What ligament is part of the joint capsule in the acromioclavicular ligament?
the acromioclavicular ligament
What movements does the AC joint stabilize?
stabilizes movement during superior and inferior rotation of the scapula
What bones are in the acromioclavicular joint?
the distal diarthrodial articulation of clavical with acromion process of scapula
Name all the joints in the shoulder
1. sternoclavicular joint
2. arcromioclavicular
3. glenohumeral joint
What is the most movable and least stable joints in the upper limb?
The glenohumeral joint
Where are the glenohumeral ligaments located?
In the joint capsule of the glenohumeral ligaments
What muscle passes through the joint cavity of the glenohumeral ligament? Why?
long head of the biceps brachii -- to stabilize the joint by not allowing the head of the humerus to be displaced superiorly
Name the rotator cuff muscles
1. Supraspinatus
2. Infraspinatus
3. Teres minor
4. subscapularis
What portion of the glendohumeral going lacks a lot of reinforcement and is most likely place for a dislocation to occur?
The inferior end of the joint capsule
What are the bursa and why are they associated with the glenohumeral joint?
bursa- synovial lined sacs
allow movement of the muscles and tendons over the joint
What are extensions of the synovial joint called?
bursa
What does abduction of the glenohumeral joint?
Deltoid, supraspinatus(initiation) , trapezius (rototes glenoid fossa superiorly)
What dose lateral rotation of the glenohumeral joint?
infraspinatus, teres minor, deltoid
What does flexion of the glenohumeral joint?
Deltoid, coracobrachialis, biceps brachii, pectorlis major
What does extension of of the glenohumeral joint?
Latissimus dorsi, teres major, deltoid, long head of the tricep brachii
What is the function of the glenoid labrum?
its a cartilagenous ring surrounding the glenoid fossa and deepens the fossa -stabilizing the joint
What does adduction at the glenohumeral joint?
Latissimus dorsi
Pectoralis Major
Teres Major
What does Medial roational at the glenohumeral joint?
Subscapularis
Latissimus dorsi
Pectoralis Major
Teres Major
