Describe The Difference Between The Humorous And The Pectoral Girdle

Decent Essays
Overall the shoulder is rather simple, it consists of 3 main bones: the humorous and the pectoral girdle, which is the scapula and clavicle. Attached to the humorous is the head of the humorous which is attached to the glenoid cavity that is part of the pectoral girdle, this is the joint. The head of the humorous provides the large articular surface to connect with the shallow glenoid cavity. The joint is then stabilized by the surrounding muscles and tendons. The humorous is enclosed in tough fibrous, a connective tissue cover called the periosteum, continuous with the ligaments that travel across the shoulder. Periosteum contains blood vessels, these enter the bone and give off branches that go to osteocytes located in lacunae. The long part

    In other words, without the rotator cuff, the humeral head would ride up partially out of the glenoid fossa, lessening the efficiency of the deltoid muscle. The anterior and posterior directions of the glenoid fossa are more susceptible to shear force perturbations as the glenoid fossa is not as deep relative to the superior and inferior directions. The rotator cuff's contributions to concavity compression and stability vary according to their stiffness and the direction of the force they apply upon the…

    MRI of the left shoulder with contrast dated 05/30/2017 showed a complete, full thickness tear with a moderate retraction of approximately 2-2.5 cm within the distal supraspinatus tendon. The remainder of the examination was otherwise unremarkable with no abnormal findings relative to the glenoid labrum or the tendon of the long head of the biceps. A PT note dated 08/11/2017 indicated that the claimant reported left shoulder pain rated at 9/10 at worst. He was diagnosed with a complete rotator cuff tear or rupture of the left shoulder, superior glenoid labrum lesion of the left shoulder, spontaneous rupture of the other tendons of the left shoulder, and impingement syndrome of the left shoulder.…

    The elbow can be split into three major joints including the humeroulnar, humeroradial, and the proximal radioulnar joint. Consisting of a uniaxial hinge joint that helps with forearm rotation. With 2 degrees of freedom allowing flexion to 135 degree, pronation, and supination. These joints mainly rely on ligaments for most of their stability, by the medial and lateral collateral ligaments.(2) Additional stability is presumed by the muscle tendons. The forearm tendons also known as extensors attaching the muscle to bones predominantly involved in this condition include the extensor carpi radialis brevis where it originates at the lateral epicondyle.(7)…

    The muscles that cause rotation of the shoulder include the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and the subscapularis. These muscles are also known as the rotator cuff muscles. 8. When measuring total Range of Motion (ROM) for the glenohumeral joint, it is necessary to stabilize the scapula because the scapula stabilizes the shoulder joint. The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in the body; therefore, the shoulder joint is the most susceptible to injury.…

    The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surrounds the shoulder joint, keeping the humerus bone within the ball and socket of the shoulder. A rotator cuff tear is an injury that can cause a dull ache in the shoulder, which often worsens when trying to overuse the muscles. Rotator cuff injuries often occurs in people who repeatedly perform motions that included using the arm above their heads. They can get these injuries in their jobs, or sports, also the rotator cuff injury also increases with age. People who have rotator cuff tear can recover with physical therapy exercises that improves flexibility and strength of the muscles surround the shoulder joints, including the muscles that were injured.…

    Some bones contain bone marrow whereas others the bones marrow produces blood cells that are vital for the body The bones cells are called osteocytes, these cells are located in the matrix on rings which are known as lamellae, the rings system is called osteone or a haversain system. It is in the osteone where the blood vessels and nerves pass through the hollow centre. The responsibilities of the bones is to allow tendons to attach themselves to them, provide support for soft tissue to defend them from injury, for example the ribs shelter the heart and the lungs to protects them as they play an important role in the body.

    The articular surfaces of the glenohumeral joint are the head of humerus and glenoid fossa of scapula. The humeral head can be in articulation with the glenoid fossa in any position of joint because the head of the humerus is larger than the glenoid fossa. This relationship is best compared with a golf ball siting on a tee, with stability conferred by static and dynamic…

    The appendicular system is joined and/or fused to the axial system and includes all limbs and the connecting joints and bones. Starting from the top of the body, the appendicular system is composed of four bone groupings: the pectoral girdle, the upper limbs, the pelvic girdle, and the lower limbs. The pectoral girdle is formed by the clavicles, the sternum, and the scapulae. There is a cavity in the scapulae called the glenoid fossa by which the humerus of the upper limb joins to the pectoral girdle. The upper limbs are composed of the humerus (upper arm), the radius & ulna (forearm), and the carpals (wrist), metacarpals, and phalanges (thumb & fingers).…

    To understand the Musculo-Skeletal system and how it is suited to the functions that it performs for the body you first need to understand how the system works and what it is responsible for. It is comprised of two separate systems working together as one to provide the body with physical support, the ability to move and protection for its major organs. These two systems are the Skeletal System and the Muscular System and they contain the following:-  Bones of the skeleton  Muscles  Cartilage  Tendons  Ligaments  Joints  Connective tissue binding to the body’s organs If you break the system down into its separate parts you can gain a deeper understanding of how they create a joint working system within the body.…
