27
Attachment sires of pectoralis major
- clavicle, sternum, costal cartilages - lateral lip bicipital groove (humerus)
28
Function of the pectoralis major
- flexion, addiction and medial rotation of arm
29
Attachment site of latissmus dorsi
- spinous process of T7-L2, iliac crest, inferior ribs - floor of the bicipital groove (humerus)
30
Functions of latissimus dorsi
- extend, abduct, medially rotate arm
31
Attachments of the teres major
- inferior angle of scapul - medial lip of the bicipital groove
32
Functions of the teres major
- extend, abduct, medially rotate arm
33
where does the long head of the long head biceps tendon sit?
In the bicipital groove
34
Attachment order of the shoulder muscles on the bicipital groove
A lady between two majors - pectoralis major - latissimus dorsi - teres major
35
The rotator cuff muscles connect the ____, ______ to the humerus
Scapula Clavicle
36
4 rotator cuff muscles
- supraspinatius - infraspinatus - teres minor - subscapularis In order it spells out sits
37
38
What do rotator cuff muscles mostly do? Why are they called cuff?
Rotate the humerus The form a cuff around the hemoral head
39
Main function of the rotator cuff muscles
Holding the hemoral head in the glenoid fossa
40
Rotator cuff muscles form a ____ around the ____ of the _____
Cuff Head Humerus
41
Rotator cuff muscles _____ with joint capsule
Blend
42
GENERAL FUNCTIONS OF ROTATOR CUFF MUSCLES
- dynamic stabilisers - control the position of the humeral head in the glenoid fossa, so the large shoulder muscles can act to move the joint - all rotate the humerus, except supraspinatus
43
Which rotator cuff muscle does not contribute to rotating the humerus
Supraspintus
44
Attachment sites of the rotator cuff muscles
- all attach to the capsule and greater tubercle except for subscapularis which attaches to the lesser
45
46
Specific function of the supraspinatus
Assists with abduction
47
Specific function of infraspintus and teres minor
Laterally rotate humerus
48
Specific function of the subscapularis
Medially rotates the humerus
49
What is the subacromial space ?
A layered arrangement of tissues beneath the coracoacromial arch
50
What is a bursa
Filled with synovial fluid and sits between structures to reduce friction
51
Contents of the subacromial space
- subacromial bursa - supraspinatus tendon (one of the rotator cuff muscles) - capsule - tendon of biceps brachii long head
52
During abduction the structures of the ______ space must glide between the ___________ arch without friction
Subacromial Coracoacromial arch
53
Rotator cuff tendinopathy
- pain and weakness, with elevation of arm - poor understating of the cause of pain - degenerative changes in supraspinatus tendon (tendinosus,tears), with or without distension of the subacromial bursa Cause: altered loading off tendon, increased age, genetics Diagnosed clinically or through imaging Remember tendons and ligaments lack blood vessels (impairs healing)
54
B
55
Medial cubical - the superficial vein that joins the cepallic and basilica veins at the elbow joint

59
What’s in the anterior compartment of the arm - muscles, nerve, vascular
Muscles: biceps brachii, brachialis, coracobrachialis Nerve: musculocutaneous Vascular: brachial artery and vein
60
Key functions of the muscles in the anterior compartment of the arm
Shoulder Flexion - and elbow flexion if crosses
61
What does the posterior compartment of the arm contain - muscle, nerve, vascular
Muscle: triceps Nerve: radial Vascular: deep brachial artery and vein
62
Function of the muscles in the posterior compartment of the arm
- extension
63
Attachment sites of biceps brachii
Long head: supraglenois tubercle (scapula) Short head: coracoid process Radial tuberosity
64
The long head of the biceps brachii passes through the capsule - important stabiliser of the humeral head in the glenoid fossa
65
Function of biceps brachii at the arm and forearm
Flexion at both Super nation at the forearm
66
Biceps brachii tendinopaathy
67
Attachment the brachialis
- anterior surface (distal 2/3) of humerus - coronoid process (ulna)
68
Function of the brachialis
Flexion of the elbow - because its attached to the ulna we know that its not involved in super nation
69
Attachment sites of coracobrachialis
- coracoid process (scapula) - mid-shaft of humerus (medial side)
70
Function of the coracobrachialis
Flexion of the shoulder (Kinda aids abduction)
71
Attachment sires of triceps brachii
Long head: infraglenoid tubercle of scapula Medial head: posterior humerus (below spiral line) Lateral head: posterior humerus (above spiral line Olecranon fossa (ulna)
72
Functions of triceps brachii at the arm and forearm
Extend elbow joint Only the long head crossed the shoulder
73
What is the cubical fossa?
Transition region, from arm to forearm
74
What is the triangular cubical fossa Spence bordered by?
- pronator teres - brachioradialis - epicondyles
75
What contents passes through the cubital fossa?
- biceps brachii - brachial artery - median nerve
76
Blood supply of the anterior compartment of the arm
Brachial artery
77
Features of the brachial artery
- continuation of ancillary artery - runs on medial aspect of arm - decides into radial and ulnar arteries (just below elbow joint)
78
Blood supply of the posterior compartment if the arm
Deep brachial artery
79
Features of the deep brachial artery
- braches from brachial artery - travels with the radial nerve (around the spiral groove)
80
Deep veins of the arm
- brachial and deep brachial veins run alongside the arteries of the same name
81
Superficial veins of the arm
- cephalon and basilic veins - joint at the cubital fossa by the median cubital vein
82
Remember that all nerves also supply the skin (in addition to muscles joints ect)
83
What nerve and blood vessel are likely to be damages with a fracterur to the midshaft of the humerus
- radial nerve
