Arteries of breasts and veins
Frequent development of cancer
Lateral quadrants of the breast
Drain into the anterior axillary or perctoral group of
nodes
Lateral quadrants of the breast
Internal thoracic group of nodes
medial quadrants
clavicle + scapula (articulate at
acromioclavicular joint
Shoulder girdle
long, slender bone that lies horizontally across the root of the neck
Clavicle
Where does the clavicle articulate medially
sternum
1st costal cartilage
Where does the Clavicle articulate with laterally
acromion process of the scapula
Transmits forces from upper limb to axial skeleton
-Provides muscle attachements
clavicle
Flat triangular bone lies on the posterior chest wall
-Between 2nd and 7th ribs
Scapula
surfaces of scapula
the lateral end of the spine which is free
acromion
articulates with the head of the
humerus at shoulder joint
Glenoid Cavity or fossa
projects upward and forward above the
glenoid cavity
Coracoid process
medial to the base of the coracoid
process
Suprascapular notch
the concave shallow area at the anterior
surface
subscapular fossa
Articulates with scapula at the shoulder joint and
radius and ulna at elbow joint
Humerus
forms 1/3 of a sphere and articulates with the
glenoid cavity of the scapula
Head of humerus
immediately below the head of humerus
anatomic neck
below the anatomical neck
Greater and lesser tuberosities
The Greater and lesser tuberosities are separated by the?
Bicipital groove
where the upper end of humerus
joins the shaft
Surgical Neck
roughened elevation at the shaft
Deltoid tuberosity
at the lower end of the humerus
Medial and Lateral epicondyles
