Innervation of Serratus anterior

Long thoracic nerve (C5, C6, C7)

100

what is the coccyx?

tailbone

100

what is the medial boundary of the axilla?

serratus anterior

100

segmental injury impacts a _____ patch of skin

large

100

define superficial/intermediate/deep

superficial: closer to surface
deep: further from surface of skin
intermediate: in between

200

Lateral attachment of the Latissimus dorsi

Floor of intertubercular sulcus (groove) of humerus
200

what is the purpose of the dens on the axis (c2)?

articulate with c1

200

what is the axillary sheath?

dense irregular CT that surrounds veins, nerves, and arteries in axilla

200

what are the two types of nerve injuries?

segmental/pre plexus
peripheral/post plexus

200

what is inversion/eversion of the foot?

inversion: inner part of foot turns up
eversion: outer part of foot turns up

300

Proximal attachment of the Pectoralis minor

3rd-5th ribs near their costal cartilages
300

the alignment of the c3-c7 vertebrae limit what movements?

lateral bending and rotation

300

what is the lateral boundary of the axilla?

intertubercular sulcus of humerus

300

what is the dermatome of nerve root c2?

back of head/occipital region

300

What is an example of a motion the bicep brachii does?

elbow flexion or elbow extension (remember to include joint and motion)

400

Superior attachment of the Sternocleidomastoid (SCM)

Lateral surface of mastoid process of temporal bone and lateral half of superior nuchal line

400

what are the 5 regions of the vertebral column and how many vertebrae are in each?

cervical (7), thoracic (12), lumbar (5), sacrum (5), coccygeal (4)
(sacrum and coccyx vertebrae are fused)

400

parts of the brachial plexus can be divided into what 2 parts when it comes to discussing the nerves that break off of it?

supraclavicular part (above clavicle)
infraclavicular part (below clavicle)

400

if the prevertebral layer is damaged this can can result in....

pain down the arm

400

angular/rotary movement between two bones occurring at synovial joints

osteokinematics

500

Main Action of the Pectoralis major

adducts and medially rotates shoulder joint, draws scapula anteriorly and inferiorly

Acting alone, clavicular head flexes shoulder joint and sternocostal head and extends it from the flexed position

500

what is the ALL?

- anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL)

- dense band along anterior and lateral surface of the vertebrae bodies from C2 to sacrum 

500

the anterior and posterior divisions join to form the _____, ______, and ______

lateral, posterior, and medial cords

500

what is thoracic outlet syndrome? what does this cause?

- neurovascular entrapment in the posterior cervical triangle and axillary regions
- this mechanical compression and increased pressure on the neurovascular structure can result in symptoms in UE

500

the inferior angle of the scapula is ____ to the glenoid fossa

inferomedial
