Back
Superficial back muscle that has 3 different fibers and aids in movement of the scapula
What is the trapezius?
Not a true joint, however helps increase ROM at the shoulder
What is the scapulothoracic joint?
This rotator cuff muscle does not aid with actual rotation of the shoulder.
What is the supraspinatus muscle?
Damage to this nerve and muscle lead to clinical presentation of a winged scapula.
What are the long thoracic nerve and serratus anterior muscle?
This is the name of the space where you find chondrocytes.
What are lacunae?
Two intermediate extrinsic back muscles that work as superficial respiratory muscles.
This joint is the only articulation between the upper limb and axial skeleton
What is the sternoclavicular joint?
This nerve innervates the latissimus dorsi. 100 bonus points if you can give both names.
What is the thoracodorsal nerve OR middle subscapular nerve?
This nerve gives sensation to your medial arm.
What is the medial brachial cutaneous nerve?
This movable connection is the type of joint that connects bone to bone.
What is a synovial joint?
Three deep intrinsic back muscles that make up the erector spinae muscle group
What are iliocostalis, longissimus, and spinalis muscles?
This nerve may be injured due to glenohumeral joint damage
What is the axillary nerve?
This rotator cuff muscle does not insert at the greater tubercle of the humerus
What is the subscapularis muscle?
This branch of the 2nd part of the axillary artery is a short trunk that divides into 4 small branches. An ADDITIONAL 300 points if you can name ALL 4 branches.
What is the thoracoacromial artery? What are the clavicular, acromial, deltoid, and pectoral branches?
This type of bone cell works to increase bone resorption.
What are osteoclasts?
Nerves that innervate the levator scapulae muscle
What are dorsal scapular (C5) and cervical (C3 and C4) nerves?
Sprain of this joint is tested by performing the piano key sign test
This structure would be damaged if the superior transverse scapular ligament was crushed (downwards).
What is the suprascapular nerve?
This portion of the brachial plexus is targeted by supraclavicular blocks.
What are the trunks?
These structures, found in compact bone, connect Haversian canals and pass through the lamellae
What are Volkman's canals?
What is the splenius cervicis?
This ligament provides power to the acromioclavicular joint
This anatomical space of the shoulder houses the nerve that, if damaged, could lead to deltoid atrophy.
What is the quadrangular space?
Three typical presentations associated with injury to C5 and C6 nerve roots.
Activity of this structure leads to growth in length of bone.
