100

This S-shaped bone articulates with the sternum and scapula.

What is the clavicle?

100

This movement of the shoulder joint brings the arm forward and upward.

What is Flexion?

100

This muscle is part of the rotator cuff and initiates abduction of the humerus.

What is supraspinatus?

100

This movement of the scapula involves moving it upward.

What is elevation?

100

This protective layer covers the spinal cord and is the outermost meninge.

What is the Dura Mater?

200

This triangular bone provides attachment points for muscles and has a spine.

What is the scapula?

200

This movement involves moving the arm away from the side of the body.

What is abduction?

200

This muscle is a powerful adductor of the humerus and passes from the trunk to the humerus.

What is pectoralis major?

200

This movement of the scapula involves moving it forward around the trunk.

What is protraction?

200

The space between the arachnoid and pia mater filled with cerebrospinal fluid is called this.

What is the Sub Arachnoid Space?

300

This bone articulates with the scapula at the glenohumeral joint.

What is the humerus?

300

This structure permits movement at the shoulder joint but does not hold the bones together.

What is the joint capsule?

300

This muscle surrounds the shoulder joint and is responsible for flexion, extension, and abduction.

What is the deltoid?

300

This muscle helps in protraction and upward rotation of the scapula.

What is serratus anterior?

300

These roots of the spinal nerves are responsible for sensory input.

What are Dorsal Roots?

400

The glenoid fossa is a part of this bone.

What is the scapula?

400

This type of rotation moves the front of the arm towards the body.

What is internal rotation?

400

These muscles produce external rotation of the humerus and are part of the rotator cuff.

What are infraspinatus and teres minor?

400

This movement is the opposite of elevation.

What is depression?

400

These roots of the spinal nerves are responsible for motor output.

What are ventral roots?

500

The acromion is a projection on this bone.

What is the scapula?


500

This type of rotation moves the front of the arm away from the body.

What is external rotation?

500

This muscle produces internal rotation of the humerus and is located on the anterior aspect of the scapula.

What is subscapularis?

500

Sharing a name with a geometric figure this muscle on the back helps retract the scapula.

What is the trapezius?

500

This structure is formed by a leash of lumbar and sacral nerve roots below the end of the spinal cord.

What is the Cauda Equina?
