Cards

Term
head
Definition
rounded proximal portion; covered with articular cartilage, fits into glenoid fossa of scapula
Term
anatomical neck
Definition
roughened edge of the head, marked by the edge of the articular cartilage covering the head
Term
surgical neck
Definition
tapered part of humerus beneath anatomical neck which becomes the shaft
Term
greater tubercle
Definition
thicken on upper lateral side
Term
lesser tubercle
Definition
smaller thickening on upper medial side
Term
intertubercular (bicepital) groove
Definition
groove between lesser and greater tubercles
Term
deltoid tuberosity
Definition
rougheing on lateral side, approx half way down from head
Term
shaft
Definition
body
Term
medial epicondyle
Definition
rounded projection at distal end/medial side
Term
lateral epicondyle
Definition
rounded projection at distal end/lateral side
Term
trochlea
Definition
pulley shape medial/distal end of humerus; accepts trochlea of the ulna
Term
capitulum
Definition
smooth rounded lateral/distal end of humerus; accepts head of radius
Term
coronoid fossa
Definition
depression above trochlea to accept coronoid process of ulna
Term
radial fossa
Definition
depression above capitulum to accept head of radius
Term
olecranon fossa
Definition
depression above posterior side to accept olecranon of ulna
Term
glenohumeral (intrinsic) ligament
Definition
anterior thickening of the joint capsule from just proximal to the rim of the glenoid fossa to just distal to the anatomical neck of the humerus
Term
Coracohumeral (intrinsic) ligament
Definition
superior thickening of the joint capsule
Term
Coracoacromial (extrinsic) ligament
Definition
ligament that joins the acromion with the coracoid process. It, along with the acromion, helps to form a "second" roof to the glenohumeral joint
Term
transverse (intrinsic) ligament
Definition
thickened anterior portion of the capsule that bridges the bicipital groove; it keeps the tendon of the long head of the biceps muscle in the groove
Term
Labrum (glenoid)
Definition
a cartilaginous ring positioned in the glenoid fossa in which the cartilage edge comes out past the margin of the fossa, helping to deepen the fossa for the head of the humerus
Term
Two bursa pads found in shoulder
Definition
subacromial and subscapular
Term
location of subacromial bursa
Definition
found under the acromion
Term
function of the subacromial bursa pad
Definition
protect tendon of supraspinatus muscle and continues to laterally protect deltoid muscle
Term
location of subscapular bursa
Definition
between the tendon of the subscapularis muscle and the fibrous capsule of the glenohumeral joint
Term
function of the subscapular bursa
Definition
protect the tendon between subscapularis muscle and fibrous capsule of glenohumeral joint
Term
movement of the _____ and _____ help accompany the abduction and adduction movement of the humerus
Definition
scapula and clavicle
Term
after about ___ degrees of shoulder abduction, the _____ (bone) and ____ (bone) at the _____________ jont move
Definition
90, sternum and clavical, sternoclavicular
Term
the ______ (bone) pivots around the sternoclavicular joint while the _______ (bone) elevates and ____________ (direction of movement) during any +90 degree ________ (movement) of the humerus
Definition
clavical, scapula, upwardly rotates, abduction
