31
the deep brachial artery and the radial nerve lie in the...
radial groove
32

borders - inferolateral edge of trapezius (lower fibers) - dorsomedial edge of lat - medial border of scapula (or medial edge of rhomboid major)
33
triangle of auscultation - what enlarges this area - enlarging the area causes what to occur
crossing the arm in front of the body enlarges the area as a result, the underlying intercostal spaces 6 and 7 become subcutaneous this allows for a relatively unobstructed access to respiratory sounds
34
what arteries form the anastomotic blood supply to the scapular region and muscles on the anterior body wall
subclavian artery -all bronches axillary artery -continuation of subclavian past first rib
35
subclavian artery - where does it originate? - what are it's 3 parts
origination -right: brachiocephalic trunk -left: aortic arch parts -from origin to medial border of anterior scalene muscle -portion situated behind anterior scalene -from anterior scalene's lateral border to outer border of the 1st rib
36
subclavian artery branches
vertebral artery internal thoracic artery (mammary artery) thyrocervical trunk dorsal scapular artery
37
vertebral artery - function - where is it located after branching from subclavian? - where is it identified?
blood supply to CNS located in the transverse foraminae of cervical vertebrae identified in the floor of the suboccipital triangle
38
internal thoracic artery | -functions
blood to the diaphragm | anastomosis with intercostal arteries
39
thyrocervical trunk - location - branches into...
``` usually from 1st part of the subclavian branches -inferior thyroid artery -suprascapular artery -transverse cervical artery -superficial scapular artery ```
40
dorsal scapular artery - arises from... - may also arise from
arises from the 3rd (sometimes 2nd) part of the subclavian | may also arise from brance of the thyrocervical trunk
41
what is the dorsal scapular artery called if it arises from the thyrocervical trunk
transverse cervical artery
42
axillary artery - lateral extension of... - parts...
lateral extension of subclavian artery past lateral border of 1st rib parts -lateral border of 1st rib to medial boder of pectoralis minor -portion situated posterior to pectoralis minor -pectoralis minor's lateral border to inferior border of teres major (becomes brachial artery)
43
axillary artery main branches
``` troracoacromial artery (trunk) lateral thoracic artery subscapular artery anterior circumflex humeral artery posterior circumflex humeral artery ```
44
thoracoacromial artery (trunk) - location - branches
``` from 2nd part of axillary artery branches -pectoral -acromial -clavicular -deltoid ```
45
lateral thoracic artery | -why is it larger in females?
runs with lateral mammary branches to mammary gland
46
subscapular artery - arises from... - size - branches into ____ via... - continues as _____ after that point
arises from 2nd part of axillary largest branch of axillary branches into circumflex scaplar artery through triangular space continues as thoracodorsal artery

53
lymphatic drainage - location - lymph from UE, back, and anterior surface of thorax and abdomen drain to...
location -parallels venous drainage through the axilla lymph travels down to the umbilicus
54
lymphatic drainage - how are the nodes divided? - how do these nodes drain? - how does this drainage enter the venous system?
divided into groups -brachial (lateral) -subscapular (posterior) -pectoral (anterior) these groups drain into a set of central nodes -central nodes drain through an apical group of nodes drainage enters venous system through thoracic duct
55
lymphatic drainage - constant or variable - pectoral nodes continuous with... - result of blockage of a node or lymph vessel
``` variable -lymph from the breast does not have to enter the anterior group prior to getting into the central or apical group pectoral nerves continuous with -supraclavicular nodes -cervical nodes blockage of node -can alter flow pattern -spread of metastatic cells takes place in this fashion ```
56
nerve supply for shoulder | -formed from
formed from branches of the brachial plexus
57
brachial plexus - organization - innervates which muscles outside of shoulder?
similar to the lumbar and sacral plexuses nerves are formed by a mixing of primary ventral rami of lower cervical and first thoracic spinal nerves innervates -trapezius -sternocleidomastoid -these also receive from spinal accessory nerve
58
why are ventral rami of the brachial plexus involved in trap and SCM innervation?
provide sensory innervation for the purpose of transmitting proprioceptive information about the muscle back to the CNS required since CN 11 does not have a sensory component
59
winged scapula - due to... - results in..
``` due to -damage to long thoracic nerve OR -ventral rami that eventually form long thoracic result -paralysis of serratus anterior ```
60
serratus anterior - function - what happens if it is paralyzed due to long thoracic damage?
function -assists in fixing scapula to thoracic wall -upward rotation result -patient unable to abduct arm above horizontal -patient unable to push with the arm since scapula is limited in superior rotation
61
axillary nerve damage | -leads to...
atrophy of deltoid muscle weakness in shoulder abduction against resistance absence or roundness of shoulder
62
thoracodorsal nerve damage - inability to... - what becomes paralyzed? - how does this lead to the inability
inability to do "chin-ups" paralyzes latissimus dorsi lat extends humerus in a closed chain with humerus fixes (as in during chin-ups), the lat pulls the body towards the humerus
63
rotator cuff - function - what muscles reinforce the superior, posterior, and anterior aspects of the joint?
``` main dynamic stability of glenohumeral joint superior -supraspinatus posterior -teres minor -infraspinatus anterior -subscapularis ```
64
GH joint - what structures provide static stabilization - where is the weakest support dynamically and why?
``` static -ligaments supporting the articular capsule weakest dynamic support -inferiorly -lack of supporting tendons ```
