Study Notes

Shoulder Muscles and Movements

Medial rotation of the shoulder in supine position is primarily controlled by the Subscapularis muscle.
To test lateral rotation, the arm should be hanging off the bed at a 90-degree angle.
The short head of the biceps brachii muscle originates from the coracoid process of the scapula.
Lateral rotation of the shoulder joint is facilitated by the Infraspinatus and Teres Minor muscles.
The long head of the triceps brachii muscle attaches to the infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula.
The biceps brachii muscle is responsible for both forearm flexion and supination.
The Pectoralis Major muscle is responsible for flexion and adduction, particularly horizontal adduction.

Testing and Muscle Attachments

When testing the muscle that contracts on the proximal medial side of the humerus, the arm should be positioned at 90 degrees of abduction.
The lateral head of the triceps brachii muscle inserts into the olecranon process of the ulna.
The Anconeus muscle originates from the olecranon process and posterior border of the ulna.
The Brachialis muscle assists in weak flexion of the forearm and flexion, abduction (radial deviation) of the hand.
The middle head of the triceps brachii originates from the posterior surface of the humerus.
The Brachioradialis muscle inserts at the styloid process of the radius.
The Flexor Digitorum Superficialis muscle performs flexion of the fingers at the proximal interphalangeal joints.

Forearm and Hand Muscles

The Extensor Digitorum muscle extends the fingers at the metacarpophalangeal joints.
The Supinator muscle is not part of the mobile wad of three in the forearm.
In the prone position, the leg muscles perform plantar flexion of the foot and flexion of the leg.
The Palmaris Longus muscle originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus.
The primary action of the Flexor Carpi Radialis muscle is to flex and abduct the wrist.

Joint Ligaments and Movements

Ligaments that provide stability in shoulder movement include the Glenohumeral and Coracohumeral ligaments.
The elbow joint primarily facilitates flexion and extension.
The first carpometacarpal joint allows 2 degrees of movement (flexion/extension and abduction/adduction).
The glenohumeral ligaments stabilize the shoulder during protraction/retraction.

Muscle Innervations and Functions

The Serratus Anterior muscle is innervated by the Long Thoracic nerve (C5-C7).
The Deltoid muscle's primary function is to abduct the arm.
The Latissimus Dorsi muscle is innervated by the Thoracodorsal nerve.
The Pectoralis Major muscle inserts into the intertubercular groove of the humerus.

Other Key Muscles and Movements

Lateral flexion of the head and neck is primarily performed by the Sternocleidomastoid and Scalenes.
During forced inspiration, the scalenes elevate the first and second ribs.
The Longissimus muscle inserts into the transverse processes of the vertebrae and ribs.
The Gluteus Medius muscle primarily functions to abduct and stabilize the hip.
The ITB (Iliotibial Band) muscle attaches at the lateral condyle of the tibia.

Lower Limb Muscles

The action of the Semitendinosus muscle includes hip extension and knee flexion.
The Biceps Femoris muscle is innervated by the Sciatic nerve.
The primary action of the Sartorius muscle is hip flexion and external rotation.
The Rectus Femoris muscle inserts into the patellar tendon.
The Adductor muscles are innervated by the Obturator nerve.

Ligament Support and Joint Movement

Ligaments that stabilize the shoulder allow for 3 degrees of movement are the Glenohumeral and Coracohumeral ligaments.
The Flexor carpi ulnaris muscle inserts at the pisiform and hook of the hamate.
The Dorsal Interossei muscles primarily function in abduction and assist in flexion at the metacarpophalangeal joints.

Hand and Wrist Movement

The Abductor Pollicis Longus muscle originates from the posterior surface of the radius and ulna.
The primary function of the Tensor Fascia Lata muscle is to assist in hip flexion and stabilization of the pelvis.
The primary action of the Soleus muscle is to perform plantar flexion of the foot.
