Anatomy of the Clavicle and Related Structures

Study Notes

The inferior surface of the clavicle has a conoid tubercle, subclavian groove, and trapezoid line.
The costoclavicular ligament connects the clavicle to the first rib.
The acromioclavicular joint is protected by acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments.
The lateral end of the clavicle is called the acromial end.

The levator scapula muscle is innervated by the dorsal scapula nerve.
The rhomboid major muscle's action is adduction of the scapula.
The serratus anterior muscle participates in the formation of the medial wall of the axillary cavity.
The latissimus dorsi muscle inserts into the humerus.

The superior thoracic artery separates from the first part of the axillary artery.
The anterior division of the inferior trunk of the brachial plexus continues as the lateral cord.

The pronator teres is not one of the muscles of the front of the forearm.
The metacarpophalangeal joints are located between the heads of the metacarpal bones and the proximal phalanx of the fingers.
The carpal tunnel is formed in front of the wrist by carpal bones and the flexor retinaculum.
The ulnar nerve does not pass through the carpal tunnel.

The distal end of the humerus forms the condyle and the epicondyle, with the epicondyle being a non-articular part.
The short head of the biceps brachii muscle originates from the coracoid process.
The ulnar artery is located on the medial side of the forearm.
Fingers abduction is performed by the dorsal interossei.
The flexor carpi ulnaris muscle originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus.
The flexor pollicis longus muscle is innervated by the median nerve.
Fingers are counted from the medial side.
The biceps brachii muscle is innervated by the musculocutaneous nerve.
