Study Notes
Anatomy of the Musculoskeletal System - Upper Limb
- The upper limb comprises four segments: shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand.
- Objectives for the lecture include identifying upper limb bones and landmarks, understanding brachial plexus formation and major nerves in the upper limb, describing major arteries and veins, classifying and discussing synovial joint structures, describing joint movements, and outlining pectoral and scapulohumeral muscles, their attachments, nerve supply, and actions.
Bones of the Upper Limb
- Most upper limb bones are long bones except the scapula and carpal bones.
- The scapula is a flat bone.
- Carpals are short bones.
- The clavicle is a modified long bone.
- Bone marrow is found within the bone shaft.
Scapula
- The scapula has several important features including the acromion, glenoid cavity, coracoid process, suprascapular notch, and various fossae (supraspinous, infraspinous, and subscapular).
Humerus
- The humerus has a head, anatomical neck, surgical neck, greater and lesser tubercles, and the intertubercular groove. It also features the radial groove, deltoid tuberosity, and various fossae (coronoid, radial, olecranon).
Upper Limb Nerves
- The brachial plexus has three trunks, each further branching into three anterior divisions and three posterior divisions. These combine to form five main terminal branches.
- Key nerves include axillary, radial, musculocutaneous, ulnar, and median nerves.
Upper Limb Blood Vessels
- The subclavian artery is the primary vessel supplying the upper limb. Note the axillary artery, brachial artery, radial artery, and ulnar artery.
- These arteries have branching patterns within the upper limb, providing blood flow to muscles, skin, and other tissues. The superficial and deep palmar arches also contribute to blood supply
- Superficial veins (cephalic, basilic, median cubital, palmar venous arch, and digital veins) drain the upper limb. Deep veins run along with arteries, draining muscles and bone.
Synovial Joints
- Synovial joints are freely movable.
- They consist of a capsule and synovial fluid.
- Examples include the shoulder and knee joints.
- Cartilaginous joints involve cartilaginous connections between bones. Ex. Intervertebral discs.
- Fibrous joints include Sutures
- Key features of synovial joints include articular cartilage, synovial cavity, synovial fluid, synovial membrane and capsule
Joints of the Upper Limb
- Important joints include sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, glenohumeral (shoulder), humeroulnar, humeroradial, radiocarpal (wrist), carpometacarpal, and interphalangeal joints.
Muscles of the Upper Limb
- Pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, and serratus anterior are three pectoral muscles.
- Their origin and insertion points on the upper torso and shoulder/arm, and the action of each muscle.
- Other muscles include scapulohumeral muscles, deltoid and trapezius. Deep and superficial muscle arrangements should be recognized.
Lymphatic Drainage
- Lymph vessels transport lymph.
- Lymph vessels play a role in eliminating fluid that collects between cells or tissues.
- Lymph nodes serve as collection points for lymph, assisting in maintaining fluid balance and playing a role in immune responses.
Applied Anatomy
- Dislocations, rotator cuff injuries, and frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) are discussed.
- Recognition of the structures affected during specific injuries is critical.
Key Bones and Muscles
- Specific structures of the clavicle, scapula, and humerus are described, emphasizing their anatomical landmarks.
- Specific pectoral and scapulohumeral muscles and detailed anatomical descriptions are discussed.
