    Study Notes

    Joints Overview

    • Joints serve as unions or junctions between two or more bones, facilitating movement.
    • Rich nerve supply enhances sensitivity and coordination at joints.
    • Notch: An indentation at the edge of a bone, such as the greater sciatic notch.

    Classification of Joints

    • Fibrous Joints: Linked by fibrous tissue, allowing varying degrees of movement depending on the fibers involved.
      • Syndesmosis: Joins bones with sheets of fibrous tissue (ligament or membrane).
      • Gomphosis: Peg-like structures, such as teeth, fit into sockets (dento-alveolar syndesmosis).

    Types of Joints

    • Hip Joint: A ball-and-socket joint providing a wide range of motion.
    • Knee Joint: Hinge joint composed of femoropatellar and two tibiofemoral joints.
    • Tibiofibular Joint: Plane joint, allowing slight movement.

    Muscle Types

    • Striated Cardiac Muscle: Involuntary muscle forming the heart's wall (myocardium) and large vessels, featuring intercalated discs.
    • Smooth Muscle: Involuntary, unstriated muscle found in walls of vessels and hollow organs, facilitating movement via contraction.

    Shapes of Skeletal Muscles

    • Flat Muscles: Parallel fibers and often have an aponeurosis; examples include sartorius and external oblique.
    • Fusiform Muscles: Spindle-shaped with thick bellies; offer a unique structure for contraction.

    Muscle Contractions

    • Reflexive Contraction: Automatic, e.g., diaphragm.
    • Tonic Contraction: Maintains muscle firmness and stability during relaxation.
    • Phasic Contraction: Voluntary and coordinated muscle actions.

    Triangle of Auscultation

    • Area with reduced back musculature located along the medial border of the scapula, useful for listening to lung sounds and adjacent structures.

    Rotator Cuff Muscles

    • A group supporting shoulder stability by reinforcing the joint capsule and holding the humeral head in the glenoid cavity, includes:
      • Supraspinatus
      • Infraspinatus
      • Teres Minor
      • Subscapularis

    Axilla

    • A pyramidal space located under the glenohumeral joint and above the axillary fascia, critical for vascular and nerve supply.
    • Apex: Cervico-axillary canal, a passage between the neck and axilla, bounded by the first rib, clavicle, and scapula's superior edge.
    • Base: Forms the axillary fossa (armpit), bordered by anterior and posterior axillary folds.

    Muscles of the Arm

    • Anterior Arm Muscles (Flexors): Innervated by the musculocutaneous nerve with blood supply from the brachial artery; include:
      • Biceps Brachii: Fusiform muscle with dual heads, involved in flexion and adduction of the arm, stabilizing the glenohumeral joint.
      • Extensor Muscles: Extend fingers and wrist including:
        • Extensor Indicis: Extends the index finger.
        • Extensor Digitorum Communis (EDC): Main extensor of the four medial digits.
        • Extensor Digiti Minimi (EDM): Extends the little finger.
        • Extensor Carpi Ulnaris (ECU): Extends and adducts the wrist.

    Anatomical Snuffbox

    • A fascial space located between extensor pollicis longus (EPL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB), functioning as a landscape to access the radial artery. Floor made up of scaphoid and trapezium bones, important for certain upper limb functions.
