neck of scapula (1-15%) - 3What is the upper limb divided into?- Shoulder
- Arm
- Forearm
- Hand - 4What are the significant areas of transition btwn different parts of the limb?- Axilla
- Cubital fossa
- Carpal tunnel - 5What is the axilla and what is its anatomical significance?- Irregular shaped pyramidal area formed by muscles + bones of the shoulder +lateral surface of thoracic wall +armpit forms bottom
- All major structures that pass from neck to arm pass through it
- 6What is the cubital fossa and what is its anatomical significance?- Triangularly shaped depression formed by muscles anterior to the elbow joint
- A major artery (brachial artery) and a major nerve (median nerve) pass through to reach forearm
- 7What is the carpal tunnel and what is its anatomical significance?- Posterior, lateral, and medial walls form arch made up of small carpal bones in the proximal region of the hand.
- Thick band of connective tissue (flexor retinaculum) spans distance btwn each side of the arch + forms anterior wall of tunnel.
- Median nerve + all long flexor tendons passing from forearm to digits of hand pass through carpal tunnel.
- 8What are the movements of the arm at the glenohumeral joint?- flexion
- extension
- Abduction
- Adduction
- Medial rotation (internal rotation)
- Lateral rotation (external rotation)
- Circumduction - 9What are the movements round the elbow joint?- Flexion of the forearm
- Extension of the forearm
- Pronation
- Supination - 10What are the movements round the wrist joint?- Abducted
- Adducted
