This flashcard set delves into the intricate kinesiology of the shoulder girdle, focusing on muscles like the pectoralis minor, serratus anterior, and trapezius, along with their actions, origins, insertions, and innervations. It covers key movements such as rotation, elevation, and depression, and explores joints like the acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular. Ideal for university students studying medical anatomy, this set provides a detailed understanding of shoulder mechanics, benefiting those aiming to master the complex interplay of muscles and bones in the shoulder region.

Anterior Shoulder Girdle: Key Bony Landmarks
Keyboard commands:
= turn,
= for-/backward,
= scroll
- Manubrium
- Clavicle
- Coracoid Process
- Acromion Process
- Glenoid fossa
- Scapula
Posterior Key Bony Landmarks of Shoulder Girdle
Keyboard commands:
= turn,
= for-/backward,
= scroll
- Lateral border
- inferior angle
- medial border
- superior angle
- spine of the scapula
Shoulder Girdle (scapulothoracic) joint
Keyboard commands:
= turn,
= for-/backward,
= scroll
scapula moves on the rib cage
joint motion occurs at sternoclavicular joint & acromioclavicular joint
Scapulothoracic Joint
Keyboard commands:
= turn,
= for-/backward,
= scroll
- not a true synovial joint
- does not have regular synovial features
- supported dynamically by its muscles
- no ligamentous support
Sternoclavicular (SC)
Keyboard commands:
= turn,
= for-/backward,
= scroll
- arthrodial classification
- ligaments
- anterior & posterior SC ligament
- Costoclavicular ligament prevents superior displacement
- the clavicle moves anteriorly 15 degrees with protraction and moves posteriorly 15 degress with retraction
Acromio-clavicular (AC)
Keyboard commands:
= turn,
= for-/backward,
= scroll
- arthrodial classification
- supported by CC & AC ligaments
- often injured
Abduction (protraction)
Keyboard commands:
= turn,
= for-/backward,
= scroll
scapula moves laterally away from spinal column
Transverse plane
Adduction (retraction)
Keyboard commands:
= turn,
= for-/backward,
= scroll
scapula moves medially toward spinal column
tranverse plane
Upward Rotation
Keyboard commands:
= turn,
= for-/backward,
= scroll
- moving glenoid fossa & inferior angle of scapula upwards & outwards
- frontal plane
Downward rotation
Keyboard commands:
= turn,
= for-/backward,
= scroll
returning inferior angle toward spinal column
frontal plane
Elevation
- superior movement
- shrugging shoulder
- frontal plane
Depression
- downward or inferior movement
- fontral plane

- Innervation: Dorsal scapula nerve, branches of C3-5
Rhomboid Major/Minor
- Action:
- Retraction: transverse
- Downward rotation: frontal
- elevation: frontal
- Origin: spinous process of C7&T1-5
- Insertion: medial borderof scapula below spine of scapula
- Innervation: dorsal scapular nerve (C5)
Serratus Anterior
- Action:
- protraction: transverse
- upward rotation: frontal
- Origin: surface lateral ribs 1-9
- Insertion: anterior aspect of medial border of scapula
- Innervation: long thoracic nerve (C5-7)
Pectoralis Minor
- Action:
- protraction- transverse
- downward rotation: frontal
- depression: frontal
- Origin: anterior surface of ribs 3-5
- Insertion: Anterior aspect of whole length of medial border of the scapula
- Innervation: Medial pectoral nerve (c8-T1)
