Term
Adduction
Definition
What is the anatomical term for the gliding movement in which the scapula moves TOWARD the vertebral column?
Term
Abduction
Definition
What is the anatomical term for the gliding movement in which the scapula moves AWAY from the vertebral column?
Term
Lateral or upward rotation
Definition
What is the anatomical term for the movement about a sagittal axis in which the inferior angle moves laterally and the glenoid fossa moves cranially?
Term
Medial or downward rotation
Definition
What is the anatomical term for the movement about a sagittal axis in which the inferior angle moves medially and the glenoid fossa moves caudally?
Term
Anterior tilt
Definition
What is the anatomical term for the movement about a coronal axis in which the coracoid process moves in an anterior and caudal direction while the inferior angle moves in a posterior and cranial direction?
(The coracoid process may be depressed anteriorly. This movement is associated with elevation and protraction of the shoulder girdle.)
Term
Elevation
Definition
What is the anatomical term for the gliding movement in which the scapula moves CRANIALLY (as in shrugging the shoulder)?
Term
Depression
Definition
What is the anatomical term for the gliding movement in which the scapula moves CAUDALLY?
Term
Thick, fibrous, fatty layer of connective tissue deep to the skin;
It extends from the scalp to the gluteal region
Definition
What is the superficial fascia and where does it lie?
Term
The deep or investing fascia
Definition
What encloses all of the structures deep to the superficial fascia?
Term
It is anchored medially with attachments to the spinous process of the sacrum, lumbar, thoracic, and lower cervical vertebrae and continues laterally and anteriorly as the fascia over the muscles of the abdominal wall.
Definition
Where does the deep or investing fascia anchor?
Term
Thoracolumbar fascia
Definition
What is the name of the dense deep fascia in the lower back region?
Term
A broad sheet of connective tissue
Definition
What is an aponeurosis?
Term
The axial skeleton
Definition
In general, where do the superficial muscles of the back originate?
Term
Either the pectoral girdle or the humerus
Definition
In general, where do the superficial muscles of the back insert?
Term
They primarily facilitate upper limb movement
Definition
In general, what do the superficial muscles of the back do?
Term
The ventral primary rami of spinal nerves or cranial nerve XI (the accessory nerve)
Definition
In general, what innervates the superficial muscles of the back?
Term
Trapezius,
Latissimus dorsi,
Levator scapulae,
and the Rhomboideous major and minor
Definition
What are the superficial muscles of the back?
Term
Branches of the subclavian artery
Definition
In general, what arteries supply the superficial muscles of the back?
Term
Dorsal primary ramus of C1;
It innervates the suboccipital muscles (the suboccipital triangle)
Definition
What is the suboccipital nerve and what does it innervate?
Term
A branch of the dorsal primary ramus of C2;
It supplies cutaneous sensation to the scalp over the occipital bone
Definition
What is the greater occipital nerve and what does it innervate?
Term
Branches of the dorsal primary rami of L1, L2, and L3;
It supplies cutaneous sensation to the skin over the buttocks
Definition
What are the superior cluneal nerves and what do they innervate?
Term
The greater occipital nerve
Definition
What is the name for the dorsal ramus that is the terminal part of the second cervical nerve (C2)?
Term
Pure motor
Definition
Is the suboccipital nerve (C1) pure motor, pure sensory, or both?
