Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

3.9K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

7.9K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

2.2K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

6.0K
The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...

Knee Joint01:23

Knee Joint

2.7K
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

Muscle Coordination and Action01:24

Muscle Coordination and Action

2.5K
Muscle coordination is a complex and finely tuned process essential for smooth and purposeful movements like flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and rotation. The human body orchestrates the actions of various muscles working in concert, each with a specific role. Four functional types describe how muscles work together: agonist, antagonist, synergist, and fixator.
Agonists
Agonist muscles, often called prime movers, are the primary muscles responsible for producing a specific movement....

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Orthopedics
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • The deltoid ligament originates from the medial malleolus.
  • The spring ligament complex connects the navicular bone to the calcaneus.
  • These ligaments are vital for medial ankle and foot stabilization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of understanding the interconnected anatomy of the deltoid and spring ligament complex.

  • Focus on interconnectedness and functional roles.

Main Results:

  • The deltoid and spring ligaments are interconnected structures.
  • Joint study of their anatomy provides a more comprehensive understanding.
  • Knowledge of their combined anatomy is essential for effective treatment.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive understanding of the deltoid and spring ligament complex anatomy is critical for treating foot and ankle deformities.
  • Integrated study of these ligaments improves anatomical knowledge and clinical application.
