THE UPPER LIMB
CLAVICLE
,Lateral – convex
Medial – concave
Lateral aspect:
• Conoid tubercle
• Trapezoid line
Conoid ligament
Trapezoid ligament
…make up the coracoclavicular ligament complex.
AXILLA (ARMPIT)
• Anterior wall: pectorial region
o Superficial:
Pec major – forms anteroir fold
Associated deep fasica
o Deep:
Subclavius
Pec minor
Clavipectorial fascia
• Posterior wall: scapular region (front of scapula)
o Subscapularis
o Teres major
o Latissimus tendon – winds round lower border to form posterior fold
,Anterior fold = pec major
Posterior fold = lat dorsi
• Medial wall: serratus anterior (overlying the ribs of the chest wall)
• Base: skin of armpit
• Deltoid drapes over whole shoulder joint – deltoid region
• Boney inlet:
o Medial: rib 1
o Anterior: clavicle
o Posterior: superior scapula to coronoid process
