The supraspinous ligament (also known as the supraspinal ligament) is a ligament extending across the tips of the spinous processes of the vertebra of the vertebral column. Anatomy [ edit ]
The supraspinatus (pl.: supraspinati) is a relatively small muscle of the upper back that runs from the supraspinous fossa superior portion of the scapula (shoulder blade) to the greater tubercle of the humerus.
Supraspinal means above the spine, and may refer to, above the spinal cord and vertebral column: brain; or above the spine of scapula: supraspinatus muscle; supraspinatous fascia; supraspinatous fossa; supraspinous ligament
Supraspinal control of the stretch reflex means the signal travels above the spinal cord before traveling back down to the same segment it entered the spinal cord from. The responses from these pathways are often termed medium or long latency stretch reflexes, because the time course is longer due to distance it needs to travel. [7]
interarticular ligament: intra-within Latin intrā: intramural: ipsi-same Latin ipsi-ipsilateral: irid(o)-of or pertaining to the iris: Latin īrīs, rainbow; from Greek ἶρις (îris), rainbow iridectomy: isch-restriction Greek ἴσχω (ískhō), hold back, restrain ischemia: ischio-of or pertaining to the ischium, the hip-joint
Suprascapular paralysis, causing back pain, problems with abduction and external rotation of the humerus, and wasting away of supraspinatus and infraspinatus.
The serratus posterior superior muscle arises by an aponeurosis from the lower part of the nuchal ligament, from the spinous processes of C7, T1, T2, and sometimes T3, and from the supraspinal ligament. [2] It is inserted, by four fleshy digitations into the upper borders of the second, third, fourth, and fifth ribs past the angle of the rib. [2]
A ligament is a small band of dense, white, fibrous elastic tissue. [6] Ligaments connect the ends of bones together in order to form a joint. Most ligaments limit dislocation, or prevent certain movements that may cause breaks. Since they are only elastic they increasingly lengthen when under pressure. When this occurs the ligament may be ...
