In which position of the shoulder is the greater tubercle seen superimposed on the humeral head quizlet?

How is the greater tubercle visualized on a lateral image of the humerus quizlet?

External rotation is evident by greater tubercle visualized in full profile on the lateral aspect of humerus. Lesser tubercle is superimposed over humeral head. Internal rotation is evident by lesser tubercle visualized in full profile on the medial aspect of humerus. Greater tubercle is superimposed over humeral head.

In which position of the shoulder is the lesser tubercle demonstrated in profile on the medial aspect of the humeral head quizlet?

In the AP projection of the shoulder the lesser tubercle is in profile medially, when the humerus is in internal rotation.

Which projection of the shoulder best demonstrates the humeral head in profile?

osterology, arthrology, and position of the shoulder girdle.

In which position of the shoulder is the lesser tubercle demonstrated in profile on the medial aspect of the humeral head?

In anatomic position, the lesser tubercle lies on the anterior surface of the humerus between the head and the greater tubercle. When the humerus is rotated into internal rotation for shoulder images, the lesser tubercle rolls medially and is visible in profile near the glenoid.
