18
Q

How many layers does the posterior forearm have?

A

2 layers:

superficial (7)
deep (5)

19
Q

What are the movements associated with the posterior forearm?

A

movement of wrist
extension of fingers and thumb
supination

20
Q

What nerve is associated with the superficial muscles of the posterior forearm?

A

radial n.

C5, 6, 7, 8

21
Q

What are the muscles of the superficial posterior forearm from lateral to medial?

A 
brachioradialis
extensor carpi radialis longus
extensor carpi radialis brevis
extensor digitorum
extensor digiti minimi
extensor carpi ulnaris
anconeus
22
Q

What nerve is associated with the muscles of the deep posterior forearm?

A

posterior interosseus n.

23
Q

What are the muscles of the deep posterior forearm from lateral to medial?

A 
supinator
abductor pollicus longus
extensor pollicus  brevis
extensor pollicus longus
extensor indicis
24
Q

What is the path of the musculocutaneous n.?

A
  1. pierces coracobrachialis and supplies it
  2. continues into biceps (supplies all of this) and brachialis (supplies half of this)
  3. emerges between biceps/brachialis as lateral antebrachial cutaneous n.
  4. supplies skin of lateral forearm
25
Q

What is the path of the median n.?

A
  1. runs down medial aspect of arm lateral to brachial a.
  2. crosses over brachial a. to medial side, enters cubital fossa
  3. runs between flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus
  4. supplies most muscles of anterior forearm
  5. continues under carpal tunnel to supply lateral hand through the palmar branch
26
Q

Why is the palmar branch of the median n. important?

A

If you have carpal tunnel syndrome, your palmar branch is unaffected–maintain sensation in lateral hand

27
Q

What is the path of the ulnar n.?

A
  1. travels posteriorly down medial aspect of arm
  2. runs in cubital tunnel between medial epicondyle and olecranon (funny bone)
  3. dives into medial forearm (with ulnar a.) to supply it
  4. continues over carpal tunnel to supply medial and deep hand
28
Q

What is the path of the radial n.?

A
  1. runs with deep brachial a. in radial groove of humerus (emerges from triangular interval)
  2. continues between brachialis and brachioradialis
  3. supplies all of triceps brachii and lateral brachialis
  4. divides into superficial (skin on back of hand) and deep (posterior mm. of forearm) branches
29
Q

What is the path of the brachial a.?

A
  1. direct continuation of axillary a., becomes brachial at inferior border of teres major
  2. splits into radial and ulnar aa.

(also sends of deep brachial a. before bifurcation)

  1. sends off superior and inferior ulnar collateral aa.
