Q

Biceps brachii INSERTION

A

49
Q

Brachial Fascia

A

Investing deep fascia of the arm,
Extensions of brachial fascia (medial and lateral intermuscular septa) attach to the humerus and divide the arm into anterior and posterior compartments

50
Q

Antebrachial fascia

A

Investing, deep fascia of the forearm

With the interosseous membrane, divides forearm into anterior and posterior compartments

51
Q

Flexor retinaculum

A

Thickening of the antebrachial fascia near the anterior wrist; with underlying bone, forms the carpal tunnel. Tendons of muscles of the anterior forearm as well as the median nerve pass through this compartment.

52
Q

Extensor retinaculum

A

Thickening of antebrachial fascia, near the posterior wrist. Tendons of muscles in the posterior compartment of the forearm pass deep to this retinaculum.

53
Q

Osseofibrous tunnel

A

Carpal tunnel in the upper limb

54
Q

Synovial sheath

A

double layer of synovial membrane in the osseofibrous tunnels that enclose the tendons, deep to the fibrous digital sheaths, and permits the free sliding movement of tendons.

55
Q

Musculocutaneous n. Innervation

A

coracobrachialis, biceps brachii, and brachialis

56
Q

Musculocutaneous n. termination

A

becomes the lateral cutaneous n. of the forearm and supplies skin on lateral side of forearm

57
Q

Radial n. innervation

A

triceps brachii, motor innervation to the posterior component of the forearm (posterior interosseus n.)

58
Q

Radial n. termination

A

Superficial branch - cutaneous innervation of the hand, courses in anterior compartment of the forearm
Deep branch - motor innervation of posterior forearm, becomes posterior interosseus n.

59
Q

Median n. path and innervation

A

courses with brachial artery, and along midline of forearm deep to pronator teres and FDS. Crosses wrist medial to FCR tendon and deep to palmaris longus, enters hand deep to flexor retinaculum (Through the carpal tunnel).
*Innervates nothing in arm, but all of the anterior forearm except FCU and 1/2 FDP

60
Q

Median n. termination

A

gives off anterior interosseus n. which courses with the anterior interosseus a. (branch of the common interosseus a.) and innervates the deep flexor muscles of the forearm.

61
Q

Ulnar n. path and innervation

A

courses down medial humerus with brachial a. and medial n., pierces medial septum of the arm, passes posterior to medial epicondyle (susceptible to injury).

  • runs down forearm deep to flexor carpi ulnaris and crosses wrist just lateral to its tendon and pisiform bone. Enter superficial to flexor retinaculum
  • innervates nothing in the arm, FCU and half of FDP
62
Q

Medial brachial cutaneous n.

A

branch of medial cord - supplies skin on the medial and anterior side of the arm

63
Q

Medial antebrachial cutaneous n.

A

a branch of the medial cord - supplies skin on the medial and anterior side of the forearm
