Anatomy Flashcards
What structures are next to the surgical neck of the humerus?
axillary nerve, posterior circumflex artery and vein
Where do you test the dermatome for C5-T1?
C5: anterior shoulder
C6: thumb
C7: middle finger
C8: pinky
T1: antero-medial elbow

A separated shoulder refers to what?
Separation of the acromioclavicular joint
Which fingers does the median nerve innervate?
Digits 1-3.5 (half of the ring finger)
Which muscles do shoulder abduction?
deltoid, supraspinatus
which muscles do shoulder adduction?
latissimus dorsi, pec major
Which muscles do shoulder internal rotation?
subscapularis
Which muscles do shoulder external rotation?
infraspinatus, teres minor
Which muscles do scapular elevation?
trapezius
Which muscles do scapular protraction?
serratus anterior
Which muscles do scapular retraction?
Rhomboids and middle trapezius
Where do the quadracepts and sartorius originate and insert?
Vastus medialis/intermedius/lateralis: originate on femur, inserts in quadracepts tendon (tibial tuberosity)
Rectus femoris: originates below ASIS on hip bone, inserts in quadracepts tendon
Sartorius: orginates at ASIS, inserts in pes anserine (S-G-T)
What is the main structure coursing adjacent to the radial sulcus?
The radial nerve
Which muscles flex the elbow?
biceps brachii, brachialis
Which muscles extend the elbow?
triceps
Which muscles supinate the forearm?
biceps brachii
supinator
Which muscles pronate the forearm?
Pronator teres
Pronator quadratus
Where do biceps and brachialis insert?
Biceps- ulna
Brachilalis- radius

What are the compartments of the arm, their innervation and their blood supply?
Anterior Compartment (flexor of elbow):
- Muscles
- Biceps brachii
- brachialis
- coracobrachialis
- Nerve
- musculocutaneous
- Blood
- brachial artery
Posterior compartment (extensor of elbow)
- Muscles
- triceps
- Nerve
- radial nerve
- Blood
- radial artery
What are the contents of the cubital fossa?
The median nerve, the brachial artery, the biceps tendon, median cubital vein
Sensory distribution of the axillary nerve
skin covering deltoid
What structures pass through the carpal tunnel?
4 tendons of flexor digitorum profunda
4 tendors of flexor digitorum superficialis
tendon from flexor pollicus longus
median nerve
What are the borders of the anatomical snuffbox and what does it contain?
external tendon: extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus
Internal tendon: extensor pollicis longus
containsL radial artery
can palpate scaphoid bone
What are the carpal bones?
Mnemonic: some lovers try positions// that they cannot handle
Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform
Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate
(trapezium rhymes with thumb, so its next to the thumb)
