Anatomy Lecture 3 Flashcards
What makes up the cubital fossa?
- brachial artery
- biceps tendon
- median nerve
- radial nerve
- median cubital vein
- medial and lateral cutaneous nerves
Boundaries of cubital fossa?
- superiorly: imaginary line connecting medial and lateral eipcondyles
- medially: pronator teres
- laterally: brachioradialis
- floor: brachial and supinator
- roof: cubital fascia and skin

- forearm
- hand
Flexors tend to originate at the ____ of the humerus
Medial epicondyle
Extensors tend to originate at the ____ of the humerus
Lateral Epicondyle
where do deep flexors originate?
- forearm
- they are shorter
Radius and the ulna are joined by what?
Interosseous membrane
Flexors are supplied by what nerve?
- median
- ulnar (flexor carpi Ulnaris)
Extensors are supplied by what nerve?
Radial
What is the role of the flexor and extensor retinaculum do?
Hold the tendons together like a wrist band
Muscles of the Superficial flexor region
- pronator teres
- flexor carpi radialis
- palmaris longus
- flexor carpi ulnaris
Muscles of the Intermediate flexor region
Flexor digitorum superficialis
Muscles of the deep flexor region
- Flexor digitorm profundus
- flexor pollicis longus
- pronator quadratus
Pronator Teres
Proximal attachment: coronoid process of the ulna
Distal attachment: lateral surface of radius
Innervation: median nerve
Action: pronates forearm
Flexor Carpi Radialis
Proximal attachment: Medial epicondyle of humerus
Distal attachment: base of 2nd and 3rd metacarpals
Innervation: Median nerve
Action: flexion and abduction of hand
Palmaris longus
Proximal attachment: medial epicondyle
Distal attachment: palmar aponeurosis
Innervation: median nerve
Action: hand flexion and tenses palmer aponeurosis
Flexor carpi ulnaris
Proximal attachment: olecranon process
Distal attachement: pisiform, hook of hamate, 5th metacarpal
Innervation: ulnar nerve
action: adduction and flexion of hand at wrist
