Pathway of radial A
Pathway of ulnar A
travels under brachioradialis along with radial N
between two heads of FCU and FDP
Superficial veins in arm? Where does it drain into?
cephalic -> axillary vein
Basilic -> brachial vein
median cubital vein: connect cephalic and basilic
What are 3 nerves supply for antebrachium?
median/ ulnar/radial
Pathwayf of median N?
pass through cubital fossa, travel between 2 heads of pronator teres, travels between FDP and FDS. Emerge just proximal to wrist and enter hands between FDS and flexor retinaculum
Pathway of musculocutaneous
passes through cubital fossa and continues down the antebrachium as LAC
Pathway of Ulnar N
goes around medial epicondyle and travels between 2 heads of FCU to supply it and half of FDP
Pathway of Radial N Proper?
Radial N split into deep and superficial in cubital fossa. Deep pierce supinator and innervate post anterbrachium. Superficial travels under brachioradialis and innervate skins

What does Ulnar N give off?
articular branch
muscular branch
cutaneous (dorsal/ palmar)
Where does median N give off palmar branch?
in antebrachium, proximal to wrist
