Anterior and Posterior Arm Flashcards

1
Q

Coracobrachialis

A

O: coracoid process
I: humerus, in line with lesser tuberosity
A: flexion, adduction, internal rotation of the arm
Innervation: musculocutaneous nerve
Arterial Supply: brachial artery

Clinical: lesion of musculocut nerve –> compression of muscle –> weakness in flexion
