Anterior and Posterior Components of Arm Flashcards
Action, Origin, Insertion and Innervation
Flexion and supination of forearm
Function of Biceps Brachii
Weakly flexes and adducts arm
Function of Coracobrachialis
Main flexor of forearm
Function of Brachialis
Forearm extension; Long head also assists in arm extension
Function of Triceps
Abducts ulna during pronation of forearm; Assists triceps during forearm extension
Function of Anconeus
Short head- tip of coracoid process Long head- Supraglenoid tubercle of scapula
Origin of Biceps Brachii
Tip of Coracoid
Origin of Coracobrachialis
Distal half of anterior surface of humerus and intermuscular septum
Origin of Brachialis
Long Head- Infraglenoid tubercle of scapula Lateral Head- Posterior surface of humerus above the radial groove Medial Head- Posterior surface of humerus below the radial groove
Origin of Triceps
Posterior aspect of lateral epicondyle
Origin of Anconeus
Tuberosity of radius
Insertion of Biceps Brachii
Middle Third of Medial Border of Humerus
Insertion of Coracobrachialis
Tuberosity of coronoid process
Insertion of Brachialis
Olecranon Process
Insertion of Triceps
