Q

Musculocutaneous nerve innervations of arm

A

Anterior flexor muscles in arm

Becomes cutaneous in forearm

22
Q

Ulnar nerve

A

Medial side of brachial artery…goes behind medial epicondyle…funny bone feeeling
No branches in the arm

23
Q

Radial nerve in arm

A

Extensor compartment of arm

All extensors of forearm as well

24
Q

What is radial nerve accompanied by?

A

Deep brachial artery

25
Q

Fracture in surgical neck of humerous leaves what vulnerable and why?

A

Axillary nerve and posterior humeral circumflex artery

Axillary nerve wraps around surgical neck of humerus

26
Q

Mid-shaft fracture leaves what vulnerable and why?

A

Radial and deep brachial because wrap around humerus in groove for radial nerve

27
Q

Fracture of medial epicondyle leaves what vulnerable and why?

A

Ulnar nerve because it lies posterior to the median epicondyle

28
Q

Fracture of distal end of humerus leaves what vulnerable and why?

A

Median nerve because it lies anterior to distal end of humerus

29
Q

Cubital fossa bound by

A

Epicondyles
Pronator teres
Brachioradialis

30
Q

Bicipital aponeurosis

A

Extension of biceps tendon…roof of cubital fossa

31
Q

What is found in cubital fossa and where relative to bicipital aponeurosis

A

Tendon of biceps
Brachial artery
Median nerve

32
Q

Which vein does bicipital aponeurosis protect?

A

Median cubital vein

33
Q

Components of forearm

A

Posterior and anterior

34
Q

Antebrachial fascia

A

Deep fascia that encloses both compartment muscles

35
Q

What is proximally attached to antebrachial fascia?

A

Forearm muscles

36
Q

What separates forearm posterior and anterior

A

Interosseus membrane holding together radius and ulna

37
Q

Which forearm bone has intermuscular septa and which doesn’t

A

Radius

Ulna is subcutaneous the entire way down

38
Q

Layers of anterior compartment of forearm and how separated?

A

Deep and superficial

Fascial cleft

39
Q

Majority of anterior forearm muscles arise from

A

Medial epicondyle

40

Flexor digitorum profundus
Flexor pollicis longus
Pronator quadratus

43
Q

Innervation of anterior compartment of forearm

A

All innervated by median nerve except for flexor carpi ulnaris and the medial half of flexor carpi digitorum profundus

44
