Q

What are the components of the radial collateral ligament and where does it attach?

A

Attaches from lateral epicondyle of humerus to radial notch and angular ligament.

Weaker than ulnar collateral ligament but provides posterolateral stability.

Q

What are the components of the angular ligament and where does it attach?

A

It surrounds the radial head and radial notch of the ulna.

Keeps the radial head in the radial notch; allows pronation and supination.

Q

Insertion of biceps brachii

A

Radial tuberosity

17
Q

Attachments of Brachialis

A

Proximal: middle anterior surface of humerus
Distal: coronoid process and tuberosity of ulna

18
Q

Attachments of Coracobrachialis

A

Proximal: tip of the coracoid process of the scapula
Distal: middle medial surface of humerus

19
Q

Biceps brachii function

A

Flexes forearm at elbow; flexes supinated forearm

20
Q

Brachioradialis main action

A

Flexes forearm at elbow in any position

21
Q

Coracobrachialis function

A

Helps flex and abduct arm at shoulder

22
Q

Proximal attachment of triceps brachii

A

Long head: infraglenoid tubercle of scapula

Medial and lateral heads: posterior surface of humerus

23
Q

Distal attachment of triceps brachii

A

Posterior surface of olecranon of ulna

24
Q

Main actions of triceps brachii

A

Main extensor of the the elbow; steadies the head of abducted humerus

25
Q

Main actions of anconeus

A

Assists triceps in extension; abducts ulna during pronation

26
Q

Aconeus attachments

A

Proximal: lateral epicondyle of humerus

Distal: lateral surface of olecranon and superior part of posterior surface of ulna

27
Q

Two articular parts of the condyle

A
  1. Capitulum: articulates with radius

2. Throchlea: articulates with ulna

28
Q

Brachial artery (4 characteristics)

A

Continuation of axillary artery

Divides into radial and ulnar arteries

In proximal arm: lies on medial side

In distal arm: lies on lateral side

29
Q

Median nerve (3 characteristics)

A

Passes down medial side of the arm

Proximal region: lateral to brachial artery
Distal region: medial to brachial artery

30
Q

Ulnar nerve (trajectory)

A

Enters arm with median nerve and axillary artery, passing medial to the artery.

Passes posterior to medial epicondyle of humerus and then to anterior compartment of the forearm.

31
Q

What is the cubital fossa?

A

Triangular depression between brachioradialis and pronator teres.
