Deep Fascia of Arm: deep fascia of arm = \_\_\_\_\_ connects to \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ by 2 fascial septa divides arm into \_\_\_\_\_ and \_\_\_\_ compartments clinically relevant to \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
brachial fascia
humerus
anterior and posterior
compartmental sundromes
Anterior Compartment of Arm: contains \_\_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ contains \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and 5 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ --3 motor nn= \_\_\_, \_\_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_\_ --2 cutaneous nn= \_\_\_\_ and \_\_\_\_\_
biceps brachii, coracobrachialis, brachialis mm
brachial vessels and brachial plexus nn
motor= musculocutaneous, median, and ulnar
cutaneous= medial brachial and medial antibrachial cutaneous nn ( skin of medial arm and forearm )
