Arm and Cubital Fossa Flashcards
what nerve is reffered pain to heart attack
T2 intercostal nerve
Biceps brachii
1) origin insertion
2) action
3) blood
4) nerve
1) long head: infraglenoid tubercle, short head coracoid process and attach radial tuberosity via bicipital aponeuoris
2) supinates forearm, flex forearm while supine
resist dislocation of shoulder (short head)
3) brachial artery
4) musculocutaneous
coracobrachialis
1) coracoid process to humerus
2) flex and adduct arm at shoulder joint and resists shoulder dislocation
3) brachial artery
4) muscuolocutaneous
brachialis
1) humerus to coronoid process and tuberosity of ulna
2) flex forearm at elbow joint
3) brachial artery
4) musculocutaneous and lateral portions may receieve radial nerve contributions
anconeus
1) lateral epicondyle of humerus to lateral surface of olecrancon
2) assists triceps in extension of forearm and stabilize elbow joint. abducts ulna during pronation
3) deep brachial artery
4) radial nerve
Triceps brachii
long head: infraglenoid tubercle lateral and medial had: posteior humerus distal attachment to end of olecranon and fascia of forearm action: extend elbow blood: deep brachial nerve: radial nerve
lateral border cubital fossa
brachioradialis
medial border cubital fossa

superior border cubital fossa
line between medial and lateral epicondyle
roof cubital fossa
skin, fasia, bicipital aponeurosis
floor cubital fossa
supinator and brachialis
contents of cubital fossa
median nerve bifurcation of radial and ulnar arteries brachial veins radial nerve (superficial and deep) tendon of biceps brachii and bicepital aponeurosis
nerve in lateral part of subcutaneous cubital fossa and what muslces is it between
lateral anterbrachial cutaneous nerve (off musculocutaneous nerve) peaks out between biceps brachii and brachialis muscle
what muscle is the muculocutaenous nerve on top of?
brachialis
