Arm and Flexor Region of Forearm Flashcards
Serratus anterior (attachment)
Lateral surface of ribs AND Medial border of scapula
Serratus anterior (innervation)
Long thoracic nerve (C5-C7)
Serratus anterior (action)
Protracts scapulae, stabilizes scapula against thoracic wall, Rotates scapula superiorly
Subscapularis (attachment)
Subscapular fossa AND Lesser tubercle of humerus
Subscapularis (innervation)
Upper and Lower Subscapular nerves (C5-C6)
Subscapularis (action)
Medially rotates arm AND as part of rotator cuff: holds humeral head in glenoid cavity
Coracobrachialis (attachment)
Coracoid process of scapula AND medial surface of humerus
Coracobrachialis (innervation)
Musculocutaneous nerve (C5-C7)
Coracobrachialis (action)
Flexes and adducts arm AND resists inferior displacement of humeral head
Brachialis (attachment)
Anterior surface of humerus AND Coronoid process and tuberosity of ulna
Brachialis (innervation)
Musculocutaneous nerves (C5-C6) and radial nerve (C5-C7)
Brachialis (action)
Flexes forearm
Biceps brachii (attachment)
Short head: Coracoid process of scapula AND tuberosity of radius, bicipital groove to fascia of forearm
Long head: Supraglenoid tubercle of scapula AND tuberosity of radius, bicipital groove to fascia of forearm
Biceps brachii (innervation)
Musculocutaneous nerve (C5-C7)
Biceps brachii (action)
Supinates forearm, Flexes forearm when supinated
*short head also resists inferior displacement of humeral head
Anconeus (attachment)
Lateral epicondyle of humerus AND olecranon process of ulna, posterior surface of ulna
Anconeus (innervation)
Radial nerve (C7-T1)
Anconeus (action)
Extends forearm
