Arm and Forearm Flashcards
Origin, insertion, actions, blood supply, and innervation of BICEPS BRACHII
origin:
- long head: supraglenoid tubercle
- short head: coracoid process
insertion: radial tuberosity and bicipital aponeurosis
actions: supinates, resists dislocation
blood: brachial artery
innervation: musculocutaneous nerve
Origin, insertion, actions, blood supply, and innervation of CORACOBRACHIALIS
origin: coracoid process
insertion: middle 1/3 of medial humeral surface
actions: flexes and adducts, resists dislocation
blood: brachial artery
innervation: musculocutaneous nerve
Origin, insertion, actions, blood supply, and innervation of BRACHIALIS
origin: distal 1/2 of ant. surface of humerus
insertion: coronoid process and tuberosity of ulna
actions: flexes forearm at elbow
blood: brachial artery
innervation: musculocutaneous nerve and possible radial nerve
What are the extensors in the brachium?
- triceps brachii
- anconeus
Origin, insertion, actions, blood supply, and innervation of ANCONEUS
origin: lateral epicondyle of humerus
insertion: lateral surface of olecranon, sup. surface of ulna
actions: assists triceps in extension of forearm and stabilizes elbow joint, abducts ulna in pronation
blood: deep brachial arterey
innervation: radial nerve
Origin, insertion, actions, blood supply, and innervation of TRICEPS BRACHII
origin:
- long: infraglenoid tubercle
- lateral: post. surface of humerus
- medial: post. surface of humerus, inf. to radial groove
insertions: proximal end of olecranon and fascia
actions: extends forearm, resists dislocation
blood: deep brachial arterey
innervation: radial nerve
What are the boundaries of the cubital fossa???
lateral: brachioradialis
medial: pronator teres
superior: line between medial and lateral epicondyles
roof: skin, superficial and deep fascia, bicipital aponeurosis
floor: supinator and brachialis
What is in the cubital fossa?
- median nerve
- bifurcation of radial and ulnar arteries
- brachial veins
- tendon of biceps brachii and bicipital aponeurosis
- radial nerve
What is the “funny bone?”
ulnar nerve
What are the two cubital anastomoses?
-brachial artery -> ulnar artery
+sup. ulnar collateral -> post. ulnar recurrent
+inf. ulnar collateral -> ant. ulnar recurrent
-deep brachial artery -> radial and interosseous artery
+radial collateral artery -> radial recurrent artery
+middle collateral artery -> interosseous recurrent artery
What is the common flexor and extensor origin?
flexor origin: medial epicondyle
extensor: lateral epicondyle
What is the arterial supply to the arm?
- > from brachial artery
- sup. ulnar collateral
- inf. ulnar collateral
- > from deep brachial artery
- radial collateral
- middle collateral
- > from ulnar artery
- ant. ulnar recurrent
- post. ulnar recurrent
- > from radial artery
- radial recurrent
- > interosseous arteries
- recurrent interosseous
What are the two blood supplies to the anterior hand and what artery supplies each?
- superficial palmar arch -> ulnar artery
- deep palmar arch -> radial artery
superficial palmar arch
ulnar -> superficial -> common digital arteries -> proper palmar digital arteries
deep palmar arch
radial -> ulnar (contributes) -> princeps pollicis artery -> radialis indicis artery
