Arm, Forearm Flashcards
What inserts to the radial tuberosity?
biceps brachii
What inserts to the ulnar tuberosity?
Brachialis
Dermatomes of the forearm?
C5, C6, C7, C8, T1
what inserts to the corticoid process?
Pectoralis minor, corocobrachialis, short head of biceps brachii
bicipital aponeurosis:
Thickening of the fascia; overlies and protects in particular the brachial artery and the median nerve during venipuncture.
Primary function of biceps brachii
Flexion and supinaiton
Primary function of coracobrachialis
Flexion and ADDuction the arm
Primary function of brachialis
Main flexor of the forearm
Lateral head of triceps brachii
Strongest generation of force, primary against active resistance, not passive.
Medial head of triceps brachii
passive resistance of triceps, isotonic, workforce, deep to lateral head.
Long head of triceps brachii
least active, primarily extension; since it crosses the glenoidhumeral joint, it is the only of the three that can extend the arm in addition of the forearm.
Three muscles that make up the floor of where the brachial artery runs through:
- Long head of triceps
- Corocobrachialis
- Brachialis
Three main branches of brachial artery:
- Deep brachial (profunda brachii) - runs in radial grove posteriorly; passes through the triangular interval
- Superior ulnar collateral
- Inferior ulnar collateral
Three important nerves associated with brachial artery:
Radial, ulnar and median n.
Three veins associated with brachial artery:
2- venae comitantes and basilic vein.
