Axilla Flashcards
Serratus Anterior
proximal - Ribs 1-8 (lateral portions)
distal - medial border of scapula
Subscapularis
proximal - Subscapular fossa
distal - lesser tubercle of humerus
Coracobrachialis
proximal - Coracoid process of scapula
distal - medial humeral shaft
Biceps brachii
Proximal for long head: suparglenoid tubercle of scapula
Proximal for Short head: Coracoid oricess of scapula
Distal: Radial tuberosity and anterbrachial fascia
Brachialis
proximal: anterior humerus
distal: ulnar tuberosity
