Chapter 7 Flashcards
Anterior chest and shoulder:
Pectoralis major/minor
Serratus anterior
Deltoid
Anterior brachium:
Biceps brachii
Brachialis
Brachioradialis
Anterior antebrachium:
Pronator teres
Palmaris longus
Supinator
Anterior antebrachium:
Flexor carpi radialis Flexor carpi ulnaris Flexor digitorum superficialis Flexor digitorum profundus Flexor pollicis longus
Nerves:
Median
Ulnar
Posterior brachium:
Triceps brachii Extensor carpi radialis Extensor carpi radialis brevis Extensor digitorum Extensor carpi ulnaris Extensor pollicis longus
Muscles of arm/forearm:
Anconeus Coracobrachialis Pronator quadratus Abductor pollicis longus Extensor pollicis brevis Extensor indicis
Nerves:
Musculocutaneous
Radial
Axillary
Biceps brachii:
Long and short heads
Triceps brachii:
Long, lateral, and medial heads
“M” branches of the brachial plexus
musculocutaneous nerve
median nerve
ulnar nerve
musculocutaneous nerve
innervates the flexor muscles of the brachium and pierces the coracobrachialis muscle
intermuscular septum
divides the anterior compartment from the posterior compartment
border of the triangle
“cubital fossa”
- “imaginary line” between the medial and lateral epicondyles
- brachioradialis muscle
- pronator teres muscle
structures in the cubital fossa
tendon of the biceps brachii, brachial artery (branching into the radial and ulnar arteries), and median nerve
deep to the cubital fossa
supinator
superficial muscles of the anterior forearm
sequential order: flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus (if present), flexor carpi ulnaris
snuffbox
proximal to distal are: abductor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis brevis, and extensor pollicis longus.
The abductor pollicis longus tendon extends to
the metacarpal
The extensor pollicis brevis tendon extends to
the proximal phalanx
The extensor policis longus tendon extends to
the distal phalanx
coracobrachialis
only muscle that does not cross the elbow joint, but instead crosses the shoulder joint—thus, it assists in arm movement
muscles of the anterior compartment that assist in flexion of the antebrachium are innervated by
the musculocutaneous nerve
muscles of the posterior
compartment are innervated by
the radial nerve
coracobrachialis muscle is innervated by
the musculocutaneous nerve
brachioradialis muscle innervated by
the radial nerve, because the origin point stems the posterior side
triceps brachii
Radial nerve
Anconeus
Synergist to triceps
Radial nerve
Coracobrachialis*
Flexes and adducts humerus
Musculocutaneous nerve
Biceps brachii
Musculocutaneous nerve
