Fascial Compartments of Extremities
-in TRV, segments of limbs are divided into multiple sections
How are the fascial compartments of extremities formed?
- by tough connective tissue septums
- also attach to the bone
- wrap around different muscle groups to keep in place
What does each fascial compartments of extremities have?
- nerve supply
- blood supply
Do muscles grouped together usually perform the same function?
Yes.
What are compartments surrounded by peripherally?
- deep fascia
- skin
What divides the compartments of the brachium?
-humerus
What are the anterior and posterior compartments of the brachium separated by?
-intermuscular septum/fascia
Anterior Flexors of Brachium
- biceps brachii (3 heads)
- brachialis
- coracobrachialis (superior)
Posterior Extenders of Brachium
Triceps (3 heads):
- medial head
- lateral head
- long head
Where is the intertubercular (bicipital) groove?
-on head of humerus
What is located in the intertubercular (bicipital) groove?
-long head of biceps brachii muscle
What is an area of the arm that is often affected by tears/inflammation in elderly and people who play sports?
-intertubercular (bicipital) groove
Where is the corabobrachialis?
-only on the superior aspect of the humerus
What is the antecubital fossa?
-triangular area on anterior side of elbow joint
What does the antecubital fossa contain?
