elbow Flashcards
attachments of biceps brachii
- long head: supraglenoid tubercle of scapula
- short head: coracoid process of scapula
- bicipital tuberosity of radius
nerve of biceps
musculocutaneous
action of biceps
elbow flexion, forearm supination, and shoulder flexion
attachments of brachialis
- anterior aspect of distal humerus
- coronoid process of ulna
nerve of brachialis
musculocutaneous
actions of brachialis
elbow flexion
attachments of brachioradialis
- lateral supracondylar ridge of humerus
- near styloid process of distal radius
nerve of brachioradialis
radial
actions of brachioradialis
elbow flexion, pronating, and supinating
attachments of triceps
- Long head: infraglenoid tubercle
- Lateral head: posterior aspect superior humerus
- medial head: same as lateral head
- olecranon process
nerve of triceps
radial
actions of triceps
elbow extension, long head does shoulder extension
attachments of the supinator
- lateral epicondyle
- supinator crest of ulna
- lateral surface of the proximal radius
nerve of supinator
radial
actions of supinator
supination
attachments of pronator teres
- humeral head: medial epicondyle
- lateral surface of mid radius
nerve of pronator teres
median nerve
actions of pronator teres
pronation and elbow flexion
attachments of pronator quadratus
- anterior surface of distal ulna
- anterior surface of distal radius
nerve of pronator quadratus
median
actions of pronator quadratus
pronation
nerve that supplies elbow flexors
musculocutaneous
nerve that supplies elbow extension
radial
nerve that supplies pronators
