Elbow Flashcards
Supinator
O: lateral epicondyle of humerus, supinator crest and supinator fossa of ulna
I: anterior, lateral, and posterior aspects of proximal 1/3 of radius
A: forearm supination
Long head of triceps brachii
O: infraglenoid tubercle of scapula
I: olecranon of ulna and adjacent antebrachial fascia
A: elbow extension
Medial head of triceps brachii
O: posterior surface of humerus, inferior to radial groove
I: olecranon of ulna and adjacent antebrachial fascia
A: elbow extension
Lateral head of triceps brachii
O: posterior surface of humerus, superior to radial groove
I: olecranon of ulna and adjacent antebrachial fascia
A: elbow extension
Brachialis
O: anterior aspect of distal half of humerus
I: coronoid process and tuberosity of ulna
A: elbow flexion
Long head of biceps brachii
O: supraglenoid tubercle of scapula
I: radial tuberosity and antebrachial fascia
A: forearm supination, elbow flexion (elbow flexion most effective when forearm supinated)
Short head of biceps brachii
O: apex of coracoid process of scapula
I: radial tuberosity and antebrachial fascia
A: forearm supination, elbow flexion (elbow flexion most effective when forearm supinated)
Brachioradialis
O: superior 2/3 of lateral supracondylar ridge of humerus
I: lateral aspect of distal part of radius
A: elbow flexion
Pronator teres
O: medial supracondylar ridge of humerus, via the common flexor tendon, and medial aspect of coronoid process of ulna
I: middle one third of anterolateral aspect of radius
A: forearm pronation
Anconeus
O: posterior aspect of lateral epicondyle of humerus
I: olecranon, proximal end of body of ulna
A: elbow extension
