Elbow Joint Flashcards
Coracobrachialis (C)
Long and slender muscle of anterior arm.
Its function is to flex and adduct the arm at the shoulder joint
coracoid to humerus
Triceps Bracchi (a)
M - A three headed muscle on the posterior aspect of the arm
O -
Long - infraglenoid tubercle of scapula
Medial - posterior humerus
Lateral - Posterior humerus
I - Olecranon of ulna and fascia of forearm
N - Radial Nerve
A -
Elbow - extension
Shoulder - extension and adduction/
Brachialis (B)
M - Fusiform in the anterior compartment of the arm
O - Distal half of the anteriro surface of humerus
I - Coronoid process of the ulna
A - Flexion of arm at the elbow
Brachioradialis (B)
M - Fusiform muscle loacted in the lateral posterior forearm
O - Lateral aspect of the distal end of the humerus
I - Lateral aspect of the distal radius
N - Radial nerve
A - Strongest in semi pronation of the forearm
Supinator (B)
M - Spiral muscle contained in the posterior compartment of the forearm.
O - Lateral epicondyle of humerus, radial collateral and annular ligament
I - Lateral, posterior and anteriro surfaces of the proximal radiu s
N - Interosseus nerve
A- Forearm Supination
Pronator Teres (B)
M - Fusiform muscle found in the anterior forearm
O - medial humerus and coronoid process of ulna
I - Lateral surface of the radius
N - Median
A - pronation of the forearm at the proximal radio ulna joint (some elbow flexion)
Which bones make up the Elbow Joint
Ulna
Radius
Humerus
What kind of joint is the elbow joint?
Synovial Uniaxial Hinge Joint
What are the bony landmarks of the humerus? ant and post
Ant
- Lateral epicondyle
- Medial epicondyle
- Coronoid fossa
- Capitulum
- Trochlea
Post
- Olecranon fossa
Bony landmarks of the Ulna? ant and post
Ant
- Trochlea notch
- Ulna tuberosity
- Coronoid process
Post
- Olecranon
Radius bony landmarks ant and post?
- Radial head
- Radial tuberosity
What are the articulating surfaces for the humeroradial joint
The capitulum of the humerus and the radial head of the radius
What are the articulating surfaces of the proximal radioulnar joint?
The proximal ends of the radius and ulanr articualte to form the proximal radioulnar joint.
- the radial head articualtes with the radial notch of the ulna
What three ligametns support the Elbow Joint
Ulnar collateral ligament
Radial collateral ligament
Annular ligament
What are the Attachments for the Ulnar collateral ligaments?
O - Medial epicondyle of the humerus
I - Cornonoid process of the Ulnar
It is triangular in shape and is comprised of a anterior, posterior and inferior band
