Extensor carpi radialis
Triceps brachii
SDF and proximal check (accessory) ligament
DDF and distal check (accessory) ligament
Common digital extensor tendon

Q

Function of the tendon of the biceps brachia muscle in the stay apparatus

A

Prevents shoulder flexion (tendon of origin engages on intermediate tubercle)
“Locks” the shoulder joint

17
Q

Stabilization of the elbow joint:

A

No muscles actively engaged all the time to provide balance of weight on the nearly vertical radius. Triceps muscle is quite relaxed.

18
Q

Stabilization of the carpus:

A

Tension transferred from biceps brachia muscle to the extensor carpi radials muscle via lacerates fibrosis, palmar carpal ligament prevents hyperextension of the carpus
