Exam 1 - Arm/Forearm Flashcards
Attachment of coracobrachialis
- coracoid process
- Linear roughening on midshaft of humerus on medial side (medial surface of humerus)
Innervation of coracobrachialis
Musculocutaneous (C5, C6, C7)
Action of coracobrachialis
- Flexor of the arm at the glenohumeral joint
- Adducts arm
Vessels of coracobrachialis
- Brachial artery
- Anterior circumflex humeral artery
Attachment of biceps brachii
- Long head – supraglenoid tubercle of scapula
- Short head = coracoid process
- Radial tuberosity
Innervation of biceps brachii
Musculocutaneous (C5, C6, C7)
Action of biceps brachii
- Powerful flexor of the forearm at the elbow joint
- supinator of the forearm
- accessory flexor of the arm at the glenohumeral joint
Vessels of biceps brachii
- Brachial artery
- Anterior circumflex humeral artery
Attachment of brachialis
- Anterior surface of humerus intermuscular septae
- Tuberosity of the ulna
- Coronoid process of ulna
Innervation of brachialis
- Musculocutaneous (C5, C6, C7)
- Radial
Action of brachialis
Powerful flexor of the arm and forearm at the elbow joint
Vessels of brachialis
- Brachial artery
- Radial recurrent artery
- Ulnar collateral artery
Attachment of triceps brachii
- -Long head—infraglenoid tubercle of scapula
- -medial head—posterior surface of humerus;
- -lateral head—posterior surface of humerus
- All: olecranon
Innervation of triceps brachii
Radial nerve (C6, C7, C8)
Action of triceps brachii
Extension of the forearm at the elbow joint;
-accessory adductor and extensor of the arm at the glenohumeral joint
Attachment of anconeus
- Lateral epicondyle of humerus
* Olecranon and proximal posterior surface of ulna
Innervation of anconeus
Radial nerve (C6, C7, C8)
Action of anconeus
- Abduction of the ulna in pronation;
- accessory extensor of the elbow joint
Attachment of pronator teres
- Humeral head—medial epicondyle
- ulnar head—medial side of coronoid process
- Roughening on lateral surface, midshaft, of radius
Innervation of pronator teres
Median nerve (C6, C7)
Action of pronator teres
Pronation
Vessel of pronator teres
- Ulnar artery
- Radial artery
Attachment of flexor carpi radialis
- Medial epicondyle of humerus
* Base of metacarpals II and III
Innervation of flexor carpi radialis
Median nerve (C6, C7)
