FORELIMB Flashcards
What muscles are responsible for extension of the shoulder
Supraspinatus
Origin and insertion of the supaspinatus
Origin= supraspinatus fossa Insertion= greater tubercle of the humerus
Which nerve innervates the supraspinatus muscle
Suprascapular nerve
What muscles flex the shoulder
Deltoids
Teres major
Origin and insertion of the deltoids
Origin = scapula spine and acromion Insertion = deltoid tuberosity of humerus
What nerve innervates the deltoid muscles
Auxiliary nerve
Origin and insertion of the teres major
Origin= caudal border of the scapular
Insertion=teres major tuberosity of the humerus
What nerve innervates the teres major
Auxiliary nerve
What muscles extend the elbow
Brachial triceps
Describe the origin and insertion of the brachial triceps
Origin = humerus Insertion= olecranon
Which nerve innervates the brachial triceps
Radial nerve
What muscle flex the elbow
Brachial biceps
Brachialis
Origin and insertion of the brachial biceps
Origin =supraglenoid tubercle of scapular
Insertion= medial tuberosity of radius
Which nerve innervates the brachial biceps muscle
Musculocutaneous nerve
Origin and insertion of the brachialis muscle
Origin= humerus Insertion= Coronoid process of the ulnar
What nerve innervates the brachialis muscle
Musculocutaneous nerve
What muscles extend the carpus/digits
- lateral digital extensor
- common digital extensor
- radial carpal extensor
- ulnar carpal extensor
Origin and insertion of the lateral digital extensor
Origin = lateral epicondyle of humerus Insertion= proximal phalanx of digits 4 and 5
Origin and insertion of the common digital extensor
Origin= lateral epicondyle of the humerus Insertion= distal phalanx of each digit
