Lec 6 Arm & Forearm Flashcards
site of epiphyseal plate on humerus
anatomical neck
most fractures occur here
surgical neck
capitulum is blank and articulates with head of blank
lateral, radius
trochlea is blank and articulates with blank
medial, ulna
posterior part of radius where ulna fits in
olecranon fossa
where biceps brachii attaches
radial tuberosity
where triceps attach
olecranon process
part of ulna that articulates with trochlea of humerus
trochlear notch
part of ulna that articulates with the medial part of the trochlea
coronoid process
where brachialis attaches on ulna
ulnar tuberosity
where ulnar collateral ligament attaches on ulna
styloid process
wrist adduction is greater than radial deviation because styloid process of radius is blank
longer
fracture that displaces radial styloid to make the processes the same length
colle’s fracture
what joins radius and ulna
interosseous membrane
palpable structures in cubital fossa (lateral to medial)
biceps tendon, brachial artery, median nerve
non palpable structures in cubital fossa
radial/ulnar arteries, radial nerve
vein beneath skin in cubital fossa that is often used for venipuncture
median cubital vein
articulation type between radial head and radial notch
pivot
ligament that goes from medial epicondyle to ulna
ulnar collateral
ligament that goes from lateral epicondyle to radius
radial collateral
ligament that goes around head of the radius
annular ligament
muscles of flexor compartment of arm
coracobrachialis, biceps brachii, brachialis
