Lecture 16: Arm And Shoulder Flashcards
Label that anterior compartment of the arm
What action do they cause mostly? Secondarily?
What’s their innervation?
What’s their blood supply?
14
Muscles are primarily flexors of forearm at elbow
- Secondarily flexors of arm at shoulder (biceps brachii & coracobrachialis)
- Innervated by musculocutaneous nerve
- Blood supply by brachial artery
Label the superficial veins in the anterior arm slide 4
And be able to label all the slides of the humerus from slides 6-12
H
Label the cadaver picture on slide 16
Hu
Biceps brachii
Origin, insertion etc
Tell me something important about the tendon of the bicep brachii
18
Proximal attachment: Short head: apex of coracoid process of scapula Long head: supraglenoid tubercle of scapula
Distal attachment: Tuberosity of radius and fascia of forearm via bicipital aponeurosis
Innervation: Musculocutaneous nerve
Action: Supinates flexed forearm; flexes forearm at elbow
The tendon of biceps brachii (esp. long head) has the highest rate of spontaneous rupture of any tendon in the body!
> 40 years (= degeneration)
+ rotator cuff injuries
Repetitive lifting
Tell me about the brachialis
19
Proximal attachment: Distal half of anterior humerus
Distal attachment: Coronoid process and tuberosity of ulna
Innervation: Musculocutaneous nerve
Action: Flexes forearm at elbow in all positions
Cobracobrachialis
20
Proximal attachment: Tip of coracoid process of scapula
Distal attachment: Middle third of medial surface of humerus
Innervation: Musculocutaneous nerve
Action: Helps to flex and adduct arm at shoulder
Muscles of the posterior compartment of the forearm What's their main action? What's their blood supply? What's their innervation? Slide 22
- Primarily extensors of the forearm at elbow.
- Blood supply from deep artery of arm (profunda brachii).
- Innervated by radial nerve.
Label the poster compartment slide 24
Triceps brachii slide 25
Then medial head on 26
Proximal attachment Long head: infraglenoid tubercle of scapula [most medial] Lateral head: posterior surface of humerus Medial head: posterior surface of humerus, inferior to radial groove
Distal attachment Proximal end of olecranon of ulna and fascia of forearm
Innervation Radial nerve
Action Extends forearm at elbow; is chief extensor of elbow
Medial head:
Proximal attachment Medial head: posterior surface of humerus, inferior to radial groove
Distal attachment Proximal end of olecranon of ulna and fascia of forearm
Innervation Radial nerve
Action Extends forearm at elbow; is chief extensor of elbow
Anconeus muscle
27
Proximal attachment Lateral epicondyle of humerus
Distal attachment Lateral surface of olecranon and superior part of posterior surface of ulna
Innervation Radial nerve
Action Assists triceps in extending elbow; abducts ulna during pronation
Describe the blood supply of the upper limb
Slide 28 39
Brachial artery supplies anterior arm muscles
Deep brachial artery (profunda brachii) supplies posterior arm muscles
Label slides 30, 31,32
Neurovascular bundle, veins etc
Nervous supply of the arm muscles slide 33, 35 and 36
Has dermatomes too
Musculocutaneous nerve (lateral cord of brachial plexus)
Biceps brachii
Brachialis
Coracobrachialis
Radial nerve (posterior cord of brachial plexus)
Triceps brachii
Anconeus
Posterior forearm
Bones of arm & shoulder comprised of:
Bones of arm & shoulder comprised of:
Pectoral girdle = -> Clavicle -> Scapula
+ Humerus
Label slides of clavicle and scapula on slides 38-42
Do it
What are the joints of the pectoral girdle?
Slide 44
Acromioclavicular joint
• Glenohumeral joint
• Sternoclavicular joint
