-Flexor Carpi Ulnaris -Ulnar Head of Flexor digitorum profundus are the exception and innervated by?
Ulnar Nerve
Brachioradiallis is innervated by?
Radial Nerve
Brachioradiallis starts posterior and comes around?
Anteriorly
Which nerve innervates the majority of the Forearm?
Median nerve
Brachial Artery divides into which two arteries?
Radial Artery (Lateral) Ulnar Artery ( Medial)
Ulnar Artery has which arteries that come off and surround it?
Common Interosseous Artery Anterior Interosseous Artery Posterior Interossesus Artery
The Common Interosseous Branches off the Ulnar Artery?
True
Posterior Compartment Muscles Consist of what kind of muscles?
Extensors ( Supinators)
Anterior Compartment Muscles consist of what kind of muscles?
Flexors (Pronators)
Flexors Innervation? Arterial Supply? Location? Attachment?
- Flexors are muscles that flex the wrist and/or the finger joints.
- Median Nerve (For Most)
- Exception For Flexor Carpi Ulnaris
- Ulnar Head of Flexor Digitorum Profundus Innervated by Ulnar Nerve
- Arterial Supply Ulnar Artery and Radial Artery
- Anterior Interosseous Artery
- Anterior Compartment Attach to the MEDIAL epicondyle of the humerus
- Distally they attach to the carpal bones, metacarpals and phalanges.
Extensors Innervation? Arterial Supply? Location?
- Extensors are muscles that extend the wrist and/or the fingers.
- Radial Nerve
- Arterial Supply: Posterior Interosseous Artery
- Posterior Compartment
- Proximally, they attach to either the lateral epicondyle, ulna and/or radius.
- Distally, they attach to the carpal bones, metacarpals and phalanges.
The intermuscular septum connects the radius to the ulna?
False, the Interosseous Membrane does!
Almost ALL flexor tendons and the median nerve run through the?
Flexor Retinaculum
Superficial Anterior Forearm Muscles
- Pronator Teres- Median Nerve
- Flexor Carpi Radialis- Median Nerve
- Palmaris Longus- Median Nerve
- Flexor Carpi Ulnaris- Ulnar Nerve
Intermediate Anterior Forearm Muscle
