Q

What are examples of different skeletal muscle shapes?

A

Circular muscle

Pennate muscle: fibres that lie diagonally

96
Q

Describe the route of the musculocutaneous nerve

A

Passes down the flexor compartment of the upper arm. It innervates these muscles.

The nerve continues into the forearm as the lateral cutaneous nerve and provides sensory innervation to the lateral aspect of the forearm.

97
Q

Describe the route of the axillary nerve

A

Passes through the quadrangular space, wraps around the surgical neck of the humerus.

98
Q

Describe the route of the median nerve

A

Halfway down the arm, the nerve crosses over the brachial artery, and becomes situated medially.

The median nerve enters the anterior compartment of the forearm via the cubital fossa.

The median nerve enters the hand via the carpal tunnel.

99
Q

Describe the route of the radial nerve

A

The radial nerve descends down the arm, travelling in a shallow depression within the surface of the humerus, known as the radial groove.

As it descends, the radial nerve wraps around the humerus laterally, and supplies a branch to the medial head of the triceps brachii.

100
Q

Describe the route of the ulnar nerve

A

Descends down the medial aspect of the upper arm. At the elbow, it passes posterior to the medial epicondyle of the humerus.

The ulnar nerve is palpable and vulnerable to injury at the medial epicondyle.

In the forearm, the ulnar nerve travels deep to the muscle, alongside the ulna. It enters the hand via the ulnar canal (Guyon’s canal).
