musculocutaneous axillary median radial ulnar
what do the musculocutaneous, axillary, median radial and ulnar nerve supply

what type of joints are the hip, knee and ankle talocural joint
ball and socket and hinge and hinge
muscle compartment of the thigh
anterior compartment quadriceps

posterior (hamstrings)
and a medial compartment (hip adductors)
muscle compartment of the leg
4 in anterior
2 in posterior
2 in lateral
anterior (tibalis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus, fibularis tertius) posterior ( gastrocnemius and soleus deep too) lateral compartment ( fibularis longus and fibular brevis)
action of anterior and posterior compartment in thigh
anterior= flexes at hip and extends at knee posterior= extends at hip but flexes at knee (except sartorius flexes at both)
action of anterior and lateral compartment in leg
anterior= dorsiflexion foot lateral= plantarflexion foot

popliteal
short saphenous
venae comitantes of posterior and anterior tibilar arteries
dorsal venous arch
nerves of lower limb
sciatic (sacral), femoral (lumbar), obturator nerve (lumbar), tibial nerve (branch of sciatic) and common fibular (branch of sciatic)
what type of joints are the elbow and knee
synovial hinge joints
what are the 2 joints in the elbow region
- the elbow joint (ie the whole part)
2. the proximal radioulnar joint (pivot joint of radius attached to the ulnar)
draw the distal end of the humerus anterior view
radial fossa coronoid fossa lateral epicondyle capitulum trochlea medial epicondyle
draw the distal end of the humerus posterior view
olecranon fossa
medial epicondyle
tochlea
lateral epicondyle
draw the proximal end of the ulnar anterior
olecranon tochlear notch radial notch coronoid process tuberosity of ulnar supinator crest
draw the proximal end of the radius
head
neck
radial tuberosity
what ligaments stabilise the elbow joint
medial collateral ligament
lateral collateral ligament
what movements does the proximal radioulnar joint have
pivot joint so rotational movement ie supination and pronation of the palm happens here
and sliding movement
what ligament holds the proximal radioulnar joint and where does it extend from
what function does it have
angular ligament
extends from ulnar to circle the radius
stops radius and ulna separating but allows radius to rotate
muscles that cause flexion and extension at elbow and nerves innervating
flexion= biceps brachii and brachialis deeper to biceps (mn) and brachioradialis (rn as posterior) extension= triceps (rn)
muscles action on radioulnar joint and nerve
pronators (2)
supinators (2)
pronators and supinators
pronator teres (superifical muscle with medial border of cubital fossa)
and pronator quadratus (median nerve)
Supinator (deep muscle posterior compartment, winds laterally around proximal part of radius and attached to anterior surface( radial nerve Biceps Brachii (very powerful supinator, inserts into radial tuberosity of radius) musculocutaneous nerve
