Biceps
Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus
Supinator
Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis

A

Brachioradialis
Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus

Explanation:
The lateral boundary of the radial tunnel is formed by three muscles at their respective origins: brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis longus, & extensor carpi radialis brevis; the biceps and brachialis forms the medial boundary; the superficial layer of the supinator and the radial recurrent vessels form the roof and the deep layer of the supinator and the joint capsule of the humero-radial joint forms the floor of the tunnel.

Q

The deep branch of the radial nerve supplies which of the following muscles? Select all that apply.
Brachioradialis
Supinator muscle
Extensor carpi radialis longus
Extensor carpi radialis brevis
Extensor carpi ulnaris

A

Supinator Muscle
Extensor carpi radialis brevis

Explanation:
The deep branch of the radial nerve will supply the supinator and the extensor carpi radialis brevis and then continue as the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN). The brachioradialis and the extensor carpi radialis longus are supplied by the radial nerve (proper) and extensor carpi ulnaris is supplies by the PIN.

17
Q

Which of the following muscles is supplied by the PIN? Select all that apply.
Extensor Pollicis Longus
Extensor Digitorium
Extensor Digiti Minimi
Extensor Indicis
Abductor Pollicis Longus

A

Extensor Pollicis Longus
Extensor Digitorium
Extensor Digiti Minimi
Extensor Indicis
Abductor Pollicis Longus

Explanation:
All if the above muscles are supplied by the PIN. In fact, the majority of the muscles of the posterior compartment of the forearm are supplied by the PIN. Exceptions to this rule are: brachioradialis and ECRL (innervated by the radial nerve proper) and ECRB and the supinator (innervated by the deep branch of the radial nerve).

18
Q

True or False: The superficial branch of the radial nerve is a mixed motor and sensory nerve.

A

False

Explanation:
The superficial branch of the radial nerve is a purely cutaneous nerve which supplies the skin over the dorsolateral aspect of the hand.

19
Q

Which of the following nerve supplies the skin of the posterolateral aspects of the forearm?
Medial Antebrachial Cutaneous nerve
Lateral Antebrachial Cutaneous nerve
Posterior Antebrachial Cutaneous nerve

A

Lateral Antebrachial Cutaneous nerve

Explanation:
The skin of the posterolateral aspects of the forearm is supplied by the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve (continuation of the musculocutaneous nerve). The skin of the posteromedial aspects of the forearm is supplied by the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve (branch of the medial cord of the plexus), and the skin along the midline is supplied by the posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve (branch of the radial nerve).

20
