Q

Which of the following structures strengthens the medial aspect of the elbow joint capsule?**
Subcutaneous olecranon bursa
Ulnar collateral
Radial collateral

A

Ulnar Collateral
Explanation:
The ulnar collateral ligament provides stability to the medial aspect of the elbow joint capsule. The radial collateral ligament will strengthen the lateral aspect of the elbow joint capsule. The subcutaneous olecranon bursa is situated between the olecranon process of the ulna and the overlying skin. Helps reduce friction on the skin during movement of the elbow joint.

Q

Which of the following muscles inserts on the radial tuberosity?
Biceps brachii
Triceps brachii
Brachialis

A

Biceps Brachii
Explanation
The biceps brachii will insert on the radial tuberosity. The triceps inserts on the olecranon process of the ulna, and the brachialis inserts on the ulna tuberosity.

Q

Which of the following muscles will produce motion at both the shoulder and elbow joints? Select all that apply.
-coracobrachialis
-long head of the triceps brachii
-lateral head of the triceps brachii
-long head of the biceps brachii
-short head of the biceps brachii
-brachialis

A

Long head of the Triceps brachii
Long head of the Biceps brachii
Short head of the Biceps brachii
Explanation
The long and short head of the biceps and the long head of the triceps cross the shoulder joint. The coracobrachialis only cross the shoulder joint (acting on only this joint) and the brachialis and the lateral head of the triceps only cross the elbow joint (acting on only this joint).

17
Q

True or False: The radial nerve innervates the muscles of the posterior compartment of the arm.

A

True

18
Q

Which of the following structures forms a boundary of the triangular interval? Select all that apply.
-teres major
-teres minor
-long head of the triceps
-lateral head of the triceps
-medial head of the triceps

A

Teres Major
Long head of triceps
Lateral head of triceps

19
Q

True or False: The musculocutaneous nerve becomes a purely cutaneous nerve after supplying the muscles of the anterior compartment of the arm.

A

True

20
Q

What structures can be seen within the triangular interval when transitioning to the posterior compartment of the arm? Select all that apply.
Profunda brachii artery
Circumflex scapular artery
Posterior circumflex humeral artery
Radial nerve
Axillary nerve

A

Profunda brachii artery
Radial nerve

21
Q

Which of the following nerves supplies the skin of the medial aspect of the arm?
Medial brachial cutaneous
Inferior lateral brachial cutaneous
Posterior brachial cutaneous

A

Medial brachial cutaneous

22
Q

True or False: When the axillary artery crosses the inferior margin of the deltoid muscle it becomes the brachial artery.

A

False
Explanation
This statement is false: when the axillary artery crosses the inferior margin of the teres major muscle it becomes the brachial artery.

23
Q

True or False: The profunda brachii artery provides the muscles of the posterior compartment with blood.

A

True

24
Q

Which of the following veins is a typical site for venipuncture?
Cephalic
Axillary
Brachial
Median cubital

A

Median cubital
Explanation
The median cubital vein, which is the communication between the cephalic and basilic vein, is the typical site for venipuncture.

26
Q

A.) Name this muscle**
B.) What nerve does it innervate

A

A.) What structure does this bony landmark articulate?**
B.) What is the name of the joint?

A

(Trochlear)
