Movements of the elbow Flashcards
Muscles involved in the movement of the elbow
Which muscles are involved in the extension of the elbow?
Triceps brachii LoH, LaH + MH, anconeus
Name the origin and insertion of the triceps brachii LoH, LaH + MH
O:- Long head: infraglenoid tubercle of scapula; Lateral head: superior posterior of humerus; Medial head: distal posterior of humerus
I: form a common tendon that attaches to proximal end of olecranon process
Origin and insertion of the anconeus
O: lateral epicondyle of humerus
I: lateral surface olecranon + superior posterior ulna
Name muscles involved in flexion of elbow
Biceps brachii LH + SH, brachialis, bracoradialis, pronator teres
Name the origin and insertion of the biceps brachii LH + SH
O:- LH: supraglenoid tubercle of scapula; SH: tip of coracoid process of scapula
I: tuberosity of radius + fascia of forearm via bicipital aponeurosis
Name the origin and insertion of the brachilias
O: distal half of anterior humerus
I: coronoid process + ulna tuberosity
Name the origin and insertion of the bracoradialis
O: proximal 2/3 lateral supracondylar ridge of humerus
I: lateral surface distal radius
Name the origin and insertion of the pronator teres
O: medial epicondyle of humerus + coronoid process of ulna
I: middle of lateral radius
Name the muscles involved in the pronation of the forearm
Pronator quadratus, pronator teres, bracoradialis (of a fully supinated arm)
Name the origin and insertion of the pronator quadratus
O: distal 1/4 anterior ulna
I: distal 1/4 anterior radius
Name the origin and insertion of the pronator teres
O: medial epicondyle of humerus + coronoid process of ulna
I: middle of lateral radius
Name the origin and insertion of the brachoradialis
O: proximal 2/3 of lateral supracondylar ridge of humerus
I: lateral distal radius
Name the muscles involved in the supination of the forearm
Supinator, biceps brachii LH + SH
Name the origin and insertion of the supinator
O: lateral epicondyle of humerus + supinator fossa + crest of ulna
I: lateral, posterior + anterior surfaces of proximal 1/3 of radius
Name the origin and insertion of the biceps brachii LH + SH
O:- LH: supraglenoid tubercle of scapula; SH: tip of coracoid process of scapula
I: tuberosity of radius + fascia of forearm via bicipital aponeurosis
