What do fascial compartments contain?
Groups of muscles and neurovascular structures enveloped by a layer of connective (fibrous) tissue
How do muscles within the same comparment compare to each other?
Usually act similarly on a joint, sharing a common nerve and blood supply
What joints do the muscles of the anterior comparment of the arm act on?
Elbow and superior radio-ulnar joint
What is 1?
Bicep brachii (short head)
What is 2?
Brachialis
What is 3?
Musculocutaneous nerve
What is 4?
Coracobrachialis
What is the most superficial muscle of the anterior compartment of arm?
Bicep brachii
What is the origin and insertion of bicep brachii?
- Origin
- Scapula via 2 heads
- Insertion
- Radial tuberosity
- Also attaches through the bicipital aponeurosis to deep fascia of forearm
What joints does the bicep brachii act on?
Shoulder
Elbow
Radio-ulnar joints
Where do the following heads of bicep brachii originate:
- short head
- long head
- Short head
- Coracoid process of scapula
- Long head
- Supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula
Where does the long head of bicep brachii tendon run?
Passes through shoulder joint and runs down the intertubercular groove of humerus
What action does the bicep brachii have on:
- shoulder
- elbow
- superior radio-ulnar joint
- Shoulder
- Flexion
- Elbow
- Flexion
- Radio-ulnar joint
- Involved in supination (action of radius rotating over ulna)
For the coracobrachialis:
- origin
- insertion
- action
- Origin
- Tip of carocoid process of scapula
- Insertion
- Medial aspect of mid-shaft of humerus
- Action
- Flex and adduct the arm at shoulder joint
For brachialis muscle:
- origin
- insertion
- action
- Origin
- Anterior surface of distal shaft of humerus
- Insertion
- Coronoid process of ulna
- Action
- Flexion of elbow
What are the muscles of the anterior compartment of arm?
- Bicep brachii
- Caracobrachialis
- Brachialis
What is the deepest muscle of the anterior compartment of arm?
Brachialis
What nerve supplies all the muscles of the anterior comparment of arm?
Musculocutaneous nerve
What does the musculocutaneous nerve branch from?
Terminal branch from lateral cord of brachial plexus
What is the course of the musculocutaneous nerve?
It enters the arm by perforating the coracobrachialis, descending distally between the biceps brachii and brachialis muscles. After crossing the elbow joint it gives off its terminal branch to supply the skin as the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm.
What branch comes of the musculocutaneous nerve?
Lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm
What is the segmental or root value of the musculocutaneous nerve?
C 5 to C 6
Does the musculocutaneous nerve supply any muscles in the forearm or hand?
Yes, as the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm
What is 1?
Axillary artery
What is 2?
Median nerve
What is 3?
Radial nerve
What is 4?
Ulnar nerve
