Muscles Of Arm Flashcards
Bicep brachii insertion
Tuberosity of radius and fascia of forearm
Biceps brachii origin
Short head: tip of coracoid
Long head : supra glenoid tubercle of scapula
innervation of bicep brachii
musculocutaneous (C5, C6)
main action of Bicep Brachii
Supinates forearm
when suponates, flexes elbow joint
flexes shoulder joint
shorter head resist dislocation of shoulder
Brachialis Origin
Distal half of humerus
insertion of Brachialis
Coronoid process and tuberosity of ulna
brachialis innervation
musculocutaneous C5 C6
action of brachialis
flexes elbow joint in all positions
coracobrachialis origin
tip of coracoid process
insertion of coracobrachialis
middle third of medial surface of humerus
innervation of coracobrachialis
Musculocutaneous C5 C6 C7
Action of coracobrachialis
helps flex and adduct shoulder joint
resist dislocation of shoulder
Triceps brachii Origin
Long head: infraglenoid tubercle of scapula
Lateral Head:posterior surface of humerus, superior to radial groove
Medial Head: posterior surface of humerus, inferior to radial groove
Innervation of triceps brachii
Radial nerve C6 C7 C8
Action of Triceps Brachii
chief extensor of elbow joint
Long Head; extends shoulder joint and resists dislocation
