Outline 7-8: Brachium/Antebrachium Flashcards
Anterior compartment of Brachium contains which muscles?
Biceps, brachialis (flexors), and coracobrachialis (adductor)
Blood supply of anterior Brachium. And nerve supply?
Brachial artery; musculocutaneous nerve
Posterior Brachium contains which muscles?
Triceps (extensor), anconeus, articularis cubiti
Posterior Brachium blood and nerve supply.
Brachial profunda artery; radial nerve
Anterior and posterior Brachium compartments divided by:
Deep fascia
The workhorse of elbow flexion
Brachialis
The forearm must be in which position to activate biceps?
Supinated
Workhorse of elbow extension
Medial head of triceps
Articularis cubiti attaches to:
The joint capsule
Anconeus is a tiny (flexor/extensor/other) that travels from (X) to (Y)
Extensor
X = lateral epicondyle Y = lateral olecranon process
The axillary artery becomes the brachial artery after passing which landmark?
Teres major
The brachial artery splits into how many main branches? List them.
4 main branches:
- Superior ulnar collateral
- Profunda brachii
- Inferior ulnar collateral
- Nutrient artery
Brachial profunda artery splits into:
- Anterior (radial) collateral artery
2. Posterior (middle) collateral artery
The superior ulnar collateral artery travels:
Posterior to medial elbow side
The inferior ulnar collateral artery travels:
Anterior to medial elbow side
Musculocutaneous nerve emerges in antebrachium as (X) after traveling between (Y) and (Z) muscles.
X = lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve Y = biceps Z = brachialis
Which nerve(s) have NO innervation in Brachium?
Median and ulnar nerves
Traveling from the upper Brachium to the lower Brachium, the (X) nerve gradually moved from the (post/ant) compartment to the (post/ant) compartment.
X = ulnar
Anterior to posterior
How many cutaneous branches originate from radial nerve in Brachium? List them.
3 cutaneous branches:
- Lower lateral brachial cutaneous
- Posterior brachial cutaneous
- Posterior antebrachial cutaneous
As the radial nerve travels down the Brachium, it innervates (X) before traveling with which artery in which part of the humerus?
X = triceps
Travels with brachial profunda artery in spiral groove (to anterior compartment)
The radial nerve innervates (X) and (Y), right before dividing in front of (Z) of humerus.
X = brachioradials Y = extensor carpi radialis longus Z = lateral epicondyle
Radial nerve eventually divides into which branches? What does each innervate?
Superficial (cutaneous to posterolateral hand)
Deep (muscular branch)
Anterior forearm muscles blood supply:
Superficial: Ulnar artery
Deep: anterior interosseous artery
Anterior forearm nerve supply:
Median nerve
EXCEPT: FCU and ulnar half FDP (ULNAR NERVE)
Muscles of superficial anterior forearm:
- Pronator Teres
- Palmaris longus
- Flexor carpi radialis
- Flexor carpi ulnaris
- Flexor digitorum superficialis
Deep muscles of the anterior forearm:
- Flexor pollicis longus
- Flexor digitorum profundus
- Pronator quadratus
Medial epicondyle is a common origin for which muscles?
All superficial muscles of anterior forearm
pronator teres, palmaris longus, flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, and FDS
Blood supply of superficial muscles of posterior forearm:
Radial artery
Blood supply of deep muscles in posterior forearm:
Posterior interosseous artery
Nerve supply to posterior forearm:
Deep radial nerve
EXCEPT: brachioradialis and extensor carpi radialis longus (RADIAL NERVE)
Superficial muscles of the posterior forearm:
- Brachioradialis
- Extensor carpi radialis longus
- Extensor carpi radialis brevis
- Extensor carpi ulnaris
- Extensor digitorum
- Extensor digiti minimi
Which muscles have common origin on lateral epicondyle?
All extensors in superficial layer of posterior antebrachium EXCEPT brachioradialis
