Middle of humerus

Question 19

Coracobrachialis Action

Answer 19

flexes the shoulder (at GH joint)
adducts the shoulder (at GH joint)
resists dislocation of the shoulder

Question 20

coronoid process of ulna

Question 23

Brachialis Action

Answer 23

elbow FLEXION (main)

** contributes to elbow flexion when arm is pronated

Question 24

Brachialis Innveration

Answer 24

Musculocutaneous Nerve (C5, C6, C7)

Small branch from radial nerve (C5, C7)

Answer 26

Lateral surface of distal radius (proximal to the styloid process)

Question 27

Brachioradialis Action

Answer 27

Elbow flexion in midpronated position (“thumbs up”)

Assists to pronate and supinate forearm when movements are resisted or from end range

**main contributor to elbow flexion when forearm is mid-pronated
