Spaces, Fossa, Brachial Muscles And Brachial Vessels Flashcards
Borders of the quadrangular space
Teres minor
Teres major
Long head of triceps
Humerus
What goes through the quadrangular space
Axillary nerve
Posterior circumflex humeral vessels
Borders of the triangular space
Teres minor
Teres major
Long head of triceps
Contents of the triangular space
Circumflex scapular vessels
Borders of the triangular interval
Teres major
Long head of triceps
Lateral head of triceps
Contents of the triangular interval
Radial nerve
Deep brachial vessels (profound a brachii)
Anterior compartment of brachial muscles
Flexors of forearm:
Coracobrachialis
Biceps brachii (long and short head)
Brachialis
Innervation of the anterior brachial muscles
Musculocutaneous nerve
Median nerve and brachial artery run posterior and medial to the:
Coracobrachialis
_____ artery of humerus enters at distal end of the coracobrachialis
Nutrient
Coracobrachialis is pierced by:
Musculocutaneous nerve
OR, INS, NS, and AC of coracobrachialis m
OR: Coracoid process of scapula
INS: Medial surface of humerus
NS: Musculocutaneous
AC: Flexion and addiction of arm
OR, INS, NS, AC of Biceps brachii
OR: (2 heads) Short head: coracoid process of scapula. Long head: supraglenoid tubercle of scapula (passes through intertubercular sulcus under the transverse ligament)
INS: Radial tuberosity
Bicipital aponeurosis
NS: Musculocutaneous
AC: Flexes arm (weak) Flexes forearm (stronger flexor with forearm at 90 degrees and supinate) Supinates forearm (strongest forearm supinator with forearm at 90 degrees)
Workhorse of the anterior compartment- deep to biceps brachiii- pure flexor
Brachialis
OR, INS, NS, AC of Brachialis
OR: Anterior humerus
INS: Coranoid process of ulna (ulnar tuberosity)
NS: Musculocutaneous
AC: Flexes forearm
Posterior compartment of the brachial muscles (2)
Triceps (long head, lateral head, medial head)
Anconeus
Posterior compartment of the brachial muscles is innervated by the:
Radial nerve
OINA of Triceps brachii
OR: Long head- infraglenoid tubercle of scapula
Lateral head: posterior humerus, superior to the radial groove
Medial head: Posterior humerus, inferior to the radial groove
INS: Olecranon process of ulna
NS: Radial nerve
AC: Extends forearm
Extends and adducts arm (long head- weak)
OINA of Anconeus
OR: Lateral epicondyle of humerus
INS: Lateral olecranon of ulna
Posterior surface of the ulna
NS: Radial nerve
AC: Extends forearm
Tenses elbow joint capsule to prevent entrapment (keeps it from getting pinched)
Abducts the ulna during pronation
