20
Q

Origin of brachioradialis

A

Proximal ⅔ of lateral
supracondylar ridge of
humerus (just remember lateral supracondylar ridge)

21
Q

A

Styloid process of radius

22
Q

Action of brachioradialis

A
Flex the elbow
Assist to pronate and
supinate the forearm when
these movements are
resisted
(not primary mover, assister)
23

• Adduct the shoulder
26
Q

`Origin of the pronator teres

A

Common flexor tendon from

medial epicondyle of humerus and coronoid process of the ulna

27
Q

Insertion of the pronator teres

A

• Middle of lateral surface of the radius

28
Q

Action of the pronator teres

A
  • Pronate the forearm

* Assist to flex the elbow

29
Q

Origin of the Supinator

A
• Lateral epicondyle of
humerus
