the arm Flashcards
Anterior Arm Compartment:
Superficial: Pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, flexor carpi ulnaris
Intermediate: Flexor Digitorum Superficialis
Deep: Flexor Digitorum produndus, pronator quadratus, flexor pollicus longus
Posterior Arm compartment:
Superficial: Brachioradialis, Anconeus, Extensor Carpi Radialis longus, Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis, Extensor Carpi ulnaris, extensor digitorum, extensor digiti minimi
Deep: supinator, abbductor pollicuz longus, extensor indices, extensor pollicuz brevis, extensor pollicus longus
parts of the distal humerus
two articular condyles articulation with the proximal radius and ulna
capitulum
head of radius
trochela
medial and lateral epicondyles
medial and lateral supracondylar ridges
coronoid fossa (anterior)
olecranon fossa (posterior)
parts of radius
head
annular ligament
neck
radial tubercle
bicep brachii
parts of ulna
trochlear notch
olecranon process
coronoid process
tuberosity of the ulna
radial notch
does the ulna or radius rotate
radius
what is the function of the annular ligament
holds radius into ulna and permits rotation
compartmentalization of the arm
two compartments - anterior and posterior
what does the anterior compartment house in the arm
flexors
what does the posterior compartment house in the arm
extensors
Muscles located within the anterior compartment, how many muscles, what is innervation
3 total, biceps and brachialis (insert into forearm), while a third muscle, coracobrachials (inserts into humerus)
Innervated by musculocutaneous nerve
Coracobrachialis origin/insertion, function, innervation
Origin- tip of coracoid process
Insertion - halfway down medial side of the humerus
Function- adductor
Innervation - musculocutaneous nerve
Brachialis origin/insertion, function, innervation
Origin- flat surface of distal humerus
Insertion- tubercle of the ulna
Function- powerful elbow flexor
Innervation- musculocutaneous nerve
Biceps brachialii origin/insertion, function, innervation
Origin- two heads, two origins, long head - supraglenoid tubercle, short head - coracoid process
Insertion - radial tubercle
Function - flexor
Innervation - musculocutaneous
How many muscles occupy the posterior compartment of the arm
One, triceps
