TOPIC 3- UPPER EXTREMITY II Flashcards
Name the sources of innervation of the skin of the anterior region of the forearm
medially and laterally
laterally – by the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm which is continuation of the
musculocutaneous nerve
medially – by the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm
Name the sources of innervation of the skin of the posterior region of the forearm
medially, posteriorly and laterally.
Posteriorly - The posterior cutaneous nerve of the forearm which is a branch of radial
nerve
Laterally - Posterior branch of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm (continuation
of musculocutaneous nerve)
Medially – The posterior branch of the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm
Name structures passing in subcutaneous tissue of anterior region of the forearm on
the medial (ulnar) side.
Basilic Vein
Name structures passing in subcutaneous tissue of anterior region of the forearm on
the lateral (radial) side.
Cephalic Vein
5lName structures passing in subcutaneous tissue of anterior region of the forearm
along midline.
Median Vein
State the fascial compartments of the forearm.
Superficial and Deep Fascia
How many layers of the muscles of the anterior region of the forearm do you know?
4 layers
The brachioradialis, pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus and flexor carpi
ulnaris lie from the lateral to the medial side and form first layer of muscles of the forearm. The flexor digitorum superficialis muscle forms the second layer. The third layer is formed by the flexor pollicis longus and flexor digitorum profundus. The fourth layer is formed by the pronator quadratus and present only in the inferior
third of the forearm.
By what is the radial sulcus formed in superior third of the forearm medially and
lateral
Medially – by the pronator teres
Laterally – by the brachioradialis muscle
By what is the radial sulcus formed in middle and inferior third of the forearm
medially and laterally?
Medially - by the flexor carpi radialis
Laterally – by the brachioradialis muscle
State syntopy of the structures neurovascular bundle passing along radial sulcus of
the forearm.
Brachioradialis muscle is lateral to radial nerve which is lateral to radial artery
State syntopy of the structures of the neurovascular bundle passing along ulnar
sulcus of the forearm.
Flexor digitorum superficialis is lateral to ulnar artery which is lateral to ulnar nerve
By what is the median sulcus in the inferior third of the fore¬arm limited medially
and laterally?
Medially – Flexor digitorum superficialis
Laterally – Flexor carpi radialis
Name structures of the neurovascular bundle passing along the median sulcus of
the forearm
Median nerve, (median artery, small branch of anterior interosseous artery and veins. (((((🚫 NOT SURE)))))
Between what median nerve and artery pass at superior third of the forearm?
Head of the pronator teres
Between what are median nerve and artery located at middle third of forearm
anteriorly and posteriorly?
Flexor digitorum superficialis anteriorly and flexor digitorum profundus posteriorly.
By what is the Pirogoff’s fat space limited posteriorly?
Muscles of the 4th layer (Pronator quadratus)
By what is the Pirogoff’s fat space limited anteriorly?
Muscles of the 3rd layer( Flexor digitorum profundus and flexor pollicis Longus)
18.Name sources of innervation of the dorsum of the hand
Radial nerve (superficial branch and dorsal digital branch)
Ulnar nerve (Posterior cutaneous branch and dorsal digital branch)
How many layers of the muscles of the posterior region of the forearm do you know?
Two layers-Superficial and Deep
Name structure which may be damaged in fracture of the neck of the radius.
Deep branch of the radial nerve
