- scapula
- most proximal upper limb joint
- consists of scapula, clavicle and proximal humerus
arm bone
humerus
forearm bones
radius and ulna
wrist
- carpals
- distal radius and ulna contact carpals
- carpals contact carpals
- carpals contact metacarpals
palm bones
metacarpals
finger bones
digits and phalanges
elbow
-consists of distal humerus, proximal radius, and proximal ulna
hand
- palm (metacarpals)
- fingers (phalanges)
what bone does the biceps brachii never attach to?
humerus
shoulder flexion
swings the upper limb forward at the shoulder
shoulder extension
swings the upper limb backward at the shoulder
dorsal (posterior) muscles of upper limbs
elevators or extensors
ventral (anterior) muscles of upper limbs
depressors or flexors
pectoris major and minor innervation
- lateral pectoral nerve (from lateral cord)
- medial pectoral nerve (from medial cord)
deltoid innervation
axillary nerve
triceps brachii + all other extensors (superficial and deep) innervation
radial nerve
anterior flexors in arm innervation
musculocutaneous nerve
anterior flexors in forearm and hand innervation
median and ulnar nerves
