Q

musculocutaneous nerve muscles

A

exits lateral cord
= pierces corobrahialis
= travel between biceps and brachialis

BBC
biceps brachii (flexion, supination)
corocobrahialis (flexion, adduction)
BRACHIALIS (elbow flexion) ==> brachioradialis is inervated by the radial nerve

= wrap around radial groove of humerus
= pass through cubital fossa
= divide into deep (motor) and superficial (sensory) branch

BEST

Q

median nerve

A

axilla
= cubital fossa
= carpal tunnel
= palmar and recurrent branch

LOAF
- lumbricals 1 + 2
- OP
- AbPB
- FPB

all foreaem flexors except for FCU and medial FCP

carpal tunnel syndrome = median nerve entrapment = ape hand
