Upper Limb Flashcards
Which muscle inserts into the radial tuberosity
Biceps brachii
Common site of origin for flexor muscles of forearm
Medial epicondyle of humerus
Which 3 muscles attach to the corcaoid process of the scapula
Short head of biceps brachii (origin)
Pectoralis minor (insertion)
Corachobrachialis (origin)
Which combination of muscles would act strongly to addict the hand at the wrist
Extensor carpi ulnaris
Flexor carpi ulnaris
What is the head of the humerus bone covered with
Hyaline cartilage
Which muscle has attachment to a tubercle just below the glenoid fossa of the scapula
(Long head of) Triceps brachii
Attaches to infraglenoid fossa
Is pissoform on radial or ulnar side of hand
Ulnar
Insertion of pectoralis major
Greater tubercle of humerus/lateral lip of inter tubercular sulcus of humerus
Deltoid innervation
Axillary nerve
Teres minor innervation
Axillary nerve
Insertion of deltoid
Deltoid tuberosity of humerus
Teres minor insertion
Greater tubercle of humerus
Teres major insertion
medial lip of intertubercular groove
Teres minor origin
Lateral border of scapula
Teres major origin
Inferior angle of scapula
Biceps brachii insertion of origin
Origin: long head = supraglenoid tubercle of scapula
Short head = corcaoid process of scapula
Insertion = radial tuberosity
Brachialis innervation
Musculocutaneous nerve and radial nerve
Brachialis insertion
Coronoid process on ulna
Anconeous origin and insertion
Origin = lateral epicondyle of humerus Insertion = olecranon process of ulna
Action of pectoralis major
adduction, medial rotation and flexion of the humerus at the shoulder joint
Subclavian insertion and origin
Originates from 1st costochondral joint
Inserts into middle third of clavicle
Action of subclavius muscle
pulls clavicle medially to stabilise the sternoclavicular joint
depresses tip of shoulder
Pectoralis minor origin and insertion
Origin = ribs 3,4,5 and deep fascia Insertion = coracoid process of scapula
Action of pec minor
depress tip of shoulder
protract scapula
Serratus anterior origin and insertion
Origin = ribs 3-8 Insertion = medial border of deep surface of scapula
Action of Serratus anterior
holds scapula against ribcage to prevent winging of the inferior angle fo the scapula
innervation of pectoralis minor
medial pectoral nerves
origin and insertion of serratus anterior
origin: ribs 3-8
insertion: internal surface of medial border of scapula
serrates anterior innervation
long thoracic nerve
innervation of subclavius
nerve to subclavius - branches superior trunk in brachial plexus
pectoralis major innervation
medial and lateral pectoral nerves
pectoralis major origin
medial half of clavicle, anterior surface of sternum, first 7 costal cartilages, aponeurosis of external oblique
