Upper Limb 2 Flashcards
Suspensory ligament of axilla
Part of the pectoralis minor that supports the axillary fascia and pulls it and the skin inferior to it upward during abduction of the arm, forming the axillary fossa
Costocoracoid membrane
Part of the clavipectoral fascia between the pectoralis minor and subclavius
It is pierced by the lateral pectoral nerve
Passes anterior to the clavicle, immediately deep to the platysma, and supply the skin over the clavicle and the superolateral aspect of pectoralis major
Supraclavicular (C3, C4)
A branch of the radial nerve, supplies the skin on the posterior surface of the arm
Posterior cutaneous nerve of the arm (C5-C8)
Branch of the radial nerve, supplies the skin on the posterior surface of the forearm
Posterior cutaneous nerve of forearm (C5-C8)
Terminal branch of the axillary nerve, emerges from beneath the posterior margin of the deltoid to supply the skin over the lower part of this muscle and on the lateral side of the midarm
Superior lateral cutaneous nerve of the arm (C5, C6)
