What is the relation of the median nerve to the brachialis?
+In the lower 1/2 of the arm it descends anterior to the brachialis,triceps and elbow joint to enter the forearm
+In the elbow (cubital fossa) it passes anterior to the insertion of brachialis
218
What are the vessels that are closely related to the median nerve during its course?
(1) Median cubital vein
In the elbow (Cubital fossa)the median nerve passes deep to the median cubital vein
(2)Ulnar artery
The median nerve leaves the cubital fossa between the two heads of pronator teres muscle crossing superficial to the ulnar artery from medial to lateral side and giving its anterior interosseous branch below this
