Upper Limb Back 2 Flashcards
Bones of the forearm
Radius; Olna
Articulation at proximal radioulnar joint
articulation between radius and ulnar that facilitates pronation & supination
capitulum
point of articulation for humerus and radius
trochlea
point of articulation for humerus and ulna
Ligaments of the elbow
Ulna collateral; radial collateral; annular ligament
3 Types of bones of the hand
carpals; metacarpals; phalanges
carpal bones
scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, hamate, capitate, trapezoid, trapezium
Articulation at wrist joint
scaphoid & lunate articulate with radius
Fascia
layer of connective tissue that organizes muscle groups
Muscles of the anterior compartment of the arm
biceps brachii; brachialis muscle; coracobrachialis
osteology of proximal humerus
greater tuberosity; lesser tuberosity; intertubercular groove
osteology of mid humerus
deltoid tuberosity
osteology of distal humerus
lateral epicondyle; coronoid fossa; medial epicondyle; trochlea; capitulum; olecranon fossa
interosseous membrane (forearm)
strong fibrous tissue that hold together the ulna and radius
Osteology of proximal radius
radial head; radial tuberosity
osteology of distal radius
styloid process of radius
osteology of proximal ulna
trochlear notch; coronoid process; olecranon; ulnar tuberosity
osteology of distal ulna
head of ulna; styloid process of the ulna
muscles of anterior arm
brachialis; biceps brachii; coracobrachialis
innervation of anterior compartment
musculocutaneous nerve
muscle action of anterior arm
flexors of elbow and shoulder joints
muscle of posterior arm
triceps brachii
innervation of posterior arm
radial nerve
muscle action of posterior arm
extensor of shoulder and elbow joints
