Week 2 Extensors Flashcards
Brachioradialis Origin
proximal two thirds of lateral supra-epicondylar ridge of humerus
Brachioradialis Insertion
lateral surface of distal end of radius proximal to styloid process
Brachioradialis Innervation
Radial nerve (C5, C6, C7)
Brachioradialis Action
weak flexion of elbow joint, maximal when forearm is in midpronated position
