Week 4 Oral quiz flashcards Q5-9
Innervation of biceps brachii
Musculocutaneous n. C5-C7
Proximal attachment of biceps brachi
(short head) tip of coracoid process of scapula, (long head) supraglenoid tubercle of scapula
Distal attachment of biceps brachii
Tuberosity of radius and fascia of forearm via bicipital aponeurosis
Action of biceps brachii
supinates forearm, in supine position it flexes forearm; short head resists dislocation of shoulder
Innervation of coracobrachialis
Musculocutaneous n. C5-C7
Proximal attachment of coracobrachialis
tip of coracoid process of scapula
Distal attachment of coracobrachialis
middle third of medial surface of humerus
Action of coracobrachialis
helps flex and adduct arm; resists dislocation of shoulder
Innervation of brachialis
Musculocutaneous n. C5, C6/ Radial n. C5, C7
Proximal attachment of brachialis
distal half of anterior surface of humerus
Distal attachment of brachialis
coronoid process and tuberosity of ulna
Action of brachialis
Flexes forearm in all positions
What is the innervation of the posterior compartment of brachium?
Radial nerve
Proximal attachment of triceps brachii long head
Infraglenoid tuberosity of scapula
Distal attachement of triceps brachii
proximal end of olecranon of ulna and fascia of forearm
Action of triceps brachii
extensor of forearm, resists dislocation of humerus. Especially important during adduction
Proximal attachment of lateral head of triceps brachii
Posterior surface of humerus, superior to radial groove
Proximal attachement of medial head of triceps brachii
Posterior surface of humerus, inferior to radial groove
Proximal attachment of anconeus
lateral epicondyle of humerus
Distal attachment of anconeus
lateral surface of olecranon and superior part of posterior surface of ulna
Action of anconeus
Assists triceps in extending forearm; stabilizes the elbow joint; may abduct ulna during pronation
What are the 3 cords of the brachial plexus?
lateral, posterior, medial
Spinal level and terminal branches of lateral cord
musculocutaneous (C5-7) and median terminal branches
Spinal level and terminal branches of medial cord
axillary and radial terminal branches
