Triceps Brachii
Anconeus
Describe the three heads of the Triceps Brachii
Long Head - infraglenoid tubercle
Lateral Head- upper humerus
Medial Head- lower humerus
Think of going down the arm. And L comes before M.
Long, Lateral, Medial
What innervates the posterior extensor muscles?
The radial nerve.
What muscle orgins in the supraglenoid tubercle?
The long head of the biceps.
What muscles are innervated by the musculocutaneous n?
The anterior arm flexors.
What muscle(s) inserts into the radial tuberosity?
The long and short head of the biceps brachii
What muscles origin in the coracoid process?
Short head of the biceps and the coracobrachialis.
What muscles insert into the coranoid process?
The brachialis.
Describe the first part of the axillary artery.
The first part is b/t the first rib and the medial border of the pec minor.
One branch-Superior Thoracic a.
Describe the second part of the axillary artery.
Posterior to the pec minor. (Behind it).
Two branches- Lateral Thoracic and the Thoracoacromial a
Describe the third part of the axillary artery.
From lateral border of pec minor to inferior border of teres major
3 branches- Subscapular a.
Posterior and Anterior circumflex humeral arteries
What part of the axillary artery does the superior thoracic artery origin?
first part
What part of the axillary artery does the subscapular artery branch?
the third part
Describe what muscles make up the triangular space.
The teres major, subscapularis, and the long head of the triceps.
What is the circumflex scapular artery?
The artery that passes thru the triangular space. It contributes to a network of vessels around the scapula
(Picture)
Where does the brachial artery begin?
The inferior border of the teres major muscle. it starts medially in the proximal arm, and then moves laterally in the distal arm. ends in cubital fossa
What are the superior and inferior collateral ulnar arteries?
They branch from the brachial artery in the ARM.
What does the brachial artery give rise to in the ARM?
the deep artery of the arm, and the superior and inferior ulnar collateral arteries
What is the largest branch of the brachial artery?
The profundus femoriis.
(gives rise to radial collateral arteries)
What is the median nerve accompanied by in the cubital fossa?
The brachial artery
Which artery is more superficial, the radial or the ulnar?
radial is more superficial.
the ulnar is deeper to the FDS (flexor digitorum superficialis)
The best roommate ever
Elizabeth C. Fegely
Grossest thing to wake up to
Cockroaches
What does the ulna articulate with?
The trochlea of the humerus
What tendons go through the carpal tunnel?
9 tendons. 4 flexor digitorum superficialis, 4 flexor digitorum profundus, and 1 pollicis longus
What ligament makes the carpal tunnel?
The flexor retinaculum
What are the muscles that are superficial flexors in the forearm?
Pronator teres
Flexor carpi radialis
Flexor carpi ulnaris
Palmeris Longus
What are the superficial flexors innervated by?
Median nerve except FCU
What are the deep flexor muscles?
Flexor Digitorum profundus
pronator quadratus
flexor pollicis longus
What is the intermediate flexor muscle?
Flexor digitorum superficialis
What does the palmar carpal ligament do?
Holds the tendons of the flexor muscles in place...along with the flexor retinaculum.
What is the CFO?
Common Flexor Origin...
medial epicondyle
What is the main pronator of the flexor muscles?
the pronator quadratus. (deep)
What is the difference between the superficial radial nerve and the deep radial nerve?
Superficial is mostly sensory.
Deep pierces supinator and becomes the posterior interosseous nerve.
What does the median nerve innervate?
All flexor muscles except the flexor carpi ulnaris and 1/2 medial of flexor digitorum profundus.
What are the boundaries of the antaomical snuff box?
ABductor pollicis longus (deeper)
Extensor pollicis brevis
Extensor pollicis longus
