Name the flexor muscles of the anterior ARM.
|
1 Biceps Brachii
2 Coracobrachialis 3 Brachialis |
|
Describe the Biceps Brachii, where they insert, and their function.
|
Long Head origin in the supraglenoid tubercle.
Short Head origin in the coracoid process. Both insert into the Radial Tuberosity. They FLEX the arm at elbow. |

Describe the coracobrachialis.
|
Origins in coracoid process (Coraco-)
Inserts in the humerus Fxn to flex and ADduct arm at shoulder. |
|
Describe the Brachialis.
|
Origin in humerus.
Insert in coranoid process. MAIN FLEXOR of arm |

|
Name the Posterior Extensor muscles.
|
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

|
9 tendons. 4 flexor digitorum superficialis, 4 flexor digitorum profundus, and 1 pollicis longus
|
|

|
The flexor retinaculum
|
|
What are the muscles that are superficial flexors in the forearm?
