Coracobrachialis is originated in
The tip of coracoid process of scapula
The insertion of the coracobrachialis is
the middle third of medial surface of humerus
The coracobrachialis innervates the
musculocutaneous nerve
The function of the coracobrachialis is to
help flex and adduct the arm at the shoulder
The posterior compartment of the arm is also know as the
Extensor compartment
The muscles of the posterior compartment include
3 heads of the triceps muscle
The anconeus
The nerve supply to the posterior compartment of the arm comes from the
Radial nerve
The blood supply for the posterior compartment of the arm comes from
Profunda brachii & Ulnar collateral arteries
The two structures that pass through the posterior compartment of the arm include
Radial & Ulnar nerve
Triceps Brachii originate at 3 different places
Infraglenoid tubercle of scapula (long head)
Posterior surface of humerus (lateral head)
Posterior surface of humerus inferior to radial groove (medial head)
The insertion of the triceps brachii is
Proximal end of the olecranon of ulna
Fascia of Forearm
The triceps brachii is innervated by
The Radial nerve
The function of the triceps brachii is
Extension of forearm at elbow
Chief extensor of elbow
Steadies head of abducted humerus (long head)
The anconeus originates at
the lateral epicondyle of humerus
The insertion of the Anconeus is
The lateral surface of olecranon and superior part of posterior surface of ulna
The Anconeus is innervated by the
Radial nerve
The function of the Anconeus is
Assisting triceps in extension of elbow
Abduct ulna during pronation
The artery of the arm is
The brachial artery
This artery extends from the inferior border of the teres major muscle to just below the anterior elbow (where it divides into the ulnar and radial arteries)
The brachial artery
The Brachial Artery Branch
Begins at inferior border of the teres major and ends at its bifurcation in cubital fossa
The Deep artery branch of the arm
Runs with radial nerve around humeral shaft
The Superior Ulnar Collateral Branch
Runs with ulnar nerve
The Inferior Ulnar Collateral Branch
Passes anterior to medial epicondyle of humerus
The Radial Branch
Is smaller lateral terminal branch of brachial artery
The Ulnar Branch
is larger medial terminal branch of brachial artery
The Cephalic Vein of the Arm
Ascends in the superficial fascia on the lateral sides of the biceps
This vein drains into the axillary vein at the infraclavicular fossa
The Cephalic Vein
The Basilic Vein
Ascends in the superficial fascia on the medial side of the biceps
This vein pierces the deep fascia halfway up the arm and at the lower border of the teres major and joins the venae comitantes of the brachial artery to form the axillary vein
The Basilic Vein
The Median Nerve
Supplies flexor muscles on the radial side of the forearm
This nerve travels with the brachial artery
It is lateral to artery in upper half of brachium
It is medial to artery in lower half of brachium
Median Nerve
This nerve crosses the cubital fossa superficially
And is deep to bicipital aponeurosis
Median Nerve
The Musculocutaneous Nerve
Pierces coracobrachialis in upper half or third of brachium
This nerve innervates muscles of anterior brachial compartment
Musculocutaneous Nerve
This nerve pierces fascia lateral to biceps tendon
Continues as lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm
Supplies skin on lateral forearm as far as wrist
Musculocutaneous nerve
The Ulnar Nerve
supplies flexor muscles on the ulnar side of the forearm
This nerve starts in anterior brachial compartment
Medial to brachial artery
Runs with superior ulnar collateral artery
Ulnar Nerve
The Ulnar Nerve
Pierces medial intermuscular septum
enters posterior compartment of the brachium
passes around (superficial) medial epicondyle
Passes into forearm between two heads of flexor carpi ulnaris muscle
