the anterior compartment of the arm houses mainly what type of muscle and what innervation?
the anterior compartment has preaxial muscles, indicating flexors and adductors, and the main innervation is done by C6 spinal nerve, all from the musculocutaneous.
What are the muscles in the anterior compartment of the arm?
Biceps Brachii
Brachialis
Coracobrachialis
the posterior compartment of the arm houses mainly what type of muscle and what innervation?
the posterior compartment houses postaxial muscles which indicated ABductor and extensor muscles, and the main innervation is from C7, both from the radial nerve.
What are the muscles in the posterior compartment of the arm?
Triceps brachii
Anconeus
This picture demonstrates the relationship between muscle compartments and their main innervations using a preaxial/postaxial categorization.
Name the nerve for each muscle group and its main spinal nerve contribution.
What pierces the coracobrachialis muscle?
What is the coracobrachialis muscle innervated by?
Musculocutaneous - C6
what do the biceps do when the elbow is flexed?
when supinated,flex elbow,
when pronated, it becomes the most powerful supinator
What do the biceps do when the arm is extended?
simple forarm flexor
what is the most powerful forearm flexor?
brachialis
what does the coracobrachialis do?
help flex the arm, adducts the arm, major stabilizer, (so humerus doesnt fall out)
reflex hammer on the opposite side of the elbow tests what spinal nerve?
C6, of the musculocutaneous
what are the main actions of the triceps brachii?
Main Actions
Forearm extensor
Can also adduct the arm
Long head resists humoral dislocation
What abducts the ulna during pronation?
anconeus
Where is the anconeus?
Origin – Lateral epicondyle of humerus
Insertion – Lateral surface of olecranon and superior aspect of posterior ulna
What does the anconeus do?
Slight forearm extensor
Elbow stabilizer
Abducts ulna during pronation
WHat would an injury to the radial nerve in the radial groove cause?
Injury to the radial nerve in the radial groove results in partial triceps paralysis because only the medial head is affected. However, the extensor muscles supplied by the nerve distally will be paralyzed.
This effect is seen clinically as “wrist drop” because of the unopposed tonus of the flexor muscles.
What is "wrist drop" a sign of?
Injury to the radial nerve in the radial groove results in partial triceps paralysis because only the medial head is affected. However, the extensor muscles supplied by the nerve distally will be paralyzed.
Both deep and superficial veins ultimately drain into the ____ vein near the root of the neck
subclavian
Venipuncture is usually accomplished in the _____ _____ vein overlying the cubital fossa
median cubital
