Origin, insertion, N.S & Action
Dual N.S
THE BICEPS BRACHII
• The biceps functions primarily as strong supinator of the forearm. This action,
which is aided by the supinator muscle, requires the elbow to be at least
partially flexed.
• The biceps also functions as an powerful flexor of elbow joint, particularly
when the forearm is supinated. Functionally, this action is performed when
lifting an object, such as a bag of groceries or when performing a biceps curl.
• Both these movements are used when opening a bottle with a corkscrew:
first biceps unscrews the cork (supination), then it pulls the cork out (flexion).
• If the elbow joint is fully extended, supination is then primarily carried out by
the supinator muscle.
• Weak flexor of shoulder joint.
Cont….
• When the forearm is
in pronation, the
brachialis, brachioradialis,
and supinator function to
flex the forearm, with
minimal contribution from
the biceps brachii.
Flexed arm in the pronated position
(left); with the biceps partially
contracted and in a supinated position
with the biceps more fully contracted,
approaching minimum length (right.)
Cont….
• The brachialis muscle is innervated by the
musculocutaneous nerve, which runs on its
superficial surface, between it and the biceps
brachii.
• Part of it is also innervated by the radial nerve
(proprioceptive branch).
• Action: Most powerful flexor at elbow joint
Cont….
• The coracobrachialis
draws the humerus
forward (shoulder
flexion) and towards
the torso (shoulder
adduction).

RELATIONS OF BRACHIAL ARTERY
Anteriorly: Superficial in the upper part, overlapped
laterally by coracobrachialis and biceps.
• Upper part; Medial cutaneous nerve of forearm
• Middle part; Median nerve
• Lower part; bicipital aponeurosis
Posteriorly: Triceps, coracobrachialis, brachialis
` Laterally: Upper part: Median nerve, coracobrachialis
and biceps.
Lower part: tendon of biceps
Medially: Upper part: ulnar nerve, basilic vein
Lower part: Median nerve
NERVES OF THE ANTERIOR
COMPARTMENT
MUSCULOCUTANEOUS NERVE
Origin
Course in arm
Branches:
1. Muscular
2. Cutaneous
3. Articular
MEDIAN NERVE
Origin
Course:
Branches:
Vasomotor branches to
brachial artery
ULNAR NERVE
Origin
Course in arm: pierces the
medial intermuscular
septum and passes
behind the medial
epicondyle
Branches: None
RADIAL NERVE
Origin
Course: in posterior the
compartment of arm and
enters the anterior
compartment just above
the lateral epicondyle by
piercing the lateral
intermuscular septum
Branches:
1. Muscular
2. Articular branches to
elbow joint

CONTENTS OF CUBITAL FOSSA
SUPRATROCHLEAR LYMPH NODES
• One or two supratrochlear lymph
nodes lie in superficial fascia over
the upper part of fascia.
• Are placed above the medial
epicondyle of humerus, medial to
the basilic vein.
• Their afferents drain
the middle, ring, and little fingers,
the medial portion of the hand, and
the medial side of the forearm.
• Their efferents enter the lateral
axillary lymph nodes
CLINICAL CORRELATES
• During blood pressure
measurements, the
stethoscope is placed
over the brachial
artery in the cubital
fossa.
• The brachial pulse may
be palpated in the
cubital fossa also just
medial to the tendon.
Cont…
• The area just superficial to the
cubital fossa is often used for
obtaining intravenous access for
the purpose of intravenous
therapy or for blood sampling.

Anterior compartment of cubital fossa and arm medicos notes.com

  • 1. ANTERIOR COMPARTMENT OF ARM & CUBITAL FOSSA FASCIAL COMPARTMENTS OF THE UPPER ARM
  • 2. CONTENTS OF ANTERIOR FASCIAL COMPARTMENT • Muscles • Blood vessels • Nerves • Structures passing through the compartment
  • 3. MUSCLES OF ANTERIOR COMPARTMENT
  • 5. THE BICEPS BRACHII • The biceps functions primarily as strong supinator of the forearm. This action, which is aided by the supinator muscle, requires the elbow to be at least partially flexed. • The biceps also functions as an powerful flexor of elbow joint, particularly when the forearm is supinated. Functionally, this action is performed when lifting an object, such as a bag of groceries or when performing a biceps curl. • Both these movements are used when opening a bottle with a corkscrew: first biceps unscrews the cork (supination), then it pulls the cork out (flexion). • If the elbow joint is fully extended, supination is then primarily carried out by the supinator muscle. • Weak flexor of shoulder joint.
  • 6. Cont…. • When the forearm is in pronation, the brachialis, brachioradialis, and supinator function to flex the forearm, with minimal contribution from the biceps brachii. Flexed arm in the pronated position (left); with the biceps partially contracted and in a supinated position with the biceps more fully contracted, approaching minimum length (right.)
  • 7. Cont…. • The brachialis muscle is innervated by the musculocutaneous nerve, which runs on its superficial surface, between it and the biceps brachii. • Part of it is also innervated by the radial nerve (proprioceptive branch). • Action: Most powerful flexor at elbow joint
  • 8. Cont…. • The coracobrachialis draws the humerus forward (shoulder flexion) and towards the torso (shoulder adduction).
  • 9. STRUCTURES PASSING THROUGH ANTERIOR FACIAL COMPARTMENT BRACHIAL ARTERY -2 Muscular branches-1 3- -4 -5
  • 10. RELATIONS OF BRACHIAL ARTERY Anteriorly: Superficial in the upper part, overlapped laterally by coracobrachialis and biceps. • Upper part; Medial cutaneous nerve of forearm • Middle part; Median nerve • Lower part; bicipital aponeurosis Posteriorly: Triceps, coracobrachialis, brachialis ` Laterally: Upper part: Median nerve, coracobrachialis and biceps. Lower part: tendon of biceps Medially: Upper part: ulnar nerve, basilic vein Lower part: Median nerve
  • 11. NERVES OF THE ANTERIOR COMPARTMENT
  • 12. MUSCULOCUTANEOUS NERVE Origin Course in arm Branches: 1. Muscular 2. Cutaneous 3. Articular
  • 14. ULNAR NERVE Origin Course in arm: pierces the medial intermuscular septum and passes behind the medial epicondyle Branches: None
  • 15. RADIAL NERVE Origin Course: in posterior the compartment of arm and enters the anterior compartment just above the lateral epicondyle by piercing the lateral intermuscular septum Branches: 1. Muscular 2. Articular branches to elbow joint
  • 20. SUPRATROCHLEAR LYMPH NODES • One or two supratrochlear lymph nodes lie in superficial fascia over the upper part of fascia. • Are placed above the medial epicondyle of humerus, medial to the basilic vein. • Their afferents drain the middle, ring, and little fingers, the medial portion of the hand, and the medial side of the forearm. • Their efferents enter the lateral axillary lymph nodes
  • 21. CLINICAL CORRELATES • During blood pressure measurements, the stethoscope is placed over the brachial artery in the cubital fossa. • The brachial pulse may be palpated in the cubital fossa also just medial to the tendon.
  • 22. Cont… • The area just superficial to the cubital fossa is often used for obtaining intravenous access for the purpose of intravenous therapy or for blood sampling.
