 Superiorly = conditional line connecting the
lower borders of the pectoralis major muscle
and latissimus dorsi.
 Inferiorly = conditional line passing above
epicondyles on two transverse finger.
 It is divide into anterior and posterior by two
vertical line drowing up from epicondyles.
 Laterally and medially sulcuses are located
on skin.
 Deep fascia form sheath for muscles and
neurovascular bundles.
 It form two fascial septa, and with humerus
form two fasical compartments.
 Sulcuses are located btw muscles of anterior
and posterior facial compartments.
 Skin is thin and mobile.
 Lateral surface is supplied by lower lateral
cutaneous nerve of arm (radial nerve branch)
below the deltoid.
 Medially by medial cutaneous nerve and
intercostobrachial nerves.
 Subcutaneous tissue contain cutaneous
nerve.
 Btw superficial and deep fascia superficial
veins lies.
 Lateral side of biceps = Cephalic vein
ascends, reaching infraclavicular fossa,
pierces clavipectoral fascia to drains into
axillary vein.
 Medially side = Basilica vein ascends, pierces
the deep fascia and contribute to formation
of axillary vein.
 Superficial lymph vessels draining superficial
tissue of upper arm pass upward to axilla.
 Cephalic vein follow to interclavicular group
of nodes on lateral side.
 Basilica vein follow to lateral group of axillary
nodes.
 Deep lymphatic vessels draining the muscles
and deep structure of arm drain into lateral
group of axillary nodes.
 Brachial fascia surround the arm, where
anterior side is thin and posterior is thick.
 It gives lateral intermuscular septum that
extends from the lateral lip of intertubercularis
sulcus to the lateral epicondyle.
 Medial intermuscular septum extends from
medial lip of intertubercularis sulcus to medial
epicondyle.
 These septum gives anterior and posterior
flexor/fascial compartment.
 Anterior fascial compartment formed anterior
by deep fascia, posteriorly by humerus ,
medially and laterally by intermuscular septa.
 It contains biceps brachii, coracobrachialis
and brachialis muscles.
Musculocutaneous, median and ulnar nerve
brachial artery and basilica vein.
 Radial nerve present on lower part of
compartment.
 Skin is thick and mobile.
 Supplied by upper lateral cutaneous nerve of
arm (branch of axillary nerve) and posterior
cutaneous nerve of arm( branch of radial
nerve).
 Superficial fascia is thin.
 Deep and brachial fascia is thick on posterior
facial compartment than on anterior region.
 Posterior fascial compartment formed by
anteriorly by humerus, posteriorly by deep
fascia, medially and laterally by intermuscular
septa.
 Profunda brachii artery and its branch, vein
and radial nerve pass through posterior
fascial compartment.
 Ulnar nerve present in lower part of
compartment.
