sheet # 8

Posterior compartment of the upper arm
Made of one muscle only: Triceps Muscle:
· Muscle with 3 heads forming the posterior compartment.
· Origin:
o Long head ( which is the most medial in position): infraglenoid tubercle of scapula.
o Lateral head: posterior surface of humerus above the radial groove.
o Medial head: posterior surface of humerus below the radial groove.
· Insertion: olecranon process of ulna.
· Nerve supply: radial nerve.
· Action: extension of elbow + long head acts on shoulder causing adduction.
· Arterial supply: profunda (deep) brachii artery.






***********





Revision of axilla
· Superficial veins in the upper limb are two in number:
1. Cephalic vein (upper)
§ Found in the superficial fascia.


2. Basilic vein (lower)
§ Found in the superficial fascia, and in the middle of the upper arm it leaves the superficial fascia deep to the deep fascia.


Ø Both end at the axillary vein.
· Axillary vein:


o Starts at the union of basilic vein with deep veins of brachial artery (the base of brachial artery), these veins accompany the brachial artery and commit themselves for that artery, that’s why they are called venae comitantes (singular: vena comitans)


o Only deep arteries in the body have accompanying veins (venae comitantes) which are two in number, because they are hard workers.


o While superficial arteries are accompanied by only one vein.


o After the mentioned union, the axillary vein continues in the axilla then it will end at the outer border of the 1st rib where it receives cephalic vein to continue as subclavian vein.


o Axillary vein accompanies the axillary artery throughout its course but in reverse direction.
Upper arm arterial supply


· Brachial artery:
o Starts at the lower border of teres major.
o It ends at the opposite neck of radius by dividing into radial artery (lateral) & ulnar artery (medial).
o Supplies the upper arm through 3 branches:
1. Deep brachial artery:
§ Called profunda (= deep in Latin) artery.
§ Supplies mainly posterior compartment of the upper arm.
2. Superior ulnar collateral artery:
§ Collateral = companion.
3. Inferior ulnar collateral artery:
Ø Both 2 and 3 accompany the ulnar nerve through its course.

Wrist Bones (carpals)







· Carpal bones are 8 in number
· They are divided into 2 raws; proximal & distal each raw made of 4 bones, which have concave anterior surface (aspect), and convex posterior surface.
· They are examples of short bones.
1. Proximal raw (from lateral to medial)
I. Scaphoid (boat like)
II. Lunate (moon like)
III. Triquetrum (cube shaped)
IV. Pisiform
2. Distal raw (from lateral to medial)
I. Trapezium
II. Trapezoid
III. Capitates
IV. Hamate

Metacarpals
· = after carpals
· 5 in number
· Named from lateral to medial (thumb to little) 1 à 5
Phalanges
· 2 for the thumb: proximal & distal
· 3 for the others: proximal, middle & distal.
**********
Cubital fossa
· Triangular space anterior to the elbow joint.
· Importance: in surgery you recognize what are the structures you will cut and what you will avoid.
· Borders:
§ Lateral border: contains brachioradialis muscle
o Origin: brachium
o Insertion: radius.
§ Medial border: contains pronator teres muscle.
§ Base: contains interepicondylar line.
· Roof: skin, superficial + deep fascia, median cubital vein.
o Median cubital vein:
§ It is a connection between cephalic (lateral), basilic (medial) at the roof
§ A common vein used to obtain samples of blood or to give fluids, drugs or blood. That’s why we tie it, because we want to stop the pathway of the blood.
§ New born children:
o Fat in superficial fascia is brown (while in adults it’s white or yellow), because there are many nuclei.
o We obtain blood from head (scarple) using a needle called butterfly.
· Floor: supinator muscle (lateral), brachialis ( medial)
· Contents (from medial to lateral)
§ medial nerve.
§ Brachial artery and branches.
§ Biceptal tendon (tendon of the biceps)
§ Radial nerve.

Forearm
· Divided into 2 compartments by 2 intermuscular septi (singular: septum) from the deep fascia:
§ Anterior compartment:
o Called flexor pronator group (or compartment)
o Most originate from medial epicondyle of humerus (CFO: Common Flexor Origin)
o All supplied by median nerve except 1 and half by ulnar nerve.
§ Posterior compartment:
o Called extensor supinator group ( or compartment)
o Most originate from lateral epicondyle of humerus (CEO: Common Extensor Origin)
o All supplied by radial nerve




**********





Anterior Forearm
· Muscles are divided into 3 divisions : superficial (S), intermediate (M), deep (D)
· Deep:
Superficial :
§ 1s: pronator teres:
o Nerve supply: median nerve
o Action: pronator of forearm
§ 2s: Palmaris longus:
o nerve supply: median nerve
o action: flexion of wrist
§ 3s: flexor carpi radialis:
o Nerve supply: median nerve
o Action: flexion and abduction of wrist
§ 4s: flexor carpi ulnaris:
o Nerve supply: ulnar nerve
o Action: flexion & adduction of wrist






Middle :
§ M: flexor digitorum superficialis:
o Origin: medial epicondyle
o Insertion: it divides into 4 tendons to the medial 4 fingers where it is inserted to the middle phalanges.
o Action: flex medial 4 fingers.
o Nerve supply: median nerve.
