Origin : 1- long head:
supraglenoid tubercle of
the scapula within the
shoulder joint . 2- Short
head : Tip of the
coracoid process in
common with the
coracobrachialis
Insertion : 1- by a strong
tendon into the posterior
rough part of the radial
tuberosity . 2- by the bicipital
aponeurosis arises from the
tendon of the biceps to blend
with the deep fascia of the
forearm .
Action : Both heads Supination
of the flexed forearm Flexion of
the elbow joint The short head
is a weak flexor of the shoulder
joint The long head prevents
the upward dislocation of the
shoulder joint
Nerve supply :
Musculocutaneous
nerve .
Coracobrachialis
Origin : Tip of the coracoid
process , in common with the
short head of the biceps .
Insertion : Middle of
medial border of the
humerus .
Action : Flexion
and adduction
of the arm .
Nerve supply :
Musculocutaneous
Nerve.
Brachilis
Origin : Lower ½ of the
front of the humerus
Lateral and medial
intermuscular septa
Insertion :
Ulnar
tuberosity
Action : Flexion
of the elbow
Nerve supply :
Musculocutaneous
nerve Radial nerve
supplies a small
lateral part
Triceps Brachii
Origin : Long head: infraglenoid tubercle of the
scapula Lateral head: upper ½ of the posterior surface
of the shaft of the humerus above the spiral groove
of the scapula Medial head : posterior surface of the
lower ½ of the shaft of the humerus below the spiral
groove , back of lateral and medial intermuscular
septa
Insertion : The 3 heads
fuse together in a
common tendon . Into
the posterior part of
the upper surface of
the olecranon process
of the ulna
Action : Powerful extensor of
the elbow joint Its main
function is to keep the elbow
extended when one is pushing
an object
Nerve supply : Each
head receives a separate
branch from the radial
nerve
Arteries
Brachial artery
Origin: continuation
of the axillary at the
lower border of the
teres major .
Course; Passes
downwards and
laterally from the
medial side of the
humerus to the front
of the arm .
Termination
Opposite the
neck of the
radius by dividing
into radial and
ulnar arteries.

compartment
of
the
arm
AXILLARY
passes infront the subscapular muscle,
to the quadritriangular space into the
posterior side of humerus where is
meets it companion posterior
circumflex humaeral artery and
surrounds surgical neck of humerus. so
any fracutre will not only lead to
hemorrhage but also to damage to this
nerve therefore damage to deltoid and
teres minor movements. while the
radial nerve will move backword
through the lower quadrangular
space.
Radial
Origin: arises
from lower
anterior half
of humerus
.insertion:ulna
tuberosity
posterior cord
of brachial
plexus
sensory
innervates the
posterior side of
forearms and
arms.
motor
extension
of triceps
Arises from brachial plexus in
root of neck and under the cervix
to behind the humerus forming
circumflex by passing through
the lower triangular spaceand
then goes anteriorly into the
lateral side of brachialis muscle
then continous into the forearms
as superficial radial nerve to
supply foramrs muscles like
brachioradialis muscle and more
Musculocatanous
root value: c5-c6-c7 (lateral cord)
no circumflex unlike the radial
and axillary.
supplying: bbc muscles : first branch
–coracobrachialis second branch-biceps
third and last branch-brachials. and then
supplies the lateral skin or cutanous of
forearms as it continous. not seen only
when biceps are removed!!
Ulnar
ulnar nerve is in very
dangerous site cuz its
exactly in the elbow joint.
so if u had any frature of
dislocation of elbow joint
then u ulnar nerve is
most prone to any sort of
damage like hemorrhage.
Supplies the
last two
fingers of
the hand
Median
(lateral and medial cord)
no single branch in the arm
it does supply or innervate
the first 2 fingers on
lateral side (thumb). the
last 2 fingers by ulner
nerve. it is anterior to the
medial epicondyl or it sits
on the coronoid fossa
while the ulner nerve is
posterior to medial
epicondyl or postrior to
coronoid fossa. (it will
enter coronoid fossa most
medially)
Bones
Bone cells
Osteocyte
Maintains bone
tissue +play a role
in deposition of
calcium
Osteoblast
Forms bone matrix+ have
receptors for the
parathyroid hormone and
found where active bone
is being formed.
Osteogenic
stem cell
In low O2 tension they
may change into
chondrogenic cells
