forearm muscles
Question | action | Insertion | origin | description |
---|---|---|---|---|
what is the coracobrachialis | Flex the shoulder a(glenohumeral joint) Adduct the shouder(g/h joint | Medial surface of mid-humeral shaft | Coracoid process of the scapula | is a small tubular muscle located in the ax3illa. ex. armpit muscle. 2nd to flex/adduct the shoulder. deep in the pectoralis major&anterior deltoid. |
what is the biceps brachii | flex the elbow(humeroulnar joint)Supinate the forearm(radioulnar joint)flex the shoulder(glenohumeral jointP | tuberosity of the radius and aponeurosos of the biceps brachii | shorthead:coracoid process of scapula. Longhead:Supralenoid tubercle of scapula | biceps brachii lie superficially on the anterior arm. long head and short head merge to form a long oval belly.primary muscle of forearm supination. easily palpable |
what is the triceps brachii | all heads extend the elbow(humeroulnar joint)LongHead:extend the shoulder(glenohumeral jnt)Adduct the shoulder(g/h jnt) | Olecranon process of the ulna | LongHead:Infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula.Lateral Head:Posterior surface of proximal 1/2 of humerus. MedialHead:Posterior surface of distal 1/2 of humerous | Only muscle located on posterior arm.Creating an extention at the elbo and shoulder. it is antagonist at both these joints to the Bicep Brac. 3 heads, long, lateral medial. |
what is the brachialis | flex the elbow humeroulnar joint | tuberosity and coronoid process of ulna | distal half of anterior surface of humerus | is a strong elbow flexor that lies deep to the biceps brach. helps the biceps to bulge further from the arm, making it the biceps best friend. |
what is the brachioradialis | flex the elbow/humeroulnar jnt assist to pronate and supinate the forearm when these movements are resisted | styloid process of radius | lateral supracondylar ridge of humerus | superficial on the lateral side of forearm.forms a dividing line of flexors and extensors of wrist and hand. runs the length of forearms not cross the wrist joint. |
what is the supinator | supinate the forearm radioulnar joints | lateral surface of proximal shaft of the radius | radial collateral ligament annulanr ligament/supinator crest of the ulna | located on lateral side of elbow. short supinator is deep to 4arm extensors and superficial to the head of radius.it supinates the 4arm & is antagonist to the pronator teres |
what is the pronator teres | pronate forearm(radoiulnar joints. assist to flex elbow humeroulnar joint | middle of lateral surface of the radius | medial epicondyle of humerus, common flexor tendon and coronoid process of the ulna | anterior surface of the 4arm, round p teres is tucked between the brachioradialis and 4arm flexors. antagonist to the biceps brachii and supinator (carry bowl of soup)spill a bowl of soup |
what is the pronator quadratus | pronate the forearm radioulnar joints | lateral anterior surface of distal radius | medial anterior surface of distal ulna | capable pronator. transverse fibers lie deep to the flexor tendons and major nerve and blood vessels of anterior forearm. location of the radial artery. pulse |
wrist/hand:what is the extensor carpi radialis longus | extend the wrist radiocarpal joint abduct the wrist radiocarpal joint assist to flex the elbow humeroulnar joint | base of second metacarpal(pointer finger) | lateral supracondylar ridge of humerus | discussed as one muscle: it is lateral/posterior to the brachioradialis |
wrist/hand:what is the:extensor carpi radialis brevis | extend the wrist radiocarpal joint abduct the wrist radiocarpal joint assist to flex the elbow humeroulnar joint | base of third medacarpal(middle finger) | supracondylar ridge of humerus | |
wrist/hand:what is the:extensor carpi ulnaris | extend the wrist radiocarpal joint | base of the 5th metacarpal(outside of pinky nuckel area) | common extensor tendon from the lateral epicondyle of humerus. | lies beside the ulnar shaft. |
