  2. ARM The arm is the region of the upper limb between the shoulder and the elbow. The arm is divided into two compartments by medial and lateral intermuscular septa. The anterior compartment of the arm contains muscles that predominantly flex the elbow joint; the posterior compartment contains muscles that extend the joint.

  3. Arm

  4. Anterior compartment Muscles : Coracobrachialis, brachialis, and biceps brachii Nerve: Musculocutaneous nerve.

  5. Biceps brachii Origin:Long head-supraglenoid tubercle of scapula Short head-apex of coracoid process Insertion: Radial tuberosity N. supply:Musculocutaneous nerve Action: Powerful flexor of the forearm at the elbow joint and supinator of the forearm.

  6. Coracobrachialis Origin: Apex of coracoid process Insertion: Medial aspect of shaft of humerus N. supply:Musculocutaneous nerve Action: Flexor of the arm at the gleno-humeral joint

  7. Brachialis Origin: Front of lower half of humerus Insertion:Coronoid process of ulna N. supply: Musculocutaneous nerve Action: Flexor of elbow joint

  8. Posterior compartment Muscle : Triceps brachii muscle Nerve: Radial nerve

  9. Triceps brachii muscle Origin:Long head-infraglenoid tubercle of scapula Medial head-posterior suface of humerus Lateral head-posterior surface of humerus Insertion:ULNA N. supply: RADIAL NERVE ACTION:Extensorof elbow joint

  10. Main arteries of the upper arm Brachial artery Branches of the brachial artery 1. Profundabrachii artery 2. Nutrient artery to the humerus 3. Superior ulnar collateral artery 4. Inferior ulnar collateral artery

  11. Veins of the arm. Basilic vein: becomes the axillary vein at the lower border of the teres major muscle Brachial veins: brachial veins join the basilic, or axillary vein. Cephalic vein: passes superiorly on the anterolateral aspect of the arm and through the anterior wall of the axilla to reach the axillary vein.

  12. Veins of the arm.

  13. Nerves 1. Musculocutaneous nerve 2. Radial nerve 3. Median nerve 4. Ulnar nerve

  14. Fractures of Humerus • Surgical Neck :Axillary Nerve • Mid Shaft :Radial Nerve • Supracondylar :Median Nerve • Medial Epicondyle :Ulnar Nerve

  15. SATURDAY NIGHT PALSY • Radial Nerve Injury in Axilla: • Mechanism: • Crutches pressing in axilla • Saturday night palsy! Main Effect: WRIST DROP

  16. Medial Epicondyle :Ulnar Nerve
