Brachial artery
Brachial vein
Musculocutaneous
What is the artery, vein and nerve supply for the posterior compartment of the arm?
Profunda brachii
Profunda brachii
Radial nerve
What is the artery, vein and nerve supply for the anterior compartment of the forearm?
Radial, ulnar artery
Venae comitantes
Median (+ulnar)
What is the artery, vein and nerve supply for the posterior compartment of the forearm?
Interosseous artery
Venae comitantes
Radial nerve
What is the artery and nerve supplying the hand?
Deep and superficial palmar arches
Ulnar (+ median = LOAF)
What artery becomes the superficial palmar arch?
ULnar
What artery becomes the deep palmar arch?
Radial
What connects the cephalic vein (lateral) and basilic medially?
Median cubital vein
What type of synovial joint involves flat articular surfaces and movement in one plane (gliding surface over the other)?
Synovial plane (gliding) - intertarsal joints
What type of synovial joint involves one surface concave and one convex and has movement in one plane (around one axis only) - flexion/extension?
Synovial hinge joints
What synovial joints involve one surface concave and one convex, movement in two planes (flexion/extension, adduction/abduction, circumduction), are circular (condyloid) or ellipse shaped (ellipsoid) in cross section?
Synovial condyloid/ellipsoid joints - e.g. metacarpophalangeal, wrist
What type of synovial joints involve one surface convex, one concave, but axes different - movement is rotation about longitudinal axis?
Synovial pivot joints
Give an example of a synovial pivot joint?
Superior and inferior radioulnar
What type of synovial joint is reciprocally concavoconvex (saddles at right angles to each other) and has movements about three axes (extension/flexion, abduction/adduction, opposition)?
SyNOVIAL SADDLE
What type of joint is first carpometacarpal joint?
Synovial saddle
