Pronator teres, Flexor carpi radialis, Palmaris longus, Flexor pollicis longus, Flexor digitorum superficialis, Pronator quadratus, Flexor digitorum profundus (lateral 1/2 to digits 2-3), Thenar muscles and Lumbricals to digits 2-3
What nerve innervates the anterior compartment of the forearm
Median nerve and Ulnar nerve
What nerve innervates the Posterior compartment of arm?
Radial nerve
What nerve innervates the Posterior compartment of forearm?
Radial nerve
What muscles do the Radial nerve innervate?
Triceps brachii (long, lateral and short head), Brachioradialis, Extensor carpi radialis longus, Extensor carpi radialis brevis, Anconeus, Supinator, Posterior interosseous, Abductor pollicis longus, Extensor carpi ulnaris, Extensor pollicis brevis, Extensor digiti minimi, Extensor pollicis longus, Extensor indicis, Extensor digitorum

What type of muscles make up the Anterior compartment of the arm?
Flexors
What type of muscles make up the Posterior compartment of the arm?
Extensors
What muscles are in the posterior compartment of arm?
Triceps brachii and Aconius
What muscles are in the anterior compartment of arm?
Biceps brachii, Brachioradialis and Coracobrachialis.
What are the origins of Biceps brachii?
Short head - tip of the coracoid process of Scapula
Long head - supraglenoid tubercle of the Scapula
“You walk shorter to a street corner. You ride longer on a superhighway.”:
· Short head originates from coracoid process.
· Long head originates from the supraglenoid cavity.
What are the insertions of Biceps brachii?
Tuberosity of the Radius
What are the functions of Biceps brachii?
Flexes the forearm, flexes arm (long head) and supinates
What innervates Biceps brachii?
Musculocutaneous nerve
What supplies blood to Biceps brachii?
Brachial artery
What are the origins of Coracobrachialis?
Coracoid process of Scapula
What are the insertions of Coracobrachialis?
Medial side of Humerus at mid-shaft
What are the functions of Coracobrachialis?
Flexes and adducts arm
What innervates Coracobrachialis?
Musculocutaneous nerve
What supplies blood to Coracobrachialis?
Brachial artery
What are the origins of Brachialis?
Anterior surface of the lower 1/2 of the Humerus
What are the insertions of Brachialis?
Coronoid process of the Ulna
What are the functions of Brachialis?
Flexes the forearm
