Introduction to Anatomy of the Upper Limb:
The Upper Limb:
-
Four regions of the upper limb:
➢ Shoulder
➢ Arm – The region between the shoulder and the elbow
...
➢ Hand
-
The most commonly fractured areas are the:
➢ Clavicle
➢ Radius (Colles’ fracture)
➢ Scaphoid wrist bone
...
-
The two main veins of the forearm are the CEPHALIC and the BASILIC veins
...
-
ABOVE the elbow the BASILIC vein LEAVES the superficial compartment of
the arm and goes DEEP penetrating the DEEP FASCIA
...
-
The basilic vein then becomes the AXILLARY VEIN
...
Arteries of the Upper Limb:
-
The SUBCLAVIAN artery crosses the FIRST RIB to become the AXILLA
ARTERY
...
-
AXILLA artery descends down the humerus to become the BRACHIAL artery at
the LOWER BORDER OF TERES MAJOR
...
It is NOT in the forearm
...
Bifurcation can occur higher though
...
-
The ULNAR artery gives off a ULNAR RECURRENT artery (which becomes the
ULNAR collateral in the arm)
...
➢ INFERIOR
+
SUPERIOR
ULNAR
collaterals
...
-
The radial
artery
gives off a RADIAL
RECURRENT artery which becomes the radial
collateral in the arm
...
