1. 1. How are the anterior compartment muscles established?
In 3 layers
Intermediate
Deep
Superficial

2. 2. ...the muscles of the superficial layer?
flexor carpi
radialis
ulnaris
palmaris longus
pronator teres
Medial
epicondyle
of humerus
Pisiform

3. 3. ..the muscles of the intermediate and deep layers?
Intermediate layer
flexor digitorum superficialis
Deep layer
flexor digitorum profundus
flexor pollicis longus
pronator quadratus
Middle phalanx
- shaft
Distal phalanx-base
Distal phalanx
-base

4. 4. How is the arterial supply of the anterior compartment?
Inf. border of teres major
Axillary artery
Till where?
Brachial artery
Bracihal artery divides into
Ulnar artery (medial)
Radial artery (lateral)
Neck of the radius

5. 5. Which veins do you see in the anterior compartment?
(Paired) Deep veins accompanying veins plentiful in the forearm.
arise from the anastomosing deep venous palmar arch in the hand.
drain into brachial veins in the cubital fossa.

6. 6. ...the median nerve in the anterior compartment?
principal nerve
no branches in the arm other than small twigs to the brachial artery.
Its major branch in the forearm anterior interosseous nerve
Leaves the cubital fossa by passing between 2 heads of the pronator teres and humero-ulnar and radial heads of the flexor digitorum superficialis.

7. 7. ...the ulnar nerve in the anterior compartment?
Enters the anterior compartment by passing posteriorly around
medial epicondyle of humerus and between humeral and ulnar heads of flexor carpi ulnaris muscle
Two small cutaneous branches; palmar branch & dorsal branch

8. 8. ....the radial nerve in the anterior compartment?
motor and sensory functions in both arm & forearm
(but only sensory functions in the hand)
in the forearm
Superficial (sensory)
deep to brachioradialis
deep (motor)
between two heads of supinator

9. 9. What are the boundaries of the cubital fossa?
Superiorly imaginary line connecting medial &lateral epicondyles.
Medially pronator teres.
Laterally brachioradialis.

10. 10. ...the contents of the cubital fossa?
1) Terminal part of the brachial artery,radial and ulnar arteries
2) Biceps brachii tendon
3) Median nerve
4) Radial nerve
5) (Deep) accompanying veins of the arteries

11. 11...the contents of the cubital fossa?
Superficially, in the subcutaneous tissue overlying the fossa
median cubital vein,
medial and lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerves
basilic and cephalic veins.

12. 12. ....nerves in the cubital fossa?
median nerve lies immediately medial to the brachial artery and leaves the fossa by passing between the ulnar and humeral heads of the pronator teres muscle.
radial nerve lies under brachioradialis
(lateral margin of the fossa)
gives off deep branch of the radial nerve and continues as superficial radial nerve.
