Where is the biceps brachii located in the upper limb?
Occupies the anterior, superficial aspect of the upper arm and becomes the bicipital tendon distally.
Where is pronator teres located?
Located in the anterior forearm; it is the most proximal and anterior of the flexor muscles arising from the medial epicondyle.
Where is pronator quadratus located?
Located in the distal forearm bridging the radius and ulna.
What is the EI tendon?
An extensor tendon in the posterior forearm associated with extension of the index finger.
What is the bicipital tendon and where does it go?
The distal tendon of the biceps that passes toward the radial tuberosity.
Where is FCR and its tendon located?
FCR is an anterior forearm flexor; its tendon runs toward the wrist and attaches to carpals/metacarpals.
What is the transverse carpal ligament?
A ligament that bridges the carpal bones to form the carpal tunnel.
What is the EDM tendon?
An extensor tendon that extends the little finger located in the posterior forearm/wrist.
Where is the triceps located?
Occupies the posterior aspect of the upper arm with tendons inserting on the olecranon.
Where is the supinator located?
Wraps around the proximal radius in the proximal forearm.
What is the ED tendon?
An extensor tendon that extends the digits and runs in the posterior forearm.
What is the thenar eminence?
A group of muscles forming the lateral bulge of the palm at the base of the thumb.
Where is brachioradialis located?
Located on the lateral side of the forearm arising from the supracondylar ridge.
What are the FDS tendons?
Flexor digitorum superficialis tendons that pass through the carpal tunnel to the fingers.
What is the ECU tendon?
An extensor tendon on the ulnar side of the wrist in the posterior forearm.
What is the hypothenar eminence?
A group of muscles forming the medial bulge of the palm at the base of the little finger.
Where is brachialis located?
Located deep to the biceps in the anterior arm.
What are the FDP tendons?
Flexor digitorum profundus tendons that pass through the carpal tunnel to the distal phalanges.
What is the APL tendon?
A tendon in the first extensor compartment that abducts the thumb.
What is adductor pollicis?
A deep muscle in the hand that attaches to the first metacarpal and adducts the thumb.
Where is ECRL and its tendon located?
Located on the lateral forearm; its tendon extends the wrist and runs in the posterior compartment.
What is the FPL tendon?
Flexor pollicis longus tendon that passes through the carpal tunnel to the thumb.
What is the EPB tendon?
A tendon in the first dorsal compartment that extends the thumb.
What is the 1st dorsal interosseous?
A muscle located between the first and second metacarpals on the dorsal hand.
Where is ECRB and its tendon located?
Located in the posterior forearm arising from the lateral epicondyle; its tendon extends the wrist.
Where is the anconeus located?
A small muscle on the posterolateral elbow attached to the ulna.
What is the EPL tendon?
A tendon that extends the thumb and runs in the third extensor compartment.
What are the interosseous muscles?
Muscles located between the metacarpals that assist with finger movement.
What is the trochlea?
A medial distal humerus structure that articulates with the ulna.
What is the olecranon fossa?
A depression on the posterior distal humerus that accommodates the olecranon.
What is the proximal radioulnar joint?
A joint between the radius and ulna allowing rotational movement.
What is the radial neck?
The narrowed region just distal to the radial head.
What is the capitellum?
A lateral distal humerus structure that articulates with the radial head.
What is the coronoid process?
An anterior projection of the ulna that fits into the trochlea.
What is the trochlear fossa?
A depression associated with articulation at the distal humerus and ulna.
What are the carpal bones?
Eight small bones of the wrist including scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate.
What are the medial and lateral epicondyles?
Bony prominences on the distal humerus serving as muscle attachment sites.
What is the ulnar tuberosity?
A roughened area on the ulna where brachialis inserts.
What is the hook of the hamate?
A projection on the hamate bone that serves as an attachment for the transverse carpal ligament.
What is the ulna?
The medial forearm bone.
What is the radius?
The lateral forearm bone.
What are the metacarpals?
Bones of the hand between the carpals and phalanges.
What is the olecranon?
