What is the proximal attachment of the long head of triceps brachii muscle?

Brachial Artery

A woman riding a mountain bike on a rough trail hits a rut and is thrown from the bike. Her upper arm hits a tree, fracturing the humerus just above the insertion of the teres major muscle. Later, during examination, it is noted that she cannot extend her forearm at the elbow or hand at the wrist. Which nerve must have been injured?

Radial Nerve

The pyramidal space located inferior to the glenohumeral joint and superior to the area of the junction to the arm and thorax is known as as?

Axilla

The posterior wall of the axilla includes all EXECPT:

Pectoralis Major

The lateral wall of the axilla is:

Intertubercular sulcus of the humerus

The anterior wall of the axilla is made up of:

Pectoralis Major

Pectoralis Minor

The signs/symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome may vary among patients, but they always result from compression of what structures in the carpal tunnel?

Median Nerve

You are in the ER, a patient comes in and he is the loser of the knife fight. The patient was the recipient of a deeper laceration across the anterior surface of the arm above the elbow. He reports inability to feel anything the cutaneous surface of the arm and is unable to flex his arm. This indicates an injury to the bicep brachii. What nerve interaction is compromised?

Musculocutaneous Nerve

Which of the following is not a movement performed by the Scapula?

Circumduction

While putting metal panels on the roof of a barm, one of the panels slips out of the hands of the man on the roof. During an attempt to catch the panel, a worker below is struck by its sharp edge. The panel hits across the anterior surface of his right arm at mid-length and the impact severs all of the tissue to the bone. When examined in the emergency room it is noted that the patient can only weakly flex his elbow and the lateral side of the forearm is numb. In addition to the muscles, which nerve is injured?

Musculocutaneous Nerve

The area where the median nerve is located just deep to the brachial artery.

Cubital Fossa
