#15 - More a question here. Are depression, elevation, protraction, and retraction really movements of/at the shoulder? Think about it, the shoulder joint itself isn't really moving, is it?

#16 - Pectoralis major can still medially rotate.

#27 - I agree, and the IO recurrent is also known as the posterior IO recurrent.

#29 - Superior ulnar collateral runs posterior to the elbow.

: 1 - true bc it is not within the brachial plexus
: 2 - False the quad space is associated with the surgical neck

: : : Arm and Cubital Fossa: True/False 2009
: : : These questions were not submitted by the lecturer.

: : : True/False

: : : 1. The intercostobrachial nerve is segmental and, thus, not derived from a plexus.

: :
: : : 2. Structures passing through the quandrangular space are immediately related to the anatomical neck of the humerus.

: :
: : : 3. The spiral (radial) groove is located on the anterior surface of the humerus.
: : False - posterior surface

: : : 4. Three fossae of the distal humerus contribute to stability of the extended elbow.
: : False - there are 3 fossae of the distal humerus (radial, trochlear and Olecranon) but only olecranon contributes to stability in extension

: : : 5. Teres minor, a medial rotator of the forearm, is innervated by the lower subscapular nerve.
: : True

: : : 6. The long head of the triceps contributes to the borders of two named spaces and a named interval.
: : True - Medial boarder of quad space and triangular interval, and lat boarder for triangular space

: : : 7. The long head of the triceps is biarticulate.
: : True - elbow and shoiulder, elbow extension and weak shouler extension

: : : 8. The spiral groove separates the origins of the lateral and medial heads of the triceps.
: : True - Lat head is sup/lat and medial head is inf/medial

: : : 9. Teres major shares an insertion with the pectoralis major at the lateral lip of the intertubercular sulcus.
: : False - Teres Major inserts on medial lip

: : : 10. The triangular interval is immediately related to the circumflex scapular artery.
: : False - triangular space, radial N. and profunda brachii a. run thru interval

: : : 11. Both heads of the biceps are biarticulate whereas the brachialis and the coracobrachialis are monoarticulate.
: : True - Long head Originates at supraglenoid tub, short head at coracoid process

: :
: : 12. The bicipital aponeurosis provides protection for the ulnar nerve within the cubital fossa.
: : False - Ulnar N doesn't run through cubital fossa

: : : 13. A lesion of the musculocutaneous nerve within the axilla results in uncompensated loss of flexion at the elbow.
: : False - Biceps, brachialis effected. Coracobrachialis uneffected but not involved in elbow flexion. Still have flexion from brachioradialis (radial N.) and weak flexion from pronator teres (median N),

: : : 14. The brachialis may receive innervation from the radial nerve.
: : True - Idk why, radial N runs inbetween the brachioradialis and the brachialis so why not

: : : 15. A lesion of the axillary nerve within the axilla results in weakness of all shoulder movements with a pronounced weakenss in abduction.
: : False - No weakness in depression, elevation, protraction and retraction

: : : 16. Lesions of the upper, middle, and lower subscapular nerves results in complete loss of medial rotation of the arm.
: : True - subscap, teres major and lat are out

: : : 17. Coracobrachialis assists the biceps in flexing the forearm.
: : False - just shoulder

: : : 18. Brachialis assists the long head of the triceps in adducting the arm.
: : False - coracobrachialis assists

: : : 19. Brachioradialis flexes the elbow, supinates from pronation, pronates from supination, and is, thus, critical to the execution of a straight pool stroke.
: : True

: : : 20. The brachial fascia gives rise to the anterior and posterior intermuscular septae.
: : True

: : : 21. The radial nerve penetrates the medial intermuscular septum to then enter the cubital fossa.
: : False - Lateral

: : : 22. The ulnar nerve penetrates the lateral intermuscular septum to enter the posterior compartment of the arm.
: : False - Medial

: : : 23. The profunda brachial artery gives rise to the radial and middle collateral arteries.
: : True

: : : 24. The middle collateral artery passes within the long head of the triceps.
: : False

: : : 25. The brachial artery terminates within the cubital fossa
: : True - Bifurcates into radial and ulnar

: : : 26. The radial recurrent artery passes along the medial border of the brachioradialis.
: : True

: : : 27. The posterior interosseous recurrent artery passes within the anconeus muscle.
: : True - in our notes there is only an interosseous recurrent, not post. and ant.

: : : 28. The posterior ulnar recurrent artery passes between the humeral and ulnar heads of origin of the flexor carpi radialis.
: : False, there is only one head of the radialis, the ulnaris is true

: : : 29. The superior ulnar collateral artery penetrates the medial intermuscular septum to then pass anterior to the elbow.
: : True

: : : 30. The radial and median nerves, but not the ulnar nerve, are contents of the cubital fossa.
: : True

: : : 31. Within the cubital fossa the median nerve is medial to the brachial artery.
: : True
