Upper Extremities Notes and labeling list

Deltoid- on shoulder, superior to clavicle and humerus
Triceps- posterior to the humerus
Biceps Brachii- anterior to the humerus
Brachialis- flexes the elbow joint, deep to the biceps brachii, anterior and lateral to the humerus
Brachioradialis- the muscle of the forearm
Axilla- the armpit, caused by the boundary of the latissimus dorsi, trapezius and pectoralis major.
Lateral Epicondyle of the Humerus- Boney protrusion from humerus on the anterior/lateral side of the arm at the elbow.
Medial Epicondyle of the Humerus- on the posterior/medial side of the humerus at the elbow.
Radial Collateral Ligament (RCL) of the Elbow- Ligament connecting the ulna and humerus.
Olecranon Process of the Ulna- Most proximal part of the ulna, forming the elbow.
Wrist/Finger Extensors- On the top of the arm, they cross the wrist as tendons and attach at the Lateral Epicondyle.
Wrist/Finger Flexors- On the underside of the arm, they attach at the medial epicondyle.
Extensor Retinaculum- also known as the dorsal carpal ligament, wraps around the wrist (carpals) holding the Extensors in place.
Styloid Process of Radius, and of the Ulna- Both bones have a styloid process, which is where they connect to the carpals to form the wrist.


2. Simblet: (Shoulder, Arm, Forearm & Hand) Pg. 94-123 and 230-236.

Materials for next week: Basics including newsprint, conte, and sharpened charcoal pencils, etc. plus good drawing paper/Bristol and assorted graphite (2H-6B).
