Skeletal Muscle Physio
These two muscle types are controlled involuntarily.
What are smooth and cardiac muscle types?
This is the artery that you are targeting when trying to measure a patient's blood pressure
This compartment of the forearm houses the supinator muscle. BONUS 100 points if you know what layer of the compartment.
What is the posterior compartment. What is the deep layer?
These are the names of the three heads of the triceps.
What are the lateral, medial, and long heads of the triceps?
This nerve pierces the coracobrachialis muscle.
What is the musculocutaneous nerve?
Calcium ions bind to this part of the myofilament.
What is troponin?
A patient comes in to your clinic with the inability to extend their wrist and digits, aka wrist drop. This nerve is most likely injured and causing this complication.
What is the radial nerve?
These four muscles are the superficial flexors of the forearm.
What are pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, flexor carpi ulnaris.
This muscle is the assistor of the triceps.
What is the anconeus?
This nerve supplies all the extensors of the forearm.
What is the radial nerve?
Calmodulin is found in this type of muscle.
What is smooth muscle?
This head of the biceps is usually ruptured due to wear and tear of the inflamed biceps tendon.
What is the long head of the biceps?
This muscle is the smallest and deepest muscle of the forearm.
What is pronator quadratus?
Your friend is unable to bring their hand up to touch their shoulder because they are unable to flex their elbow. This muscle may be injured.
What is the brachialis muscle?
At what anatomical point does the brachial artery split? BONUS 300 points if you can name what the brachial artery continues as.
What is the neck of the radius? What are the radial and ulnar arteries?
Muscle fibers continually make ATP from the breakdown of what molecule?
What is creatine phosphate?
What ligament is torn due to transient subluxation of the head of the radius? 100 bonus points if you can tell me another name for this condition.
These two superficial muscles in the posterior compartment of the arm work to abduct the wrist.
What are the extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi radialis brevis?
This head of the triceps resists dislocation of the humerus.
What is the long head?
List the contents of the cubital fossa.
What are the median nerve, brachial artery, tendon of biceps brachii, and radial nerve?
This structure found exclusively in cardiac muscle is formed at the sarcomere z-line. 200 bonus points if you know what makes up this structure.
What is a diad? T tubule paired with terminal cisterna of sarcoplasmic reticulum.
These nerves are at risk of being damaged due to fractures of the humerus at the following points: 1) surgical neck, 2) radial groove, 3) distal humerus, 4) medial epicondyle.
What are the axillary nerve, radial nerve, median nerve, and ulnar nerve?
A patient presents to your clinic with the inability to flex wrist or digits, with the exception of their thumb. These two muscles are most likely damaged.
What are the flexor digitorum superficialis and flexor digitorum profundus?
Name the three functions of the biceps brachii.
What are flexion, supination of the forearm, and shoulder flexion?
List the superficial veins of the cubital fossa and forearm.
What are the cephalic vein, basilic vein, and medial cubital vein?
