The axillary artery is a direct continuation of this artery.
Subclavian Artery
The flexor muscles are located in this compartment of the arm.
Anterior
This condition caused by damage to the brachial plexus presents with "waiter's tip".
Erb-Duchenne (Erb's) Palsy
The common name for the axilla.
Armpit or underarm
I am created by ventral rami C5, C6, C7, C8 and T1.
The Brachial Plexus
The axillary artery is divided into three parts by this muscle.
Pectoralis minor
This arm compartment aids in pronation of the forearm.
Posterior Compartment
A drop in the wrist is a tell-tail sign that this nerve has been injured.
Radial Nerve Injury (200)
The axilla's lateral wall is formed by this bone.
Humerus
These are the sections of the brachial plexus, from spine to nerve. (there are five of them!)
Roots, Trunks, Divisions, Cords, Branches
This artery runs from the forearm to become the deep palmar arch in the palm of the hand.
Radial Artery
Majority of muscles in the arm act on this joint.
Elbow Joint
This is a characteristic hand shape exhibited by individuals with an ulnar nerve injury.
"Clawhand"
The axilla's anterior wall is formed by these two muscles.
Pectoralis major and minor
This nerve is formed by the joining of the lateral cord and medial cord in the brachial plexus.
Median Nerve
This artery is located in the right limb, but not the left limb.
Brachiocephalic Artery
This plane allows us to examine the brachial fascia and see the compartments of the arm.
Transverse Plane
This nerve injury results in numb palm and fingers, and inability to pronate or flex fingers.
Median Nerve Injury
The subscapularis forms this wall of the axilla.
The posterior wall
The musculocutaneous nerve is made up of these roots.
C5-C7
This canal is made up of the clavicle (anteriorly), the first rib (medially), and the superior border of the scapula (posteriorly).
The Cervico-Axillary Canal
The brachial compartment is divided into anterior and posterior by these two septa.
Lateral intermuscular septum and medial intermuscular septum.
Long thoracic nerve injury, and subsequent paralysis of this muscle results in winged scapula.
Serratus Anterior
The number of groups of lymph nodes contained in the axilla.
Five (pectoral, subscapular, humeral, central, apical)
Anterior divisions of the superior and middle trunks form this cord.
Lateral Cord
