Bony Landmarks & Joints
This bony landmark makes up the elbow.
Olecranon process
This carpal has a hook-shaped protuberance.
Hamate
This is the site of the common flexor tendon.
Medial epicondyle of the humerus
This lies deep to the biceps brachii in the distal humeral region.
Brachialis
This nerve is aggravated when you hit the "funny bone"
Ulnar nerve
This is the location of Lister's tubercle.
The "anatomical snuffbox" sits on top of this carpal.
Scaphoid
This muscle is visible when pinching the fingers together in a "chef's kiss" motion.
Palmaris longus
This muscle goes through the forearm but does not cross the wrist.
Brachioradialis
This muscle is an antagonist during flexion of the second through fifth fingers.
Extensor digitorum
This sac lies between the olecranon process and the skin.
Olecranon bursa
This is the smallest carpal.
Pisiform
This muscle goes between the pisiform and medial epicondyle of the humerus, and had two heads.
Flexor carpi ulnaris
This is the number of muscles located in the thenar eminence.
3 (abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis, opponens pollicis)
If you experience a muscle strain in the posterior antebrachium, pain will likely be at this humeral landmark.
Lateral epicondyle
This carpal gives the thumb is wide range of movement.
Trapezium
This is the common origin site of the extensors of the wrist and fingers.
Lateral epicondyle of the humerus
These are the muscle tendons that make up the "anatomical snuffbox".
Extensor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis brevis, abductor pollicis longus.
This muscle, of the forearm and hand, inserts at the olecranon process and extends the elbow.
Anconeus
The elbow is made of these two joints.
If the deep, transverse metacarpal ligaments are damaged, this muscle set could be impacted.
Interossei muscles (palmar or dorsal)
These muscles make up the “wad of three”
Brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis
The lumbricals "sprout" from this muscles tendons.
Flexor digitorum profundus
These muscles act as antagonists during supination.
Pronator teres and quadratus
