Document Summary

Cubital fossa: a shallow triangular depression on the anterior surface of the elbow. Superiorly, an imaginary line connecting the medial and lateral epicondyles. The floor of the cubital fossa formed by the brachialis and supinator muscles. The roof is formed by the continuity of the brachial and antebrachial (deep) fascia, reinforced by the bicipital aponeurosis, subcutaneous tissue, and skin. Terminal part of the brachial artery and the commencement of its terminal branches, the radial and ulnar. 1 arteries, the brachial artery lies between the biceps tendon and the median neve. Radial nerve, dividing into superficial and deep branches. Forearm is between the elbow and the wrist and contains two bones the radius and he ulna, which are joined by an interosseous membrane. The role of the forearm movement occurring at the elbow and radio- ulnar joint is to assist the shoulder in the application of force and in controlling the placement o the hand in space.
