21. Summary of Muscles

22. Anterior Forearm
Pronator Teres
Origin Humeral head from medial
epicondyle and supracondylar
ridge of humerus.
Ulnar head from medial border
of coronoid process of ulna
Insertion Middle of lateral surface of
radius
Action Pronates and flexes forearm
(at elbow)
Nerve Supply Median nerve (C6 and C7)
Blood Supply Ulnar artery, anterior
recurrent ulnar artery

23. Posterior Forearm
Brachioradialis
Origin Proximal 2/3 of lateral
supracondylar ridge of
humerus
Insertion Lateral surface of distal end of
radius (base of styloid process)
Action Flexes forearm
Nerve Supply Radial nerve (C5, C6 and C7)
Blood Supply Radial recurrent artery

24. Anterior Arm
Biceps Brachii
Origin Short head: tip of coracoid
process of scapula; Long head:
supraglenoid tubercle of
scapula
Insertion Tuberosity of radius and fascia
of forearm via bicipital
aponeurosis
Action Supinates and flexes forearm
Nerve Supply Musculocutaneous nerve (C5
and C6)
Blood Supply Muscular branches of brachial
artery
