 Musculo-Skeletal The adult There are about 600 muscles.in the human body human The three main types of skeleton is muscle include made up of ,Skeletal.206 bones Smooth Each upper.Cardiac limb is made of 30 bone- The brain, nerves and skeletal Adults muscles work together to Both upper cause movement – this is have limb arou =60 collectively known as the neuromuscular system nd 350- 360 joints Joints Boundaries –Contents of Cubital Fossa Contents From lateral to medial Radial nerve - originating from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus, with contributions from C5-T1 roots. In the cubital fossa, it runs close to the brachioradialis muscle and splits into its deep and superficial branches.within Biceps tendon biceps tendon runs through.attaching to the radial tuberosity of the radius Brachial artery - the brachial artery runs through the fossa, just medial to the biceps tendon, branching at the apex into the radial and.ulnar arteries Median nerve - originating from the lateral and medial cords of the brachial plexus, with contributions from C6-T1 roots. It can be found most medially within the cubital fossa, running between the two heads of pronator teres.in the majority of the population  Anatomical Snuffbox Extensor pollicis Longus.1 2.

Palmar & dorsal are used to describe the anterior & posterior surfaces of.the hand respectively Posterior Superior & inferior are used to indicate the levels, high or low with reference to the upper and lower ends of.the body :Proximal & distal are used to describe the relative distances from the root of the limbs, ex. arm is proximal to forearm & hand.is distal to forearm :Superficial and deep are used to indicate the relative distances of structures from the.surface of the body Superficial and deep  Anatomical Position – Terminology Internal and external are used to describe the relative distances of structures from the.center of an organ or a cavity Ipsilateral refers to the same side of the.body Contralateral refers to the opposite side of the.body  Anatomical Position – Terminology Supine position is that position in which the.individual lies on his back Prone position is the position in which the individual lies with face.downward  Flexion- Extension Flexion is a movement that.takes place in sagittal plane Extension means straightening of the joint and usually takes place in a posterior direction, ex..extension of elbow joint  Body Movements :Abd uction is the movement away from midline of the body in coronal.plane :Add uction is the movement toward the body.(midline) in the coronal plane  Body Movements Pronation is a medial rotation of the forearm.so that palm faces posteriorly Supination is a lateral rotation of forearm from the pronated position so that the.palm faces anteriorly Rotation is the movement of part of the body.around its long axis  Lateral flexion is a movement of the trunk in the.coronal plane Circumduction is a combination of flexion, extension, abduction and.adduction movements Protraction is a forward movement, ex. forward.movement of the jaw Retraction is a backward movement of a protruded.structure  :Inversion is a movement of the foot so that the.sole faces medially :Eversion is a movement of the foot so that the.sole faces laterally Body Movements
