Functions -Compresses abdominal cavity. -Tenses abdominal wall. -Flexes vertebral column (trunk) e.g.

Anatomy Course A branch of the radial artery, originating in the forearm, near the radial tuberosity. It ascends between the brachioradialis and supinator muscles over the lateral epicondyle to join with the radial collateral artery. Supply The radial recurrent artery contributes to the blood supply of the elbow joint, and the muscles on the lateral

Anatomy Course Originates from the superficial palmar arch and winds up around the wrist, passing lateral to the flexor carpi radialis tendon. It runs along the lateral aspect of the forearm, passing deep to the brachioradialis. It joins with the ulnar vein to become the brachial vein. Drain Drains the lateral hand and forearm. Interested

Anatomy Attaches to the palmar surface of the radial styloid process. Runs across the scaphoid and attaches to the medial palmar surface of the capitate. Functions Provides static stability to the wrist and carpal joints. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy Course A terminal branch of the profunda brachii artery, that originates whilst the profunda brachii is travelling in the radial groove of the humerus. It descends close to the bone on the lateral aspect of the arm, and joins with the radial recurrent artery at the elbow joint. Supply Contributes to the blood supply

Anatomy Course The radial nerve arises from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus, and is the largest terminal branch of the posterior cord. It exits the axilla by passing through the triangle made by the border of the long head of the triceps, the humerus and the inferior margin of the teres major. It

Anatomy Large hole/aperture/foramen (round in male, oval in female) formed by pubis and ischium, most of which is closed off by a strong membrane emanating from its borders, leaving a gap – the obturator canal, through which the obturator vessels pass.
