Anatomy Course Branches from the brachial artery about a third of the way along the humerus. It enters the posterior compartment of the arm with the radial nerve, passing through the space made by the lateral margin of long head of the triceps, the inferior margin of teres major and the shaft of the humerus.
Anatomy Origin: Medial surface of distal ulna. Insertion: Lateral Surface of distal radius. Key Relations: One of the three muscles in the deep anterior compartment of the forearm. Functions -Pronates the forearm and hand at the radioulnar joint. -Deep fibres bind the radius and ulna together. e.g.: as in loosening a screw (right hand). Supply
Anatomy Origin: Humeral head: Medial epicondyle of humerus via the common flexor tendon, and adjacent supraepicondylar ridge. Ulnar head: Medial aspect of the coronoid process of ulna. Insertion: Roughening on lateral surface of radial shaft near its midpoint. Key Relations: -The median nerve courses between the two heads of pronator teres in 80% of people.
Anatomy Course Begin at the metacarpals and drain blood into the venous palmar arch of the hand. Drain Drain into the palmar venous plexus. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy Course Begins at the junction of the lateral and medial plantar veins. It ascends to the leg, passing behind the medial malleolus and travels deep in the posterior aspect of the leg. It passes under the tendinous arch formed by the soleus muscle and becomes the popliteal vein in the popliteal fossa. Drain Drains
Anatomy Attaches from the posteriolateral surface of the distal tibia to the posterior medial surface of the lateral malleolus. Functions Firmly links the distal ends of the tibia and fibula. This is essential to produce the framework for the articulation of the ankle with the leg. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for
Anatomy Course A branch of the ileocolic artery that branches off near the junction of the ileum and the cecum. It can branch off together with the anterior cecal artery as a trunk, or individually. Supply The posterior cecal artery supplies the cecum and the appendix. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for
Anatomy Course Arises from the sacral plexus in the pelvis. It exits the pelvic cavity through the greater sciatic foramen inferior to the piriformis muscle. It passes to the back of the leg and travels distally beneath the gluteus maximus, and then passes over the long head of the biceps femoris muscle, remaining deep to
