The deep fascia is a continuation of the deep fascia covering the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles. As the deep fascia extends distally, intermuscular septa extend to the bone dividing the arm and forearm into anterior and posterior compartments in the arm and forearm. Each compartment contains muscles that perform similar actions and have common innervation and attachments. Arm Forearm - Anterior: Flexors, musculocutaneus nerve - Anterior: Flexors, medial epicondyle, median - Posterior: Extensors, radial nerve and ulnar nerves - Posterior: Extensors, lateral epicondyle, radial nerve 4) Skeletal muscle basics Skeletal muscles in the limbs: - attach to at least two separate bones (origin and insertion) - act on the joint(s) that the muscle crosses between the attachments - contract when a muscle fi ber generates tension through the actin and myosin cross-bridging cycling The term “contraction” implies a shortening or reduction, however, in reality contraction refers to the genera- tion of tension by muscle fi bers with the help of motor neurons. While under tension, the muscle may shorten, remain the same or lengthen (muscle cells do not push) - Concentric contraction: muscle shortens (biceps curl) - Isometric contraction: no change in length of muscle (muscles of the hand and forearm while gripping an object) - Eccentric contraction: muscle lengthens while under pressure due to an opposing force being greater than the force generated by the muscle (setting an object down gently) 4 5) Axilla: Muscles of the shoulder girdle a) Describe the attachments, principle actions, and relations of the muscles of the shoulder girdle as grouped below Table – Muscles of the Shoulder Girdle Muscle Proximal Attachment Distal Attachment Action Innervation Scapular Muscles Subclavius 1st rib Clavicle Depresses the clavicle Nerve to the subclavius (C5) Trapezius Occipital bone, nuchal Spine, acromion and Elevates, retracts, rotates Spinal accessory ligament, C7-T12 lateral clavicle and depresses the scapula n. and C3 and C4 vertebrae spinal nerves Levator scapulae Transverse processes of Superior angle of the Elevates the scapula Dorsal scapular n.

ISSN 2321- 4287 Case Report DOI: 10.16965/ijar.2014.501 BILATERAL ANOMALOUS MUSCLE IN THE POPLITEAL FOSSA & ITS CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Sowmya S *, Meenakshi Parthasarathi, Sharmada KL, Sujana M. Department of anatomy, Bangalore Medical College & Research Institute, Bangalore, India. ABSTRACT Muscle variation may occur due to genetic or developmental causes. Some variations may compromise the vascular, muscular or nervous system in the region. Bilateral muscle variation in popliteal fossa is very rare. In present study an instance of bilateral muscle variation in popliteal fossa, arising from different muscles like gastrocnemius and from biceps femoris is recorded. There is no report of such variations. These observations are rare of its kind because of bilateral asymmetrical presence and difference in the origins in different legs. This is the first report as for the literatures available. Clinical and functional importance of such variation is discussed with the morphological aspects of this anomalous muscle.

The knowledge of these variations is of anatomical, radiological, and surgical interest to explain unexpected clinical signs and symptoms. Objective: The large percentage of variations in branching pattern of axillary artery is making it worthwhile to take any anomaly into consideration. The type and frequency of these vascular variations should be well understood and documented, as increasing performance of coronary artery bypass surgery and other cardiovascular surgical procedures. The objective of this study is to observe variations in axillary artery branches in human cadavers. Methods: We dissected 80 limbs of 40 human adult embalmed cadavers of Asian origin and we have studied the branching patterns of the axillary artery.

  • Intrinsic Hand Muscles of the Japanese Monkey, Macaca Fuscata
    Anthropol.Sci. 102(Suppl.), 85-95,1994 Intrinsic Hand Muscles of the Japanese Monkey, Macaca fuscata TOSHIHIKO HOMMA AND TATSUO SAKAI Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, Juntendo University, Hongo 2-1-1, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113, Japan Received December 24, 1993 •ôGH•ô Abstract•ôGS•ô Anatomy of the intrinsic hand muscles in the Japanese monkeys was studied with an improved method to dissect the muscles and nerves in water after removal of the skeletal framework. The thenar eminence contained four muscles, namely m. abductor pollicis brevis, m. opponens pollicis, m, flexor pollicis brevis, and m. adductor pollicis. The hypothenar eminence contained four muscles, namely m. palmaris brevis, m. abductor digiti minimi, m. flexor digiti minimi brevis, and m. opponens digiti minimi. Majority of the thenar muscles are fused more or less with each other, so that clear separation of these muscles was difficult. The lumbrical muscles arose from the palmar parts of four main tendons of the deep flexor muscle to the second, third, fourth, and fifth digits. The mm, contrahentes arose mainly from a medial tendinous septum attached on the palmar surface to the third metacarpus, and included three muscles destined to the second, fourth and fifth digits. The interossei were found on the radial side of the second, third, fourth and fifth finger as well as on the ulnar side of the second, third and fourth finger. The intrinsic hand muscles in the Japanese monkey received innervation either from the median or the ulnar nerve. Branching pattern of these nerves to the individual muscles was fundamentally similar to those in man except for the fact that the median and the ulnar nerve in the Japanese monkey do not communi cateto make a loop in the thenar muscles.

Department of Anatomy and Embryology 2. Student, GM 6th year VARIATION OF THE ORIGIN OF THE LATERAL THORACIC ARTERY. Case RePORT (Abstract): Introduction: Anatomical variations of the origin of axillary artery branches are quite common. The most frequent variations are common trunks or emergence from a different segment than the classical description. Material and method: A formalin fixed male human cadaver has been dissected during teaching classes for medical students at the Anatomy and Embryology De- partment of UMFST Târgu Mureş. We observed a pattern of origins of the axillary artery branch- es different from the classical description. Results: The second part of the axillary artery provides the superior thoracic artery and the thoraco-acromial artery from its anterior surface, while the subscapular artery separates from its posterior surface. The lateral thoracic artery is a branch of the subscapular artery. The anterior and posterior circumflex humeral arteries come from the third part of the axillary artery, which corresponds to the classical description. Conclusions: Published studies report multiple variations regarding the origin of the axillary artery branches. Most com- monly, the lateral thoracic artery originates from the subscapular artery, which is the case in our study as well. Key-words: LATERAL THORACIC ARTERY, vaRIATION, SUBSCAPULAR ARTERY INTRODUCTION provides six branches, which are grouped ac- Arterial supply to the thoraco-scapulo-hu- cording to its parts: the first part gives off the meral area is provided by the branches of the superior thoracic artery, the second part pro- axillary artery.

  • The Square Flap Technique for Burn Contractures: Clinical Experience and Analysis of Length Gain
    Annals of Burns and Fire Disasters - vol. XXXI - n. 4 - December 2018 THE SQUARE FLAP TECHNIQUE FOR BURN CONTRACTURES: CLINICAL EXPERIENCE AND ANALYSIS OF LENGTH GAIN DOUBLE LAMBEAU RHOMBOÏDE POUR BRIDE SÉQUELLAIRE DE BRÛ- LURE: EXPÉRIENCE PRATIQUE ET ANALYSE DE LA LONGUEUR GAGNÉE Hifny M.A. Department of Plastic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Qena University Hospital, South Valley University, Egypt SUMMARY. Post-burn contractures, affecting the joints especially, are demanding problems. Many surgical techniques have been designated for burn contracture release. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of the square flap technique to release a post-burn scar contracture, and assess the post-operative length gain that can be achieved by simple mathematical calculation. In this study, sixteen patients with linear contracture bands were treated with the square flap tech- nique. The anatomical distribution of the contractures was: axilla, cubital fossa, flank, perineum and popliteal fossa. Scar maturity ranged from 4 months - 9 years. Square flap width and contracture band length before and immediately after surgery were recorded by simple mathematical calculation. Flap complication was assessed. Patient satisfaction was also assessed during the follow-up period. All square flaps were effective in lengthening the contracture bands. The length of the contracture that was released ranged from 2 to 6 cm. The gain in length provided with this technique ranged from 212 to 350%, average 247%, and adequate contracture release was achieved in all cases postoperatively. All square flaps healed uneventfully except for one (6%), which demonstrated limited epidermolysis that healed by secondary intention. The fol- low-up interval ranged from 6 months to 1.5 years.

The axillary and lower subscapular nerves coursed between the observed muscle and the subscapularis. The presence of the muscle has potential ABSTRACT to entrap the axillary nerve and the lower subscapular nerve. We describe the presence of an accessory subscapularis muscle observed bilaterally Key Words: Accessory subscapularis; Axillary nerve; Lower subscapular nerve; in a human anatomy laboratory. The muscle originated from the mid-region of Entrapment INTRODUCTION everal anatomic variations in axillary musculature have been reported (1- S4). One of the more common variations is the axillary arch muscle, also known as Langer’s muscle, the axillopectoral muscle, and the pectordorsal muscle (3,4). This muscle typically arises from the lateral aspect of the latissimus dorsi inserting deep to the pectoralis major on the humerus. Several variations of the axillary arch muscle are described with a reported incidence of 6-9% (4-6). Less frequent and distinctly different than the axillary arch muscle, is a variant muscle associated with the subscapularis. This has been termed the subscapulo-humeral muscle, subscapularis minor, subscapularis-teres-latissimus muscle, and the accessory subcapularis muscle (1,2,7). Reported incidence ranges from 0.45 to 2.6% (2,7). CASE REPORT A variant muscle associated with the subscapularis bilaterally was observed on a Caucasian female embalmed cadaver during routine dissection in a human anatomy class for first year physical therapy students.
