Arteries
Ulnar artery and Radial artery
Deep veins
Ulnar vein and Radial vein
Superficial veins
Basilic vein, Cephalic vein, Median cubital vein and Median vein
Musculocutaneous nerve
Median nerve
Ulnar nerve
Radial nerve
The ulnar nerve innervates flexor carpi ulnaris and flexor digitorum profundus (in part) and
intrinsic hand muscles. It also innervates the skin of the medial hand and of digit 5 and parts of
digits 3 and 4.
The median nerve innervates most of the muscles of the anterior forearm muscle compartment
(pronator teres, flexor carpi ulnaris, palmaris longus, flexor digitorum superficialis, flexor
digitorum profundus (in part), flexor pollicis longus, and pronator quadratus) as well as intrinsic
hand muscles. It also innervates the skin of the palm and parts of digits 1-4.
LAB WORKSHEET
Radial nerve (easily viewed in the proximal posterior arm between long and lateral heads of triceps brachii)
The radial nerve innervates the: brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis, extensor carpi
ulnaris, extensor digitorum, extensor digiti minimi, abductor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis longus and
brevis, and extensor indicis.
What is the name of the muscle compartment that houses most of these muscles? Extensor compartment of
forearm.
The radial nerve also innervates the skin of the dorsum of the hand and parts of digits 1-4.
