Nerves · Upper limbPosterior branch of medial antebrachial cutaneous nerveRamus posterior nervi cutanei medialis antebrachiiThe smaller terminal branch of the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm, supplying skin on the back of the ulnar side of the forearm.
Arteries · Upper limbPosterior circumflex humeral arteryArteria circumflexa posterior humeriA branch of the third part of the axillary artery that accompanies the axillary nerve across the quadrangular space and round the humeral neck.
Veins · Upper limbPosterior circumflex humeral veinVena circumflexa posterior humeriA vein that winds around the back of the surgical neck of the humerus with the axillary nerve and drains into the axillary vein.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior cord of brachial plexusFasciculus posterior plexus brachialisThe cord of the brachial plexus behind the axillary artery, built from all three posterior divisions and giving the radial and axillary nerves.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior division of inferior trunk of brachial plexusDivisio posterior trunci inferioris plexus brachialisThe smaller, back-facing branch of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus, carrying C8 and T1 fibres into the posterior cord.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior division of middle trunk of brachial plexusDivisio posterior trunci medii plexus brachialisThe back-facing branch of the middle trunk of the brachial plexus, carrying C7 fibres into the posterior cord.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior division of superior trunk of brachial plexusDivisio posterior trunci superioris plexus brachialisThe back branch of the upper trunk of the brachial plexus, which joins the other posterior divisions behind the clavicle to form the posterior cord.
Arteries · Upper limbPosterior interosseous arteryArteria interossea posteriorThe artery of the back of the forearm, running between the superficial and deep extensor muscles from the elbow to the wrist.
Nerves · Upper limbPosterior interosseous nerve of forearmNervus interosseus posterior antebrachiiThe motor nerve of the back of the forearm, carrying on from the deep radial branch to the extensor muscles.
Joints and ligaments · Upper limbPosterior sternoclavicular ligamentLigamentum sternoclaviculare posteriusA band covering the back of the sternoclavicular joint, binding the medial end of the clavicle to the back of the manubrium.
Muscles · Upper limbPronator quadratusPronator quadratus is a flat, square muscle across the lower front of the forearm that turns the palm downward.
Arteries · Upper limbProper palmar digital arteriesArteriae digitales palmares propriaeSmall paired arteries running along each side of the fingers, carrying blood from the palm to the finger pads and nail beds.
Nerves · Upper limbProper palmar digital branches of median nerveRami digitales palmares proprii nervi medianiThe digital nerves of the median nerve that run along the sides of the thumb, index, middle and radial half of the ring finger.
Nerves · Upper limbProper palmar digital branches of ulnar nerveRami digitales palmares proprii nervi ulnarisThe digital nerves from the ulnar nerve's superficial branch that supply the little finger and the ulnar side of the ring finger.
Joints and ligaments · Upper limbQuadrate ligamentLigamentum quadratumA small, thin fibrous sheet below the annular ligament, joining the lower edge of the ulna's radial notch to the radial neck.
Arteries · Upper limbRadial arteryArteria radialisThe artery of the thumb side of the forearm, running from the elbow to the hand, where its pulse is felt at the wrist.
Arteries · Upper limbRadial collateral arteryArteria collateralis radialisA branch of the deep artery of the arm that descends on the lateral side of the elbow to join the radial recurrent artery.
Joints and ligaments · Upper limbRadial collateral ligamentLigamentum collaterale radiale cubitiThe outer ligament of the elbow, fanning from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus down to the annular ligament of the radius.
Muscles · Upper limbRadial head of flexor digitorum superficialisCaput radiale flexoris superficialis digitorumThe radial head is the thin lower origin of flexor digitorum superficialis, arising from the front of the radius below the elbow.
Nerves · Upper limbRadial nerveNervus radialisThe largest branch of the brachial plexus, running round the back of the humerus to supply the extensors of the arm and forearm.
Veins · Upper limbRadial veinsVenae radialesPaired deep veins running with the radial artery along the lateral side of the forearm and join the ulnar veins at the elbow.
Skeleton · Upper limbRadiusThe radius is the lateral bone of the forearm, on the thumb side, narrow at the elbow and broad at the wrist.
Arteries · Upper limbRecurrent interosseous arteryArteria interossea recurrensA small branch of the posterior interosseous artery that turns back up to the elbow, joining the anastomosis behind the lateral epicondyle.
Skeleton · Upper limbScapulaThe scapula is the flat, triangular shoulder blade that lies on the upper back and carries the socket of the shoulder joint.
