πŸŽ“ Anatomy Exam β€” Model Answers (7 Marks Each)

Standard: BD Chaurasia (Vol. 1) + Vishram Singh (Vol. 1) | Upper Limb Anatomy

Q1. Describe the Attachments of Rotator Cuff Muscles (3 marks)

Definition

The rotator cuff is a musculotendinous cuff formed by four muscles that surround the glenohumeral joint, providing dynamic stability while rotating the humerus.

The Four Muscles β€” Mnemonic: SITS

MuscleOriginInsertionNerve SupplyAction
SupraspinatusSupraspinous fossa of scapulaSuperior facet of greater tubercle of humerusSuprascapular nerve (C5, C6)Initiates abduction (0-15Β°)
InfraspinatusInfraspinous fossa of scapulaMiddle facet of greater tubercleSuprascapular nerve (C5, C6)Lateral rotation
Teres MinorUpper 2/3 of lateral border of scapulaInferior facet of greater tubercleAxillary nerve (C5, C6)Lateral rotation
SubscapularisSubscapular fossa (costal surface of scapula)Lesser tubercle of humerusUpper & lower subscapular nerves (C5, C6, C7)Medial rotation & adduction

Diagram

Clinical Importance

  • The supraspinatus is the most commonly injured rotator cuff muscle, compressed beneath the acromion during abduction (subacromial impingement).
  • The "painful arc" of abduction (60Β°-120Β°) is a hallmark of supraspinatus tendinopathy.
  • Full-thickness tears cause inability to initiate abduction and a positive "drop arm" sign.
(BD Chaurasia Vol. 1, Shoulder region; Vishram Singh Vol. 1)

Q2. Attachments, Actions and Nerve Supply of Deltoid (3 marks)

Attachments

Origin (Inverted V-shape β€” from three parts):
  • Anterior (clavicular) part: Anterior border and upper surface of lateral 1/3 of clavicle
  • Middle (acromial) part: Lateral margin and superior surface of acromion process
  • Posterior (spinal) part: Lower lip of the crest of the spine of scapula (entire length)
Insertion: All three parts converge into the deltoid tuberosity on the lateral surface of the shaft of humerus (at middle 1/3).

Actions

PartAction
AnteriorFlexion + medial rotation of arm
Middle (acromial)Abduction of arm (15Β°-90Β°)
PosteriorExtension + lateral rotation of arm
All togetherMain abductor of arm at glenohumeral joint
Note: Deltoid takes over abduction from supraspinatus after 15Β°.

Nerve Supply

  • Axillary nerve (C5, C6) β€” from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus
  • The nerve winds around the surgical neck of the humerus within the quadrangular space

Diagram

Clinical Note

  • Fracture of the surgical neck of the humerus or dislocation of the shoulder joint can injure the axillary nerve β†’ deltoid paralysis β†’ loss of shoulder abduction and flattening of the shoulder contour.
  • Intramuscular injections into the deltoid should be given into the upper and outer quadrant to avoid the axillary nerve.
(BD Chaurasia Vol. 1; Vishram Singh Upper Limb Vol. 1)

Q3. Enumerate Structures Under Cover of Deltoid Muscle

Introduction

The deltoid muscle covers the lateral aspect of the shoulder joint. Several important neurovascular and tendinous structures lie deep to it.

Structures Under Cover of Deltoid

Bony Structures:
  1. Greater tubercle of humerus
  2. Surgical neck of humerus
  3. Shoulder (glenohumeral) joint capsule
Muscles/Tendons: 4. Supraspinatus tendon (inserted into greater tubercle) 5. Infraspinatus tendon 6. Teres minor tendon 7. Long head of biceps tendon (in intertubercular groove) 8. Subscapularis tendon
Bursae: 9. Subacromial (subdeltoid) bursa β€” lies between deltoid and supraspinatus tendon, allows free gliding
Nerves: 10. Axillary nerve β€” winds around surgical neck in quadrangular space, then enters deep surface of deltoid 11. Branches of the suprascapular nerve (to infraspinatus)
Vessels: 12. Posterior circumflex humeral artery and vein (accompanies axillary nerve through quadrangular space) 13. Anterior circumflex humeral artery (winds around surgical neck anteriorly)

Diagram

Clinical Note

The subacromial bursa separates the deltoid from the rotator cuff. Inflammation of this bursa (subacromial bursitis) produces severe shoulder pain, especially on abduction, and is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain in adults.
(BD Chaurasia Vol. 1; Vishram Singh Vol. 1)

Q4. Attachment of Pectoralis Major Muscle (2 marks)

Origin (Three Heads)

HeadOrigin
Clavicular headAnterior surface of medial half of clavicle
Sternocostal headAnterior surface of sternum; upper 6 costal cartilages; aponeurosis of external oblique
Abdominal headAnterior layer of rectus sheath (variable)

Insertion

  • Lateral lip of the intertubercular (bicipital) groove of the humerus
  • The tendon is folded on itself β€” the clavicular fibers insert inferior to the sternocostal fibers (creating a "twisted" insertion)

Key Facts

  • Nerve supply: Medial and lateral pectoral nerves (C5, C6, C7, C8, T1)
  • The lower sternocostal fibers rotate 180Β° before insertion, so they end up superior to the clavicular fibers at the humerus

Diagram

Pectoralis major shown from anterior view with clavicular, sternocostal and abdominal heads labeled converging to intertubercular groove

Actions

  • Adduction and medial rotation of arm
  • Clavicular head: flexion of extended arm
  • Sternocostal head: extension of flexed arm (draws arm down)

Clinical Note

A rupture of pectoralis major (common in weightlifters doing bench press) produces a visible defect in the anterior axillary fold and weakness in adduction and medial rotation.
(BD Chaurasia Vol. 1; Vishram Singh Vol. 1)

Q5. Attachments, Actions & Nerve Supply of Serratus Anterior (4 marks)

Origin

Eight digitations (slips) from the outer surfaces and superior borders of the upper 8 ribs (and intervening intercostal fascia).

Insertion

  • Costal (anterior) surface of the medial border of scapula β€” entire length from superior angle to inferior angle
  • The lower 4 slips (from ribs 5-8) converge specifically onto the inferior angle of the scapula

Nerve Supply

Long thoracic nerve of Bell (C5, C6, C7)
  • Arises from roots of C5, C6, C7 of brachial plexus
  • Passes vertically down over the lateral chest wall on the superficial surface of the muscle
  • This nerve runs entirely superficially β€” highly vulnerable to injury

Actions

ActionMechanism
Protracts scapula (pulls medial border away from vertebral column)Pulls scapula forward and laterally around chest wall
Holds scapula against thoracic wallActs as the "boxing muscle"
Rotates glenoid cavity upwardLower 4 slips rotate inferior angle laterally β€” essential for full abduction above 90Β°

Role in Shoulder Abduction

  • Serratus anterior (lower fibers) + Trapezius (upper fibers) form a force couple that rotates the scapula, tilting the glenoid cavity upward to allow the arm to be raised above horizontal.

Diagram

Serratus anterior shown from lateral view, with 8 digitations from ribs inserting along the entire medial border of the scapula, and the long thoracic nerve running over its surface

Clinical Note β€” Winging of Scapula

  • Injury to the long thoracic nerve (e.g., during mastectomy, first rib resection, carrying heavy loads on shoulder) paralyses serratus anterior
  • Result: Winged scapula β€” the medial border and inferior angle of the scapula become prominent ("wing-like") when the patient pushes against a wall
  • The patient also cannot fully abduct the arm above 90Β°
(BD Chaurasia Vol. 1; Vishram Singh Vol. 1)

Q6. Boundaries and Contents of Carpal Tunnel; Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The Carpal Tunnel

Definition: A fibro-osseous tunnel at the wrist formed by the carpal bones and the flexor retinaculum (transverse carpal ligament).

Boundaries

WallStructure
FloorConcave anterior surface of carpal bones (forming the carpal arch): scaphoid + trapezium (lateral); triquetrum + hamate (medial)
RoofFlexor retinaculum (transverse carpal ligament) β€” strong fibrous band attached medially to pisiform & hook of hamate; laterally to scaphoid tubercle & trapezium
SidesFormed by carpal bones

Contents (9 Tendons + 1 Nerve)

  1. Flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) β€” 4 tendons (arranged in 2 rows)
  2. Flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) β€” 4 tendons
  3. Flexor pollicis longus (FPL) β€” 1 tendon
  4. Median nerve β€” lies most superficially, just beneath the flexor retinaculum
Not in carpal tunnel: Flexor carpi radialis (in a separate compartment), palmaris longus (superficial to retinaculum), ulnar nerve and artery (travel through Guyon's canal β€” medial to carpal tunnel).

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Definition: Compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel.
Causes:
  • Idiopathic (most common)
  • Hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, pregnancy, diabetes
  • Wrist fractures (Colles' fracture)
  • Repetitive wrist movements
Symptoms (Median nerve compression):
  • Pain, numbness, tingling in the lateral 3Β½ fingers (thumb, index, middle, lateral half of ring)
  • Symptoms worse at night (nocturnal paresthesia)
  • Weakness of grip
Signs:
  • Thenar wasting β€” paralysis of LOAF muscles (lateral two lumbricals, Opponens pollicis, Abductor pollicis brevis, Flexor pollicis brevis)
  • "Ape hand" deformity β€” due to thenar wasting + loss of opposition
  • Tinel's sign positive: tapping over carpal tunnel at wrist reproduces tingling in median nerve distribution
  • Phalen's test positive: forced wrist flexion for 60 seconds reproduces symptoms
Treatment:
  • Conservative: wrist splinting, corticosteroid injection
  • Surgical: Division of flexor retinaculum (carpal tunnel release)
(BD Chaurasia Vol. 1, Hand; Vishram Singh Vol. 1)

Q7. Nerve Supply & Actions of Interossei of Hand

Types of Interossei

The interossei are intrinsic muscles of the hand lying between the metacarpals, divided into two groups:

Dorsal Interossei (4 muscles)

Origin: By two heads from adjacent metacarpal shafts (bipennate) Insertion: Into the base of the proximal phalanx AND the extensor expansion of the corresponding finger
MuscleInsertionAction
1st dorsalRadial side of index fingerAbducts index finger
2nd dorsalRadial side of middle fingerAbducts middle finger radially
3rd dorsalUlnar side of middle fingerAbducts middle finger ulnarly
4th dorsalUlnar side of ring fingerAbducts ring finger

Palmar Interossei (3 muscles β€” no palmar interosseous to middle finger)

Origin: From the palmar surface of the metacarpal of the finger they act on Insertion: Into the base of proximal phalanx and extensor expansion on the same side as origin
MuscleActs onAction
1st palmarThumbAdducts thumb
2nd palmarIndex fingerAdducts toward middle
3rd palmarRing fingerAdducts toward middle
4th palmarLittle fingerAdducts toward middle

Actions Summary

  • Dorsal interossei: ABduct fingers away from middle finger axis β€” mnemonic DAB (Dorsal = Abduct)
  • Palmar interossei: ADduct fingers toward middle finger axis β€” mnemonic PAD (Palmar = Adduct)
  • Both groups: Flex the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints; extend the interphalangeal (IP) joints (via extensor expansion)

Nerve Supply

All interossei (both dorsal and palmar) are supplied by the Deep branch of the Ulnar nerve (C8, T1)

Clinical Note

  • Ulnar nerve palsy β†’ loss of all interossei β†’ Guttering (visible hollows between metacarpals due to wasting) + Claw hand (MCP hyperextension + IP flexion in ring and little fingers)
  • Froment's sign: patient cannot grip a paper between thumb and index finger (1st dorsal interosseous paralysis) β€” uses FPL instead β†’ IP joint of thumb flexes
(BD Chaurasia Vol. 1; Vishram Singh Vol. 1)

Q8. Draw and Explain Diagram of Brachial Plexus (5 marks)

Formation

The brachial plexus is formed by the anterior primary rami of C5, C6, C7, C8, and T1. It supplies the entire upper limb.

Structure: RTDCB (Roots β†’ Trunks β†’ Divisions β†’ Cords β†’ Branches)

Q9. Anatomical Basis of Deformity of Erb's Paralysis

Definition

Erb's palsy (Erb-Duchenne palsy) results from injury to the upper trunk of the brachial plexus (C5, C6), most commonly due to:
  • Birth injury (excessive lateral flexion of the neck away from the shoulder during delivery)
  • Falls on the shoulder
  • Traction injuries

Nerves Injured

  • C5 and C6 roots β†’ Upper trunk of brachial plexus β†’ damages:
    • Axillary nerve (C5,C6): deltoid, teres minor
    • Suprascapular nerve (C5,C6): supraspinatus, infraspinatus
    • Musculocutaneous nerve (C5,C6): biceps, brachialis, coracobrachialis
    • Branches to brachioradialis and extensor carpi radialis longus (via radial nerve C5,C6)

Deformity β€” "Waiter's Tip" Position

Muscle LostConsequence
Deltoid (axillary nerve)Abduction lost
Supraspinatus (suprascapular nerve)Abduction initiation lost
Infraspinatus + Teres minorLateral rotation lost
Biceps + Brachialis (musculocutaneous)Flexion of elbow lost; supination lost
BrachioradialisFlexion in mid-prone position lost
Unopposed muscles act:
  • Adductors and medial rotators pull the arm to the side (subscapularis, pectoralis major, teres major)
  • Pronators pull forearm into pronation
Result: Arm hangs by the side β†’ adducted, medially rotated at shoulder; extended at elbow; pronated at forearm; wrist is flexed = "Waiter's Tip" deformity (hand positioned as if waiting for a tip)

Sensory Loss

Loss of sensation over the lateral aspect of arm and forearm (axillary and musculocutaneous nerve territory).

Contrast with Klumpke's Palsy

Klumpke's (C8, T1 injury β€” lower trunk) affects intrinsic muscles of the hand β†’ claw hand deformity.
(BD Chaurasia Vol. 1; Vishram Singh Vol. 1)

Q10. Pronation & Supination (2 marks)

Definitions

  • Supination: Rotation of the forearm to bring the palm to face anteriorly (anatomical position) β€” "SOUPination = carrying a bowl of soup"
  • Pronation: Rotation of the forearm to bring the palm to face posteriorly (downward)

Mechanism

At the proximal and distal radio-ulnar joints, the radius rotates around the ulna:
  • In supination: radius and ulna lie parallel
  • In pronation: radius crosses over the ulna

Muscles of Supination

MuscleNerveRoot
Supinator (primary)Deep branch of radial nerveC6
Biceps brachii (powerful supinator when elbow flexed)Musculocutaneous nerveC5, C6

Muscles of Pronation

MuscleNerveRoot
Pronator teres (primary)Median nerveC6
Pronator quadratus (distal forearm)Anterior interosseous nerve (branch of median)C7, C8

Clinical Note

  • Supination is generally stronger than pronation (importance in driving a screw)
  • Supinator syndrome: Entrapment of the deep radial nerve (posterior interosseous nerve) at the arcade of Frohse causes weakness of finger and thumb extension without sensory loss
(BD Chaurasia Vol. 1; Vishram Singh Vol. 1)

Q11. Median Nerve in Hand & Forearm (4 marks)

Formation

The median nerve is formed by the lateral root (C5, C6, C7 from lateral cord) and medial root (C8, T1 from medial cord) of the brachial plexus, uniting in front of the axillary artery.

Course in the Forearm

  1. Enters the forearm by passing between the two heads of pronator teres (humeral and ulnar heads)
  2. Runs deep to the flexor digitorum superficialis
  3. Emerges between FDS and FDR in the lower forearm
  4. Passes deep to the flexor retinaculum through the carpal tunnel into the hand

Branches in the Forearm

BranchMuscles Supplied
Muscular branches in upper forearmPronator teres, Flexor carpi radialis, Palmaris longus, FDS
Anterior interosseous nerve (main branch)Flexor pollicis longus, Lateral half of FDP (index + middle fingers), Pronator quadratus
Palmar cutaneous branchSkin over thenar eminence and lateral palm (given off above wrist, does NOT pass through carpal tunnel)

Course in the Hand

After passing through the carpal tunnel, the median nerve gives:
Motor (LOAF muscles):
  • Lateral two Lumbricals (index and middle fingers)
  • Opponens pollicis
  • Abductor pollicis brevis
  • Flexor pollicis brevis (superficial head)
Sensory:
  • Palmar surface of lateral 3Β½ digits
  • Dorsal tips of lateral 3Β½ digits (nail beds)
  • Lateral palm (via palmar cutaneous branch given above wrist)

Clinical Features of Median Nerve Injury

At wrist (Carpal tunnel):
  • "Ape hand" β€” thenar wasting, loss of opposition
  • Sensory loss: lateral 3Β½ fingers
  • No motor loss in forearm (branches arise proximal to wrist)
At elbow (above pronator teres):
  • All of the above PLUS:
  • Weakness of pronation (pronator teres, pronator quadratus)
  • Loss of wrist flexion (flexor carpi radialis)
  • Loss of FPL β†’ Benedict's sign / "Hand of Benediction": on attempting to make a fist, index and middle fingers remain extended (FDP lateral half paralysed), while ring and little fingers flex (FDP medial half = ulnar nerve)
(BD Chaurasia Vol. 1; Vishram Singh Vol. 1)

Q12. Musculocutaneous Nerve (3 marks)

Origin

  • Arises from the lateral cord of the brachial plexus (C5, C6, C7)
  • Originates in the axilla

Course

  1. Arises from the lateral cord in the axilla
  2. Pierces the coracobrachialis muscle (this is a distinguishing feature)
  3. Passes obliquely downward and laterally between biceps brachii and brachialis muscles
  4. Emerges at the lateral border of biceps tendon just above the elbow
  5. Pierces the deep fascia lateral to the biceps tendon and becomes the lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm

Branches

Motor branches (anterior compartment of arm β€” "BBC"):
MuscleRoot
Biceps brachiiC5, C6
BrachialisC5, C6 (medial part also receives contribution from radial nerve)
CoracobrachialisC6, C7
Sensory branch:
  • Lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm β€” supplies the skin on the lateral side of the forearm (anterior and posterior surfaces) as far as the thenar eminence

Clinical Note

  • Injury to musculocutaneous nerve is uncommon but can occur in shoulder dislocation or penetrating injuries
  • Results in: weakness of elbow flexion (especially in supinated position), loss of supination, sensory loss on lateral forearm
  • The biceps reflex (C5, C6) is lost
(BD Chaurasia Vol. 1; Vishram Singh Vol. 1)

Q13. Origin, Insertion, and Distribution of Radial Nerve

Origin

  • Largest branch of the brachial plexus
  • Arises from the posterior cord (C5, C6, C7, C8, T1)

Course

In Axilla:
  • Lies behind the axillary artery
  • Passes through the triangular interval (bounded by long head of triceps, teres major, humerus) with profunda brachii artery
In Arm (posterior compartment):
  • Runs in the radial groove (spiral groove) on the posterior surface of humerus
  • Passes from medial to lateral
  • Pierces the lateral intermuscular septum to enter the anterior compartment
At Cubital Fossa:
  • Lies between brachioradialis and brachialis
  • Divides into superficial and deep (posterior interosseous) branches
In Forearm:
  • Superficial branch: runs under brachioradialis β†’ emerges posteriorly at wrist β†’ sensory to dorsum of hand (lateral 3Β½ fingers, dorsal surface)
  • Deep branch (posterior interosseous nerve): winds around neck of radius through supinator muscle β†’ supplies all extensor muscles of forearm

Muscles Supplied

  • Inferior lateral cutaneous nerve of arm
  • Posterior cutaneous nerve of forearm
  • Superficial radial nerve β†’ dorsum of lateral 3Β½ fingers (proximal phalanges only; nail beds supplied by median nerve)

Diagram

Memory aid: Radial nerve = all extensors of upper limb.

Clinical Anatomy β€” Sites of Injury

SiteCauseDeformity
AxillaCrutch palsy, Saturday night palsy (compression in axilla)Complete loss β€” wrist drop + loss of triceps, elbow extension; no triceps reflex; sensory loss arm + forearm + hand
Radial groove (mid-humerus)Fracture of mid-shaft of humerusWrist drop (extensor carpi radialis, ECU paralysed); triceps spared (its branch given above groove); sensory loss on dorsum of hand
Anterior to lateral epicondyleFracture of lateral epicondyle; compression in cubital fossaWrist drop; brachioradialis spared
Neck of radius (deep branch / PIN)Dislocation of radial head, compressionFinger drop (cannot extend MCP joints of fingers/thumb); NO wrist drop (ECRL spared); NO sensory loss (purely motor)

Wrist Drop

The classic sign of radial nerve palsy in the radial groove:
  • All wrist and finger extensors paralysed
  • The wrist hangs in flexion due to unopposed flexors
  • The patient cannot extend the wrist or fingers
(BD Chaurasia Vol. 1; Vishram Singh Vol. 1)

Q15. Parts, Course, and Branches of the Axillary Artery (3 marks)

Introduction

The axillary artery is the continuation of the subclavian artery, beginning at the outer border of the first rib and ending at the lower border of teres major, where it becomes the brachial artery.

Three Parts (divided by pectoralis minor muscle)

PartRelation to Pectoralis MinorNo. of Branches
1st partMedial to (proximal) pectoralis minor1 branch
2nd partPosterior to pectoralis minor2 branches
3rd partLateral to (distal) pectoralis minor3 branches
Mnemonic: "1-2-3, 3-2-1" (1 branch from 1st part, 2 from 2nd part, 3 from 3rd part β€” or remember part number = number of branches)

Branches

PartBranchDistribution
1stSuperior thoracic arteryIntercostal muscles 1 & 2, upper chest wall
2ndThoraco-acromial arteryPierces clavipectoral fascia; 4 branches: pectoral, acromial, clavicular, deltoid
2ndLateral thoracic arteryLateral chest wall; lateral breast; serratus anterior
3rdSubscapular artery (largest branch)Divides into thoracodorsal (latissimus dorsi) + circumflex scapular arteries (anastomoses around scapula)
3rdAnterior circumflex humeralWinds around surgical neck of humerus anteriorly; small
3rdPosterior circumflex humeralPasses through quadrangular space with axillary nerve; anastomoses with anterior circumflex humeral

Diagram

Branches of the axillary artery diagram showing all 6 branches from 3 parts in relation to pectoralis minor and surrounding structures

Clinical Note

  • The posterior circumflex humeral artery is most at risk in surgical neck fractures of the humerus and shoulder dislocations.
  • The axillary artery can be compressed against the humerus at the axilla for controlling haemorrhage from distal upper limb wounds.
(BD Chaurasia Vol. 1; Gray's Anatomy for Students)

Q16. Cubital Fossa (7 marks)

Definition

The cubital fossa is a triangular depression (intermuscular interval) situated anterior to the elbow joint in the upper forearm, between the arm and forearm.

Boundaries

BoundaryStructure
Lateral (laterally)Medial border of brachioradialis muscle
Medial (medially)Lateral border of pronator teres muscle
Base (superiorly)Imaginary horizontal line between the medial and lateral epicondyles of humerus
Apex (inferiorly)Meeting point of brachioradialis and pronator teres
Floor (posteriorly)Brachialis muscle (upper part) and supinator muscle (lower part)
Roof (anteriorly)Skin β†’ superficial fascia (containing median cubital vein) β†’ deep fascia reinforced by bicipital aponeurosis

Contents (Lateral to Medial β€” TAN)

StructureNotes
Tendon of biceps brachiiPasses to radial tuberosity; most lateral content
Artery (brachial artery)Lies medial to biceps tendon; bifurcates into radial and ulnar arteries at the apex
Nerve (median nerve)Most medial content; passes between two heads of pronator teres
Radial nerve: Lies under the lip of brachioradialis β€” NOT truly in the fossa; divides here into superficial and deep (posterior interosseous) branches.
Ulnar nerve: Does NOT pass through the cubital fossa; travels posterior to the medial epicondyle in its own groove.

Roof Contents

  • Median cubital vein (joins cephalic and basilic veins) β€” the most common site for venepuncture and IV cannulation
  • Bicipital aponeurosis protects brachial artery and median nerve during venepuncture

Diagram

Cubital fossa diagram showing boundaries (brachioradialis laterally, pronator teres medially), floor (brachialis), roof (bicipital aponeurosis), and contents: biceps tendon, brachial artery bifurcating, median nerve

Applied Anatomy

  1. Venepuncture: The median cubital vein in the roof is the standard site for blood collection and IV cannulation. The bicipital aponeurosis separates it from the brachial artery (protects against accidental arterial puncture).
  2. Blood pressure measurement: Brachial artery pulse is auscultated in the cubital fossa when taking BP.
  3. Supracondylar fracture of humerus in children can damage the brachial artery and median nerve in the fossa.
  4. Bicipital tendinitis: Pain in cubital fossa on resisted supination.
  5. The radial nerve divides here β€” fracture-dislocations of the radial head can injure the posterior interosseous nerve, causing finger drop without wrist drop (ECRL spared).
(BD Chaurasia Vol. 1; Vishram Singh Vol. 1)

Q17. Axilla β€” Boundaries, Contents & Applied Anatomy (3 marks)

  2. Posterior (subscapular) group β€” along subscapular vessels
  3. Lateral group β€” along axillary vein
  4. Central group β€” embedded in axillary fat pad
  5. Apical group β€” at apex, along axillary vein; drain into subclavian trunk
Others:
  • Axillary fat
  • Axillary tail of breast (Spence's tail)

Applied Anatomy

  1. Breast cancer surgery (mastectomy): Axillary lymph node dissection is performed to stage breast cancer. The long thoracic nerve (serratus anterior) and thoracodorsal nerve (latissimus dorsi) must be preserved.
  2. Axillary nerve injury: Dislocation of the shoulder joint (most common cause) or fracture of the surgical neck of humerus damages the axillary nerve in the quadrangular space β†’ deltoid paralysis + sensory loss over the "regimental badge" area.
  3. Intercostobrachial nerve: Sacrificed in axillary dissection β†’ sensory loss over medial arm ("numbness" complained of after mastectomy).
  4. Axillary artery injury: Can occur in shoulder dislocation or penetrating trauma. Collateral circulation through scapular anastomosis (suprascapular ↔ circumflex scapular) maintains some perfusion to the limb.
  5. Axillary abscess: Deep abscess in the axilla requires drainage; contains all major neurovascular structures β€” requires careful approach.

Examiner's Note: All answers follow the BD Chaurasia (Vol. 1) and Vishram Singh (Vol. 1 β€” Upper Limb) curriculum. Images are sourced from Gray's Anatomy for Students (textbook library). For diagram questions specifically requested (Q8 Brachial Plexus, Q16 Cubital Fossa), complete labeled images are included. Each answer is calibrated to its mark allocation, with clinical correlations that earn extra marks in university exams.
