Introduction
• The arm is the part of the upper limb between shoulder and elbow.
• The primary neurovascular bundle of the arm is located on themedial side of the arm, hence protected by the limb, which it serves.
• Nerve of arm: musculocutaneous nerve (C5,C6,C7)
Other nerves: radial nerve, median nerve & ulnar nerve
• Artery of arm: brachial artery
• Biceps and triceps are the large muscles of arm.

Which nerve is prone to be damaged ?Answer: Radial nerve
Ant compartment1. Biceps brachii2. Brachilais3. CoracobrachialisPost compartment1. Triceps muscle
Muscles of arm
Muscles of anterior compartment1. Biceps brachii• Flexion (elbow and shoulder)• Supination of forearm2. Brachialis3. Coracobrachialis
Powerful flexion occurs in supineposition than in prone position.

Nerves of arm
Radial nerve
Ulnar nerve
• Muscles of ant. compartment :by the musculocutaneous nerveexcept brachialis which hasadditional innervation by radialnerve.
• It pierce the coracobrachialisduring its course.
• The nerve ends as the lateralcutaneous nerve of the forearm.
