Ⅳ. The cubital fossa
 It is a triangular depression
at the bend of the elbow.
 The doundaries---laterally--- the brachioradialis;
Medially---the pronator teres;
Speriorly--- the base
An imaginary line between the two humeral epicondyles.
 The contents---- from the lateral to medial sides
radial n. , lateral antebrachial cutaneous n. ,
tendon of biceps brachii, terminal part of brachial a. and vein,
median n.
few deep cubital lymph nodes
which lie at the bifurcation of the artery.
Ⅴ.The carpal canal
 It is formed by the flexor retinaculum and the
groove of the carpal bones;
 It transmits the tendons of
the flexor digitorum superficialis,
the flexor digitorum profundus,
the flexor pollicis longus and
the median nerve.
 The carpal canal syndrome--sensory loss over the lateral 2/3 of the palm and
lateral 32 fingers, atrophy of the thenar m. and
lateral two lumbrical m.
The characteristic deformity is referred to as “ape hand”.

1). The musculocutaneous n.
--arises from lateral cord.
--becomes the lateral antebrachial cutaneous n..
--muscular branches innervate the coraco- brachialis, biceps
branchii and brachialis m.
--cutaneous branches is distributed to the skin of the lateral
side of the forearm.
2). The median n.
--arises by two roots, one from the lateral and one from the
medial cord.
--motor fibers innervate the muscles in front of the forearm,
except the brachioradialis, the flexor carpi ulnaris and the
medial half of the flexor digitorum profundus.
--sensory fibers is distributed to the skin of the lateral 2/3
palmar and fingers.

--“ape-like” hand
3). The ulnar n.
--arises from medial cord.
--muscular branches innervate the flexor carpi ulnaris and the
medial half of the flexor digitorum profundus.
--sensory fibers is distributed to the skin of the medial 1/3
palmar and fingers, as well as the ulnar half of the dorsum of
the hand.
4). The radial n.
--arises from posterior cord.
--muscular branches innervate the muscles of the posterior
groups of the upper limb, as well as the brachioradialis.
--sensory fibers is distributed to the skin on the dorsum of both
the arm and forearm, skin on the radial side of the dorsum of
the hand.
--“wrist drop”
