The muscles of the arm are divided into 2 compartments by means of 2 intermuscular septa
Medial & lateral intermuscular septa arise from the deep fascia of the arm& attach to the medial & lateral borders of the humerus dividing the arm into 2 compartments :
1. Anterior compartment flexor muscles
2. Posterior compartment extensor muscles

BICEPS BRACHII
• Nerve supply: Musculocutaneous nerve
![Page 11: Muscles of the Arm and Cubital Fossa](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/568164dc550346895dd735e5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Action of biceps brachii :
• Powerful supinator of forearm
• Flexion of elbow joint• Weak flexor of shoulder• Long head helps to keep
humeral head in contact with glenoid cavity during movements of shoulder joint
![Page 12: Muscles of the Arm and Cubital Fossa](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/568164dc550346895dd735e5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Coracobrachialis• Origin: Tip of the
coracoid process• Insertion: Middle of
the medial side of the shaft of the humerus
• Nerve supply: Musculocutaneous
• Action: Flexor & a weak adductor of the arm
![Page 14: Muscles of the Arm and Cubital Fossa](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/568164dc550346895dd735e5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• Articularis cubiti (subanconeus ):
• Few fibers from the deep surface of lower part of medial head of triceps become inserted into the back of the elbow joint capsule
Action pulls capsule of elbow joint posteriorly during extension of elbow joint
