MUSCLES OF UPPER MEMBER

1 - Muscles that act on the shoulder joint 1.1) 1.2) Deltoid coracobrachialis
2nd - Muscles that act on the elbow joint 2.1) 2.2) 2.3) 2.4) 2.5) Brachial Bice
ps brachii Triceps brachii brachioradialis Ancona
3 - forearm muscles that act on the hands and fingers located in the forearm mus
cles can be located in two compartments: the anterior compartment and posterior
compartment. In the anterior compartment muscles are 8, 5 surface and three deep
. In the posterior compartment, there are 12 muscles and 7 surface and five deep
. 3.1) Anterior compartment (8)
