Upper limb deep muscles, arteries & nerves
Product code: HP0505
-
Single Side Left or right side of a region / system / organ.
The upper limb is involved in numerous activities of daily living including feeding, object manipulation, non-verbal communication, and self-care. To achieve this, numerous muscles and joints work in harmony to bring about a wide range of seamlessly combined movements. Being able to visualise the position, course, or attachments of deeper structures, in relation to more superficial structures is challenging. This Silicone Plastinate provides views of deeply located muscles, tendons, arteries, and nerves of the upper limb, and their layered arrangements. The course, branching and destination of key neurovascular structures can be explored alongside common points for their access, entrapment, damage, or local block.

Key features include
General
- Scapula and upper limb, including the lateral part of the clavicle.
- Most veins removed to provide clear views of underlying/nearby structures.
Muscles and regions
- Forearm in a mid-pronation/supination position, and the thumb and fingers partially abducted.
- Muscles of the shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand.
- Superficial and intermediate layers of muscles are cut, lifted, or reflected to reveal deeper muscles and neurovascular structures.
- Deeper views of key regions including the triangular space, triangular interval, quadrangular space, cubital fossa, cubital tunnel, carpal tunnel, ulnar (Guyon) canal and radial foveola (anatomical snuffbox).
- Scapula with related scapulohumeral muscles including the rotator cuff and deltoid.
- Position and attachments of various hypaxial muscles of the back and muscles of the thorax to the scapula and humerus.
- Palmar aponeurosis removed to reveal underlying structures in the palm.
- Flexor retinaculum opened, and contents of the carpal tunnel lifted and separated.
- Window cut in superficial muscles of the flexor and extensor groups to reveal deeper structures in layers.
- Pulley system of fingers opened to reveal the arrangement of the flexor tendons.
- Posterior (extensor) compartments of the wrist opened, and tendons of superficial extensor muscles reflected to reveal the tendons of deeper muscles.
- Extensor expansions of the hand, with associated attachments of the muscles of the hand.
Neurovasculature
- Most veins removed to provide clear views of underlying/nearby structures.
- Axillary artery and its relationship with the cords and branches of the brachial plexus.
- Course, relations, and branches of key nerves, including the axillary, musculocutaneous, ulnar, median, and radial nerves.
- Course, relations, and branches of key arteries, including the axillary, brachial, ulnar, and radial.
- Superficial and deep palmar arches and their digital branches.
- Origin, course and relations of the digital nerves and arteries in the hand.
Possible variants or pathology (not guaranteed)
- Branching patterns of vessels, nerves, and nerve plexuses.
- Position and course of vessels and nerves.
