Upper limb muscles, arteries, veins & nerves
Product code: HP0503
-
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. Being able to visualise the attachments of a muscle and the distribution of neurovascular structures helps explain their action(s) and testing, common sites of injury, and the patient symptoms associated with a loss of function. This Silicone Plastinate provides clear views of the muscles, tendons, arteries, veins and nerves of the upper limb, and their layered arrangement. The course, branching and destination of key neurovascular structure are revealed alongside common points for their access, entrapment, damage, or local block.

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, shown mainly in the anatomical position.
- Boundaries and neurovascular contents of key regions, including the triangular space, triangular interval, quadrangular space, cubital fossa, cubital tunnel, carpal tunnel, and ulnar (Guyon) canal.
- 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.
- Various muscles are lifted or reflected to reveal their layered arrangement and underlying structures and regions.
- Boundaries of the regions (sites) for elbow and radiocarpal join injection/aspiration.
- Palmar aponeurosis lifted and reflected to reveal underlying structures in the palm.
- Carpal tunnel and associated contents in their anatomical position.
- Pulley system of fingers both in-situ and opened to reveal the arrangement of the flexor tendons.
- Posterior (extensor) compartments of the wrist and the associated tendons.
- Extensor expansions of the hand, with associated attachments of the muscles of the hand.
Neurovasculature
- Key superficial and deep veins of the upper limb, including the dorsal network of hand and the cephalic, basilic, median cubital and axillary veins.
- Axillary artery and its relationship with the cords and branches of the brachial plexus.
- Course, relations, and branches of key nerves, including the axillary (partially exposed), musculocutaneous, ulnar, median, and radial nerves.
- Course, relations, and branches of key arteries, including the axillary, brachial, ulnar, and radial.
