The cubital fossa is a triangular hollow in front of the elbow.
Its floor is formed by two muscles, brachialis in the upper part and supinator in the lower part.
Boundaries of the cubital fossa are formed as follows:
Medially by the lateral margin of pronator teres muscle.
Laterally by the medial margin of brachioradialis muscle.
Superiorly is boundered by an imaginary horizontal line, joining the front of
two epicondyles of the humerus. This imaginary line forms the base of the cubital fossa.
The apex of the fossa is at the meeting point of the lateral and medial boundaries. Here brachioradialis overlaps the pronator teres.
The central anatomical strucure of the cubital fossa is the tendon of biceps brachialis. This tendon is attached to the tuberosity of radius. While crossing form above downward the biceps tendon divides the cubital fossa into a lateral and a medial part.
The medial part contains the following structures:
The brachial artery located imediately medial to the biceps tendon. It terminates in the fossa at the level of neck of radius by dividing into radial and ulnar arteries. The radial artery is superficial and leaves the fossa at the apex. The ulnar artery is deep and leaves the fossa deep to the pronator teres.
The median nerve is placed medial to the brachial artery and leaves the fossa between two heads of pronator teres. The anterior ulnar recurent artery which originates from the superior part of ulnar artery is also present in the medial part of cubital fossa. This artery goes upward ,in the end passing in front of medial epicondyle.
The bicipital aponeurosis originates from the distal insertion of the biceps brachii. While the tendon of the biceps inserts on the radial tuberosity, the aponeurosis reinforces the cubital fossa, and helps to protect the brachial artery and the median nerve running underneath.
The lateral part of cubital fossa most importantly contains the radial nerve. The radial nerve lies in the gap between brachialis and brachioradialis. At the level of lateral epicondyle it divides into two terminal branches: superficial radial nerve and deep radial nerve. The deeps radial nerve dissapears in the substance of supinator muscle while the superficial radial nerve passes downwards under the cover of brachioradialis.
Also present in this region is the radial recurent artery. This artery originates from the radial artery and goes upward in front of the lateral epicondyle.

Hey man..u are just too good at making me umderstand anatomy..i wish u were my demostrator at medicle school

[@joannalalicata1281]

Im taking a phlebotomy class and I just learned more from you than I did in the past 3 weeks. Every phlebotomist should know this!

[@greyes71]

[@wickedwitch1848]

omg it was sooo good hope you wil make more videos like this thankyou soo much for clearing my anatomy concepts

[@radicalarachnid475]

Wonderful drawing. Easy to reproduce the diagrams. Thank you

[@deepanshug5727]

Simply excelent.

[@pasindubandara2918]

I am studying for my 1st main barrier exam in med school. This is awesome. It would be great if you can mention clinical part also.

This is to much helpful 🤠 for me and others students 🥳🙏

[@emanuelserban5339]

Jesus loves you

[@lekhamutyala790]

great presentation! the only error i find is that there's no tendon of biceps brachialis- biceps brachialis isn't even a muscle unless it's an alternative name for a muscle, and i dont know. i assume you mean to say the tendon of the biceps brachii. please confirm, and keep dropping more AK vids!

[@iresharathnasiri6295]

Perfect

[@emanuelserban5339]

Jesus loves you
