DETAIL:

DESCRIPTION:
The cubital fossa of the left arm. The front of the elbow joint
is covered by muscles and tendons. The brachial artery and the
median nerve cross the joint. The margins of the cubital fossa
are the brachioradialis on the lateral side and the pronator
teres on the medial side. The upper, or proximal, portion of the
cubital fossa is formed by the tendons of the biceps brachii and
the brachialis muscles. The contents of the fossa include the
brachial artery, median cubital vein, branches of the median
nerve, and cutaneous nerve branches to the skin of the forearm.
The large common origins of the flexor and extensor muscles are
found, respectively, at the
medial and lateral epicondyles of
the humerus.
The brachial artery normally bifurcates, or splits, into the
radial and the ulnar artery as it enters the cubital fossa.
Since the position of this division is variable, the physician
must inspect the artery thoroughly before ligating it. Care must
also be taken to avoid cutting off the blood supply to the
remaining forearm muscles. The median cubital vein (familiar to
persons who give blood) is the major superficial vein crossing
the cubital fossa. It is also quite variable and several
patterns of the venous circulation at the elbow are common.
