Innervation. Pronator teres muscle receives its innervation from median nerve (root value C6 and C7), which is a branch of brachial plexus (C5-T1). Blood supply. The vascularization for pronator teres muscle comes from three arteries; Branches of ulnar artery; common interosseus artery, anterior ulnar recurrent artery
The pronator teres is innervated by the median nerve and nerve roots C6 and C7. To stimulate the pronator teres, a signal begins in the precentral gyrus in the brain and goes down through the internal capsule .
Pronator teres pronates the forearm and assists in flexion of the elbow joint. It acts synergistically with the pronator quadratus. If the elbow is fully flexed, then the muscle fibers are shortened and less able to produce force. Synergist: Pronator Quadratus Antagonist: Supinator, Biceps Brachii Clinical relevance [edit | edit source]
The pronator teres can be targeted by pulling a resistance band laterally with the elbow held in slight flexion, thus engaging the forearm in pronation. The two muscles responsible for pronation of the forearm (pronator teres and pronator quadratus) are both innervated by the median nerve.
Origins, insertions, innervation and functions of the pronator teres muscle. Watch the video tutorial now.
Attachments: Originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus and the coronoid process of the ulna. It attaches laterally to the mid-shaft of the radius. Actions: Pronation of the forearm. Innervation: Median nerve. Blood supply: Ulnar artery. Fig 1. The superficial muscles of the anterior forearm.
The pronator teres constitutes the medial margin of one of the arm’s critical anatomical landmarks, the cubital fossa or elbow pit. As is evident from the name, it is the small triangular area on the inner side of the elbow, between the upper and lower arms.
Pronator Teres. Origin. Medial epicondyle of humerus and coronoid process of ulna. Insertion. Middle of lateral surface of radius. Action. Pronates and flexes forearm (at elbow) Innervation. Median nerve (C6, C7)
Quick Facts. Origin: Medial supracondylar ridge of humerus, via the common flexor tendon, and medial aspect of coronoid process of ulna. Insertion: Middle one third of anterolateral aspect of radius. Action: Pronates forearm at radioulnar joints. Innervation: Median nerve (C6-C7).
Innervation. The pronator teres is innervated by the median nerve, specifically by branches from the anterior interosseous nerve and the median nerve itself. This innervation is crucial for the muscle’s movement and sensory functions. Relations
