cubital fossa

It makes up part of the floor of the region known as the cubital fossa.

It lies in the cubital fossa superficial to the bicipital aponeurosis.

The area just superficial to the cubital fossa is often used for venous access (phlebotomy).

The pain is sometimes referred into the cubital fossa and elbow pain has been reported as being a primary complaint.

The brachial artery continues to the cubital fossa in the anterior compartment of the arm.

During blood pressure measurements, the stethoscope is placed over the brachial artery in the cubital fossa.

It continues down the ventral surface of the arm until it reaches the cubital fossa at the elbow.

The cubital fossa contains four main vertical structures (from lateral to medial):

The brachial pulse may be palpated in the cubital fossa also just medial to the tendon.

The median nerve arises from the cubital fossa and passes between the two heads of pronator teres.

These veins can be used for cannularisation or venipuncture, although the cubital fossa is a preferred site for getting blood.

The radial nerve is in the vicinity of the cubital fossa, located between brachioradialis and brachialis muscles.

The artery is in between the median nerve and the tendon of the biceps muscle in the cubital fossa.

Two punc- ture wounds in the cubital fossa - the triangular depression below the elbow crease.

The radial artery arises from the bifurcation of the brachial artery in the cubital fossa.

Blood is most commonly obtained from the median cubital vein, which lies within the cubital fossa anterior to the elbow.

The cubital fossa (colloquially known as the elbow pit) is clinically important for venepuncture and for blood pressure measurement.

The bicipitoradial bursa is one of the two bursae in the cubital fossa, the other being the interosseous bursa.

The test is performed by using a tendon hammer to quickly depress the biceps brachii tendon as it passes through the cubital fossa.

The cubital fossa or elbow pit is the triangular area on the anterior view of the elbow of a human or other hominid animal.

At the cubital fossa, this nerve is deep to the pronator teres muscle and is the most medial structure in the fossa.

Due to adenosine's extremely short half-life, the IV line is started as proximal (near) to the heart as possible, such as the cubital fossa.

The lateral border of the muscle forms the medial boundary of the triangular hollow known as the cubital fossa, which is situated anterior to the elbow.

There is a connecting vein between the two, the median cubital vein, which passes through the cubital fossa and is clinically important for venepuncture (withdrawing blood).

Inside the cubital fossa the median nerve passes medial to the brachial artery, in front of the point of insertion of the brachialis muscle and deep to the biceps.
