An Entity of Type: anatomical structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The brachial fascia (deep fascia of the arm) is continuous with that covering the deltoideus and the pectoralis major muscle, by means of which it is attached, above, to the clavicle, acromion, and spine of the scapula; it forms a thin, loose, membranous sheath for the muscles of the arm, and sends septa between them; it is composed of fibers disposed in a circular or spiral direction, and connected together by vertical and oblique fibers. On either side it gives off a strong intermuscular septum, which is attached to the corresponding supracondylar ridge and epicondyle of the humerus.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • The brachial fascia (deep fascia of the arm) is continuous with that covering the deltoideus and the pectoralis major muscle, by means of which it is attached, above, to the clavicle, acromion, and spine of the scapula; it forms a thin, loose, membranous sheath for the muscles of the arm, and sends septa between them; it is composed of fibers disposed in a circular or spiral direction, and connected together by vertical and oblique fibers. It differs in thickness at different parts, being thin over the biceps brachii, but thicker where it covers the triceps brachii, and over the epicondyles of the humerus: it is strengthened by fibrous aponeuroses, derived from the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi medially, and from the deltoideus laterally. On either side it gives off a strong intermuscular septum, which is attached to the corresponding supracondylar ridge and epicondyle of the humerus. (en)
  • Die Fascia brachii oder Oberarmfaszie ist die Faszie, die die Oberarmmuskulatur umgibt. Sie geht proximal aus der Fascia deltoidea (Faszie des Musculus deltoideus), aus der Brustfaszie und hauptsächlich aus der Fascia axillaris (Achselfaszie) hervor und geht distal in die Fascia antebrachii über. Über transversal verlaufende Faserplatten der Septa intermusculari brachii ist die Faszie mit den Oberarmknochen verbunden, an dessen Epicondylen (Vorsprüngen) sie distal befestigt ist. Dabei sorgt die Faszie für eine Trennung des Musculus biceps brachii und des Musculus triceps brachii. Proximal steht sie mit dem Acromion, dem Schlüsselbein und der Spina scapulae in Verbindung. Seitlich und hinten ist die Fascia brachii stärker ausgeprägt als an der Vorderseite. (de)
