Articularis cubiti muscle
Articularis cubiti muscle is a small skeletal muscle located in the human arm. It is considered part of the human musculoskeletal system, which is responsible for movement and stability. The muscle is situated near the elbow joint, hence the term 'cubiti' which is derived from the Latin word 'cubitum', meaning elbow.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The Articularis cubiti muscle originates from the humerus, the long bone in the upper arm, and inserts into the capsule of the elbow joint. It is innervated by the radial nerve, one of the major nerves in the arm. The muscle is involved in the flexion of the elbow joint, allowing the arm to bend and straighten.
Function[edit | edit source]
The primary function of the Articularis cubiti muscle is to facilitate the movement of the elbow joint. It does this by contracting and relaxing, which allows the elbow to bend and straighten. This muscle plays a crucial role in many daily activities, such as lifting objects, throwing, and even simple tasks like eating and writing.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
Injury or damage to the Articularis cubiti muscle can result in reduced mobility and pain in the elbow joint. Conditions such as tennis elbow or golfer's elbow, which are forms of tendinitis, can affect this muscle. Treatment typically involves physical therapy, medication for pain relief, and in severe cases, surgery.
