Upper Limb Muscle Attachment

This document summarizes the muscle attachment sites in the upper limb, including the clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpus and hand. It details the origin, insertion and innervation of over 30 muscles. The muscles of the arm, forearm and hand are grouped based on their actions and locations on the anterior or posterior surfaces. For each muscle, the document specifies the nerve responsible for innervation.
