It notes that the UA is divided into anterior and posterior compartments by two fascial septa attached to the medial and lateral supracondylar ridges of the humerus. It identifies the biceps brachii, coracobrachialis, and brachialis muscles of the UA and notes the brachial artery and musculocutaneous nerve as the blood supply and nerve supply respectively.
