The arm

Tracing nerves, muscles, and vessels from the upper arm to the hand in detailed VR dissections

Explore ten layers of the arm model, revealing muscles, nerves, and vessels from the superficial skin and fascia to deep forearm and hand structures. Follow major nerves like the median, ulnar, and radial nerves, and arteries including the brachial, radial, and ulnar arteries, as they travel through the arm, forearm, and hand.

In this VR lesson, Evan guides you through the arm model dissected in ten layers, highlighting key anatomical pathways and structures. Starting superficially, he points out cutaneous nerves and veins in the skin and adipose tissue, along with deep muscular fascia and anterior forearm muscles. Deeper layers reveal the biceps brachii, medial epicondyle, and reflected muscles like the flexor carpi ulnaris, exposing the ulnar nerve, artery, vein, and deeper forearm muscles such as the flexor digitorum superficialis.

Evan then explores the hand’s anatomy, detailing tendons, thenar and hypothenar muscles, lumbricals, adductor pollicis, and palmar interosseous muscles. Posterior views showcase the extensor compartment muscles in situ.
