About Upper Limb
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The resources here follow the limb from the shoulder down to the fingertips. You will find bones, joints, muscles, nerves and vessels, plus a few clinical angles. Almost everything is written at university level.
- Bones: the quiz on the radius and ulna asks you to label the posterior and anterior views, and to tell the two bones apart.
- Muscles: the quiz on the anterior view of the arm and forearm covers eight muscles, including Brachioradialis, Pronator Teres and Flexor carpi radialis. It asks for innervation, origin, insertion and action.
- Nerves and vessels: the Brachial Plexus mind map runs from roots C5 to T1 through trunks, divisions and cords. The mind map on the forearm and hand follows the brachial, radial and ulnar arteries.
Where to start
Begin with the bones, so the landmarks make sense later. The mind map Bones of the upper limb and the quiz on the radius and ulna are a gentle way in. Then move to the shoulder, using the Anatomy Shoulder Complex quiz or the Rotator Cuff Muscles mind map.
Next, take the arm and forearm. The Extensors of the Forearm mind map sets out the seven superficial muscles, with origins and insertions. Flexors of the Forearm is its natural partner.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first, then close it and take a quiz on the same region. Wrong answers show you which branch to go back to. Flashcard decks, such as The Wrist Joint or Muscles of the Forearm, suit short sessions when you want quick recall.
The hand has its own cluster. The mind map My Hands are Aching looks at bones, joints and synovial fluid contents, and the Hand Anatomy quiz lets you check what stuck.
Where it sits
Upper Limb belongs to the strand Regional Anatomy: Trunk and Limbs, within Anatomy. Teachers can set a map or quiz as ready-made revision material for a class.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
If you are new to the unit, start with the Bones of the upper limb mind map, then try the quiz on the radius and ulna. Once you know the landmarks, the muscle and nerve resources are much easier to follow.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover the whole limb. There are maps on the Brachial Plexus, the Axillary Artery, Rotator Cuff Muscles, Extensors and Flexors of the Forearm, venous drainage, and clinical topics such as nerve issues and fractures in the arm.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr, so it helps to compare a few on the same topic.
Who are these resources aimed at?
Nearly all of them are written at university level, so they suit university students revising anatomy. Teachers can also use them as ready-made material for classes or revision tasks.
Can I check my muscle knowledge?
Yes. The quiz on the anterior view of the arm and forearm asks you to label muscles and give innervation, origin, insertion and action. The quiz on muscle innervation, actions and attachments for the upper arm and shoulder is another good test.
What if I can't find my topic?
Try a neighbouring region, as topics often sit under a broader title such as Upper Limb or The Hand. A free account also lets you save your quiz scores and build your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
