Cubital fossa

This video tutorial by Matt from Kenhub covers the anatomy of the cubital fossa, a triangular depression on the anterior surface of the elbow joint. It serves as a transition between the arm and forearm. The tutorial details the borders of the cubital fossa, which include the brachioradialis and pronator teres muscles, and the epicondyles of the humerus. It also describes the structures contained within the fossa, such as the biceps tendon, brachial artery, and median nerve. The video concludes with a promotion of Kenhub's anatomy learning resources.
