135
Q

For the Lumbrical Muscles

What are their innervations?

A

1st and 2nd: Recurrant Branch of the Median Nerve

3rd and 4th: Deep Ulnar Nerve

This is the 1/2 L, in 1/2 LOAF 1/2

136
Q

For the Dorsal Interosseous Muscles

Where do the attach?

How many of these do we have?

A

Go between a given digit, and the digit closer to the middle finger.

Eg. 1st Digit to 2nd Digit, but 5th Digit to 4th Digit

Four. The 2nd and 4th have one. The 3rd Digit abducts both ways and has two.

The thumb and pinky have their own abductors

137
Q

For the Dorsal Interosseous Muscles

What is their action?

A

Abduction of the fingers, except 1st and 5th

DAB Dorsals ABduct
