52X Upper Limbs Flashcards
Which nerve supplies cutaneous innervation to the lateral/anterior aspect of the forearm & what nerve does it originate from?
Lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve of forearm
O: musculocutaneous nerve
Which 2 nerves have no branches in the arm?
median
ulnar
What is the articular capsule reinforced by and what are their names?
Collateral ligaments;
Radial collateral
ulnar collateral
This extends from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus to the radial notch of the ulna
radial collateral ligament
This surrounds the head of the radius?
anular ligament
this connects from the medial epicondyle of humerus to coronoid process & olecranon of ulna?
Ulnar collateral ligament
This is a thin, strong, fibrous membrane that joins the radius & ulna of forearm & serves as attachment for som deep forearm muscles
interosseous membrane
What type of muscles are contained in the anterior compartment of the forearm?
Flexors & pronators
What type of muscles are contained in the posterior compartment of the forearm?
extensors & supinators
The posterior & anterior compartments can be further classified into 2 groups?
superficial & deep
Where do the muscles of the superficial anterior compartment of the forearm originate & what is their function?
O: medial epicondyle of humerus
function: flexion
What are the muscles of the superficial anterior compartmet of the forearm?
Flexor carpi radialis palmaris longus flexor carpi ulnaris flexor digitorum superficialis PRONATOR TERES
What is the Insertion / Action / innervation of Flexor Carpi Radialis
Insert: radial anterior hand (base of 2nd/3rd metacarpals)
Act: flex & abducts hand @ wrist (radial deviation)
Inner: median nerve
The flexor carpi radialis causes flexion & abduction of the hand @ the wrist. what is this known as?
radial deviation
What is the insertion / action / inervation of Palmaris Longus?
Insert: flexor retinaculum & palmar aponeurosis
Act: flex hand @ wrist & tightens palmar aponeurosis
Inner: median nerve
What is the insertion / action / innervation of Flexor Carpi Ulnaris?
Insert: Ulnar anterior hand carpals (Pisiform, hook of hamate, & base of 5th metacarpal)
Act: Flex & adduct hand @ wrist (Ulnar deviation)
Inner: Ulnar nerve
What is the Origin / insertion / action / innervation of Flexor Digitorum superficialis?
O: medial epicondyle of humerus & upper radius & ulna
Insert: anterior surface of middle phalanges of fingers (2-5)
Act: flex fingers, flex hand @ wrist
Inner: Median nerve
What is the origin insertion action innervation of Pronator teres
O: medial epicondyle of humerus
Inser: radius
Act: pronates forearm @ elbow
Inner: median nerve
The muscles of the Deep Anterior (flexor) compartment of the forearm all insert @ and function as?
insert on the BASE of distal phalanges
fubction as a flexors
What are the muscles of the deep anterior compartment of the forearm are?
Flexor Pollicis longus
Flexor digitorum profundus
pronator quadratus
What is the origin / insertion / action / innervation of flexor pollicis longus?
O: radius & interosseous membrane
Insert: disital phalanx of thumb
Act: flew distal phalanx of thumb
Inner: median nerve
What is the origin / insertion / action / innervation of Flexor Digitorum Profundus?
O: Ulna & Interosseous membrane
Insert: anterior surface of digits 2-5 distal phalanx
Act: flex fingers @ distal phalanx & assists w/ flexion of hand
inner: median & ulnar nerve
What is the difference in insertion sites of flexor digitorum Superficialis & profundus?
FD Superficialis: inserts @ anterior surface of middle phalanges
FD Profundus inserts @ anterior surface of distal phalanges
When conducting a test of the flexion of interphalangeal joint this is assessing?
function of flexor digitorum profundus
&/or
median nerve which innervates both FDP & FDS
What is characterized by catching, snapping, or locking of involved finger flexor tendon, associated with dysfunction & pain?
Stenosing tenosynovitis “Trigger Finger”
