Q

Thenar Muscles

A

Opponens Pollicis - largest (lies under the other 2)
Abductor pollicis
Flexor pollicis

17
Q

What are the Lumbricals?

A

The four muscles in the hand, each associated with a finger.
Very crucial to finger movement, linking the extensor tendons to the flexor tendons.

18
Q

Where does each lumbrical originate?

A

At a tendon of the flexor digitorum profundus.
They pass dorsally and laterally around each finger, and inserts into the extensor hood.

19
Q

What innervates the lumbricals?

A
  • The lateral two lumbricals (of the index and middle fingers) are innervated by the median nerve.
  • The medial two lumbricals (of the little and ring fingers) are innervated by the ulnar nerve.
20
Q

The Interossei

A
  • Located between the metacarpal bones of the hand.
  • They can be divided into two groups – dorsal and palmar.
  • They abduct the fingers
  • Innervated by the ulnar nerve
21
Q

Dorsal intrerossei

A
  • The most superficial of all dorsal muscles.
  • There are 4 dorsal interossei
  • They abduct the digits.
22
Q

Palmer interossei

A
  • Located anteriorly on the hand.
  • There are three palmar interossei muscles.
23
Q

Palmaris brevis

A

A small, thin muscle, found superficially in the subcutaneous tissue of the hypothenar eminence (in the palm).

24
Q

Adductor Pollicis

A
  • The adductor pollicis large triangular muscle with two heads.
  • The radial artery passes anteriorly through the space between the two heads, forming the deep palmar arch.
