ANATOMY: Forearm Flashcards
extensor carpi ulnaris
innervation
deep radial n.
brachioradialis:
attachments, function
o: lateral supracondyle of the humerus
i: lateral distal radius (does NOT cross wrist joint)
flexes the forearm (only placed in this compartment because of it’s innervation)
extensor pollicis brevis
attachments, function
o: posterior radius
i: base of proximal phalanx of thumb
extends thumb at CMC and MCP
what are the tendons that make up the anatomical snuff box?
extensor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis
friend nerve to the radial a.
superficial radial n.
brachioradialis: innervation
where does this come from?
radial n.
terminal branch off the posterior cord
extensor digitorum
innervation, where does this come from?
deep radial n.
from radial n. (posterior cord terminal branch)
contents of the anatomical snuff box
radial a.
superficial radial n.
scaphoid/trapezium
flexor digitorum superficiales
attachment, function
o: medial epicondyle, anterior radius/ulna
i: MIDDLE phalanges of finger
flexes wrist, MCPs and PIPs
DOES NOT FLEX DIPs
the ________ __________ makes the roof of the carpal tunnel
flexor retunaculum
extensor carpi radialis brevis
attachments, function
o: lateral epicondyle humerus
i: dorsal surface of metacarpal
extends wrist, abducts hand (radial deviation)

pronator teres: innervation
where does this come from?
median n.
terminal branch of the medial and lateral cords of brachial plexus
flexor carpi radiales:
innervation? where does this come from?
median n.
a terminal branch off the medial and lateral cords
what tendons form the anatomical snuff box?
