Anatomy Limbs 4 - Hand Flashcards
Where does the palmar aponeurosis extend from?
The flexor retinaculum
What are the borders of the septa of the hand
Septa extends from palmar aponeurosis to little finger metacarpal (medially) and middle finger metacarpal (laterally)
On the forearm, pronators and flexors are ?
Anterior
On the forearm, extensors and supinators are?
Posterior
What muscles are in the superficial anterior compartment of the forearm?
- Pronator teres
- Flexor carpi radialis
- Palmaris longus
- Flexor carpi ulnaris
- Flexor digitorum superficialis
What muscles are in the deep anterior compartment of the forearm?
- Flexor digitorum profundus
- Flexor pollicis longus
- Pronator quadratus
What are the groups of intrinsic muscles of the hand?
- Thenar muscles
- Adductor muscle
- Hypothenar muscles
- Interossei and lumbricals
What muscles form the thenar muscles
- Abductor pollicis brevis
- Flexor pollicis brevis
- Opponens pollicis
What muscle forms the adductor muscle
Adductor pollicis
What muscle forms the hypothenar muscles
- Abductor digiti minimi
- Flexor digiti minimi
- Opponens digiti minimi
What do lumbricals do?
Flex MCPS, extend IPJs
What do palmar interossei do?
Adduct digits
What do dorsal interossei do?
Abduct the digits
In thumb movements, which movements have a long and short muscle acting?
Abduction (APL /APB)
Extension (EPL / EPB / APL)
Flexion (FPL/FPB)
“Pollicis” muscles are supplied by which nerve?
Ulnar
Thenar muscles are supplied by which nerve?
Median nerve
Lumbricals extend from the palmar region to the dorsal region
Y
Describe what PAD and DAB refers to?
PAD = Palmar interossei ADDUCT (thumb and little finger have their0 own adductors)
DAB = Dorsal interossei ABDUCT (there is no dorsal interossei by the thumb because the thumb has its own abductor)
Explain the path of the flexor digitorum profundus and superficialis
FDP and FDS tendons pass underneath carpal tunnel beneath flexor retinaculum
Enters common synovial sheath then common digital sheath
Does the thumb have its own sheath?
