Anatomy MSK S28-35 Flashcards
Where are the adhesions of fascia in the arm?
Not in lower forarm to allow them to move independently. Closer to the elbow there are more adhesion from
what are the layers of the anterior(flexor) compartment of the forarm/
4 layers
What is the first layer of the forarm(most superficial)?
There are 4 muscles to wrist and shorter one. pronator teres, 3 indicidual (palmaris longus, flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor carpi radialis) group of 4 tendons for fingers that does flexion of finders
Describe pronator teres?
Cylindrical muscles used for pronation between medial epicondyl do middle of radius
What is palmaris longus?
Palmar fascia not all have it
What is palmaris brevis?
It closes the palm from the fascia
What does flexor carpi radialis do?
It runs from the elbow to the carpal bones to flex the wrist
What do felxor digitorum superficialis do?
They flex the proximal interphalangeal and metacarpal joints
Where is pronator quadratus?
it pronates the arm and isbetween the radius and ulnar
Which nerve runs through the carpel tunnel?
Median nerve
What does the path of the cephalic vein do?
palmar arch in the back of the hand and joind thumb vein and runs along forarm to the antegubital fossa and in grooe between biceps
What is the path of the basilar vein?
From the arch on the medial side of elbow to connect at the brachial vein
Which nerve supplies the to anterior arm?
Musculocutaneous nerve
What nerve supplies the posterior arm and forarm?
The radial nerve
What nerve supplies the anterior of the forarm?
Mainly median all but 2 which are by the ulnar(flexor carpi ulnaris flexor digitorum profundus to medial two fingers)
How are the metacarpal bones arranged/
In two rows
Name the metacarpal bones
scaphoid lunatetriquertral and pisiform. trapezium trapezioud capitate and hammate
Which metacarpals communicate with the radius?
scaphoid and lunate
Which metacarpal articulates with the thumb?
The trapezium
What is the importance of the scaphoid?
If it is fractured its blood supply can be cut off
What supplies the superficial palmar arch?
The ulnar artery
Which blood vessel goes between the metacarpals?
The radial artery forming the deep palmar arch
Which muscles are there in the hands?
The lumbricals
What allows tendons in the hand to move freely?
A synovial sheath
