Anatomy- SPA forearm and hand Flashcards
palmar carpal ligament
palmar carpal ligament
the cubital fossa
most major structures pass through hereand into the hand via the carpal tunnel
Lateral intermuscular septum
a membrane that passes from the anterior border of the radius to the deep fascia surrounding the limb
ID This structure flexor retinaculum
flexor retinaculum
ID this structure
Name the 4 compartments of the hand
hypothenar
thenar
adductor
central
ID the things that run in each of the compartments of the hand
hypothenar: hypothenar muscles
thenar: thenar muscles
adductor: adductor pollicus
central: the flexor tendons, lumbricals, the superficial palmar arterial arch and the digital nerves and vessels.
What is the midpalm space and the significance?
midpalmarspaceis deep to the central compartment.
It is continuous with the anterior compartment of the forearm via the carpal tunnel
This is important because Infections of the hand may travel through the midpalmarspace into the forearm.
Identify the 4 thenar muscles
- Abductor pollicis brevis (APB)
- Flexor pollicis brevis (FPB)
- Opponens pollicis (OP)
- Adductor pollicis (AP)

what is unique about lumbricals and what are they innervated by
they connect to tensons instead of bone
1 and 2- median nerve
3 and 4- ulnar nerve
where do lumbricals originate
radial side of FDP tendon and insert on dorsal side of extensor expansions
O: flexor digitorum profundus (FDP)
I: extensor expansions of digits 2-5
innervated by the median nerve for 2 and 3 and by ulnar for 4 and 5
