apart from 2 supplied by the ulnar nerve - flexor carpi ulnaris and medial/ulnar half of flexor digitorum profundus

what are the exceptions

Answer 12

ulnar nerve

except LOAF muscles - supplied by median nerve

Question 13

posterior forearm muscle innervation

Answer 13

radial nerve - posterior interosseous branch

Question 14

posterior arm muscle innervation

Answer 14

radial nerve

Question 15

LOAF muscles in hand innervation

Answer 15

median nerve

Answer 16

ulnar nerve

Question 17

Answer 17

cyclists

Question 18

trapezius innervation

Answer 18

CN XI

Question 19

serratus anterior innervation

Answer 19

long thoracic nerve

Question 20

which compartment is the coracobrachialis part of

Answer 20

anterior arm

= BBC (biceps brachii, brachialis, coracobrachialis)

Question 21

Answer 21

elbow flexion

Question 22

function of posterior arm

Answer 22

elbow extension

Question 23

function of anterior forearm

Answer 23

flex and pronate wrist

Question 24

function of posterior forearm

Answer 24

Question 25

which muscle in the anterior forearm has a dual nerve supply

Answer 25

flexor digitorum profundus

Question 26

which compartment is the brachioradialis in

Answer 26

posterior forearm

Question 27

where is the hypothenar eminence

what nerve supplies it

Answer 27

next to pinkie finger
supplied by ulnar

Thenar = Thumb
pinkie = ulnar side

Question 28

where is the thenar eminence

what nerve supplies it

Answer 28

next to thumb
supplied by median nerve (one of the LOAF muscles)

Thenar = Thumb
thumb = not on ulnar side = median

Question 29

is the hypothenar or the thenar eminence affected in carpal tunnel

Answer 29

thenar eminence - as supplied by the median

Question 30

LOAF muscles in hand supplied by median nerve

Answer 30

Lumbricals (2 of the 4, other 2 = ulnar supply)
Opponens pollicis
Abductor pollicis brevis
Flexor pollicis brevis

thenar eminence - 3 pollicis muscles = opponens, abductor, flexor

Question 31

what does the ulnar nerve supply in the hand

Answer 31

everything apart form 5 LOAF muscles (2 lubricals and 3 thenar eminence muscles (OAF))

Question 32

ulnar nerve palsy

Answer 32

claw hand
