Antebrachial Extensors Flashcards
1
Q
Lister’s tubercle
A
- on dorsal distal radius
- pulley (changes muscle direction/angle) for extensor pollicis longus tendon
2
Q
Carpals
A
- proximal: scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform
- distal: trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate
3
Q
Distal Radioulnar Joint (DRUJ)
A
- synovial, pivot (uniaxial)
- pronation, supination
- supporting ligaments = volar and dorsal radioulnar ligaments
4
Q
Radiocarpal Joint
A
- radius + scaphoid & lunate
- synovial, ellipsoid (biaxial)
- wrist flexion, extension, radial deviation, ulnar deviation
5
Q
Midcarpal Joint
A
- interaction b/w proximal and distal carpal bones to perform global wrist and hand movements
- synovial, ellipsoid (biaxial)
- wrist flexion, extension, radial deviation, ulnar deviation, circumduction
6
Q
Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC)
A
- cushion b/w distal ulna and carpals
- stability on ulnar side of wrist
7
Q
Carpometacarpal Joints (CMC)
A
- carpals + metacarpals
- gliding
- volar/dorsal gliding
8
Q
Metacarpophalangeal Joints (MCP)
A
- metacarpals + phalanges
- synovial, ellipsoid (biaxial)
- finger flexion, extension, abduction, adduction
- flexion = volar gliding
- extension = dorsal gliding
9
Q
Interphalangeal Joints (IP)
A
- b/w phalanges
- synovial, hinge (uniaxial)
- finger flexion, extension
- proximal (PIP) and distal (DIP)
- thumb only has 1 … IP
10
Q
Carpometacarpal Joint (CMC) of Thumb
A
- trapezium + 1st metacarpal
- synovial, saddle (biaxial)
- thumb flexion, extension, abduction, adduction
- basilar joint
11
Q
Arterial Supply
A
ulnar artery > common interosseous a. > splits into posterior and anterior interosseous arteries
- posterior interosseous a. runs through aperture of interosseous membrane
12
Q
Intrinsic vs Extrinsic Muscles
A
- extrinsic = originate proximal to wrist, generate greater force
- intrinsic = contained entirely w/in hand, precise control
13
Q
Superficial Layer of Extrinsic Extensor Muscles
A
- extensor carpi radialis longus
- extensor carpi radialis brevis
- extensor digitorum
- extensor digiti minimi
- extensor carpi ulnaris
14
Q
Deep Layer of Extrinsic Extensor Muscles
A
- extensor indicis
- supinator
15
Q
Outcropping Layer of Extrinsic Extensor Muscles
A
- abductor pollicis longus
- extensor pollicis longus
- extensor pollicis brevis
