Pronator teres
Flexor Carpi radialis
Palmaris longus
Flexor Carpi ulnaris
Origin, insertion, Innervation and Muscle actions of pronator teres?
O: Medial epicondyle have a humeral, and ulnar heads
I: Midshaft of radius
In:Median nerve which passes between 2 heads
MA: Pronates forearm
Origin, insertion, Innervation and Muscle actions of Flexor Carpi radialis?
O: Common tendon
I: base of 2nd metacarpal
In: median nerve
MA: flexes and abducts wrists
Origin, insertion, Innervation and Muscle actions of Palmaris longus
O: common tendon
I: palmar aponeurosis
In: median nerve
MA: Flexes wrist
Origin, insertion, Innervation and Muscle actions of Flexor Carpi ulnaris?
O: common tendon and ulna
I: pisiform and hamate
In: ulnar nerve which passes thru the 2 heads
MA: Flexes and adducts wrist
Origin, insertion, Innervation and Muscle actions of Flexor digitorum superficialis?
Constitued the intermediate layer of the forearm muscles
O: common tendon, radius and ulna
I: Middle phalanges of 2-5
In: median nerve
MA: Flexes MP and PIP joints of 2-5 fingers
What are the muscles of the deep layer of the anterior forearm?
Flexor digitorum profundis
Flexor pollicis longus
Pronator quadratus
Origin, insertion, Innervation and Muscle actions of Flexor digitorum profundis?
O: IOM and ulna
I: Distal phalanges 2-5
In: Median and ulnar nerves
MA: flexes all joints (MP, PIP, DIP) of 2-5
Origin, insertion, Innervation and Muscle actions of Flexor pollicis longus?
O: IOM and radius
I: distal phalanx of thumb
In: median nerve
MA: Flexes all joints of thumb
Origin, insertion, Innervation and Muscle actions of pronator quadratus?
O: ulna
I: radius
In: median nerve
MA: pronates forearm
What are the muscles of the thenar eminence?
Abductor pollicis brevis
Flexor pollicis brevis
Opponents pollicis
Adductor pollicis is not part of the thenar eminence but move the thumb
Origin, insertion, Innervation and Muscle actions of the abductor pollicis brevis?
O: Trapezium
I: radial side of base of the proximal phalanx
Inn: recurrent median
MA: abducts thumb at MP and CMC joints
Origin, insertion, Innervation and Muscle actions of Flexor pollicis brevis?
O: trapezium
I: base of proximal phalanx
In: recurrent median
MA: flexes thumb at MP and CMC joints
Origin, insertion, Innervation and Muscle actions of the opponens pollicis?
O: trapezium
I: base of 1st metacarpal
In: recurrent median
MA: Flexes, abducts, medially rotates thumb at CMC joint
Adducts, flexes medially rotates thumb in opposition toward other digits
Origin, insertion, Innervation and Muscle actions of Adductor pollicis?
O: transverse head from 3rd metacarpal, oblique head from base of 2-3 rd metacarpal and capitate
I: base of proximal phalanx
In: deep ulnar
MA:Adducts thumb at CMC joint and aids in flexion of the CMC and MP joints (pinch grip)
