arm Flashcards
muscles in the anterior compartment of arm
coracobrachialis
brachialis
biceps
coracobrahachilas
insert halfway down the medial side of humerus
innervation- muscultaneous nerve
action - adductor
what are the anterior compartment of the arm muscles innervated by
musculotaneous nerves
brachialis (drinking)
origin- flat side of distal humerus
insertion- tubercle of the ulna
innervation- muscultaneous nerve
action- flexor
biceps
origin - two beacuse 2 heads
long head- supragleniod tubercle
short head - coracoid process
insertion - radial tubercle
action- flex
innervation- muscultaneous nerve
what is part of the posterior compartment of the arm
triceps (brachii)
triceps
3 heads
insertion on the olecranon of the ulna
innervation- radial nerve
action- extensor
bones of the forearm
radius and ulna
how many carpal bones are there
8
proximal row of carpal bones
pisiform, triquetral,lunate,scaphoid
distal row of carpal bones
hammate,capatate,trapeziod,trapezium
how do you remeber metacarpal bones
silly lovers try positions - proximal
that they cant handle - distal
moving laterally to medial
where are the metacarpal bones
palm of the hand
what are the groups of the anterior forearm muscles
superfical
intermediate
deep
what is interosseous membrane
membrane between the bones
what is the CFO
common flexor origin
medial epicondyle & supracondylar ridge of humerus
how many muscles are in the superficial group of forearm muscles and how do you remember them
4, PASS FAIL PASS FAIL
what are the pass fail muscles
PASS - Pronator teres
FAIL - Flexor carpi ulnaris
PASS- Palmaris longus
Fail - flexor carpi radialis
pronator teres
origin- CFO
insertion- lateral side of the shaft of the radius
innervation- median nerve
action- pronation (in the name!)
flexor carpi radials
origin- CFO
insertion- metacarpals 2&3
innervation- medial nerve
action- wrist flexor
palmaris longus
useless
origin- CFO
insertion- palmar aponeurosis
action- flexor (weak)
flexor carpi ulnaris
origin- CFO
insertion- pisiform
innervation- ulnar nerve (only one!!)
function- flexes/adducts
what is flexor retinaculum
fibours “bridge” that crosses from the medial to the lateral side of the wrist
forms the roof of the carpal tunnel
what is part of the intermediate group of the forearm
flexor digitorm profundus
