25
Q

Which element has the largest melting point?

A

Tungsten

26
Q

This is just a quick reminder to drink plenty of water and watch your posture.

A

That’s all, get back to studying

27
Q

Which ligament provides 55% of resistance to valgus stress at the elbow at 90° flexion?

A

Ulna Collateral Ligament

28
Q

Which ligament is a strong band of fibers attached by both its ends to the anterior and posterior margins of the radial notch of the ulna?

A

Annular Ligament

29
Q

What two movemensts are possible at the annular ligament joint?

A

Pronation and Supination

30
Q

Review this diagram of the forearm

A
31
Q

What does the radial head articulate with?

A

Radial tuberosity of the humerus

32
Q

What is the thin fibrous sheath that connects the medial border of the radius to the lateral border of the ulna?

A

Intraosseus membrane

33
Q

Major function of the intraosseus membrane

A

Provides attachment for muscles in the anterior and posterior compartments

34
Q

Major movements of the elbow

A

Hinge: back and forth

Supination and pronation

35
Q

True or false, the radius can cross the ulna

A

True! This allows for pronation and supination

36
Q

Where does the axillary artery name change to brachial artery?

A

At the level of the lower margin of teres major muscle

37
Q

Give distributions of the major nerves of the shoulder, arms and forearms

Axillary

Musculocutaneous

Median

Ulnar
Radial

A

Axillar: deltoid and teres minor

Musculotaneous: Flexors

Median: Most of the flexor muscles of forearm and muscles in hand

Ulnar: FCU and part of forearm and intrinsic muscles in hand

Radial: innvervates all extensor muscles of arm and forearm

38
Q

Components and uses of anterior compartment of forearm

A

Flexion of wrists and fingers

Pronation

Superficia and deep layers

39
Q

Components and functions of posterior compartment of forearm

A

Extension of wirsts and fingers

Supination

Superficial and deep layer

40
Q

Three flexors of the wrist

*Most important: What is their common origin?

A

Flexor Carpi radialis

Flexor Carpi ulnaris

Palmaris longus

Origin: Medial epicondyle of humerus (FLEM)

41
Q

Which flexo flexes and abducts the wrist?

Can also assist in flexing elbow

A

Flexor carpi radialis

42
Q

Which flexor flexes the wrist and tenses the palmar fascia?

Can also assit in flexing elbow

A

Palmaris longus

43
Q

46
Q

Which nerve innervates the extensors of the wrist?

A

Radial nerve

47
Q

Origin of the Carpi Radialis Longus

(This is actually important)

A

Distal 1/3 of lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus

48
Q

Functions of both the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis and Longus

A

Extends wrist

Abducts wrist

Assists to flex elbow

49
Q

Functions of the extensor carpi ulnaris (2 of them)

A

Pronator teres and pronator quadratus

52
Q

Function of the supinator

A

Supinates forearm

(Who would’ve thought?)
