Arm & Forearm Flashcards
function of extensor digitorum?
extend fingers & wrist
function of palmaris longus?
flex wrist
function of extensor pollicis longus
extends interphalangeal, metacarpophalangeal & carpometacarpal jts
this nerve continues UNDER carpal tunnel to supply lateral hand
median nerve
deep branch of radial nerve is called…
posterior interosseous
boundaries of cubital fossa?
Lateral = brachioradialis Medial = pronator teres Superior = line between epicondyles Floor = brachialis & supinator
Identify.
ulnar nerve
Biceps Brachii origin insertion action supply
origin (long head)= supraglenoid tubercle of scapula origin (short head) = coracoid process of scapula insertion = radial tuberosity of radius action = flex, supinate forearm supply = musculocutaneous n, brachial a/v
innervation of palmaris longus, flexor carpi radialis, pronator teres?
median nerve
function of abductor pollicis longus
abducts thumb
Coracobrachialis origin insertion action supply
origin = coracoid process of scapula insertion = medial humerus action = flexes forearm supply = musculocutaneous nerve, brachial a/v
function of brachioradialis
flexor of forearm
Identify 1-3.
- Flexor digitorum profundus
- Flexor pollicis longus
- Pronator quadratus
innervation to flexor digitorum profundus?
1/2 median, 1/2 ulnar
tendon that overlies the carpal tunnel
flexor retinaculum
Identify.
brachioradialis
__ crosses over ___ for pronation ___ crosses over ___ for supination
radius, ulna ulna, radius
Identify 1-4.
- anular ligament
- ulna
- interosseus membrane
- radius
continues OVER carpal tunnel to supply medial/deep hand
ulnar nerve
after the axillary artery crosses this muscle, it is called the brachial artery
teres major
this muscle creates carpal tunnel with its 4 tendons
flexor digitorum superficialis
which muscles contract to pronate the forearm? which muscles contract to supinate the forearm?
pronator teres, pronator quadratus supinator, biceps brachii
function of extensor pollicis brevis
extends metacarpophalangeal & carpometacarpal jts
this nerve runs between superficial & deep anterior forearm muscles
median nerve
