21
Q

What is the origin, insertion and action of the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle?

A
O= medial epicondyle of humerus 
I= middle phalanx 2-5 
A= MCP/PIP joint flexion, assists with wrist flexion
22
Q

What is the origin, insertion and action of the flexor digitorum profundus muscle?

A
O= Ulna 
I= Distal phalanx 2-5 
A= Flexes all 3 finger joints (MCP, PIP, DIP)
23
Q

What is the origin, insertion and action of the extensor digitorum muscle?

A
O= Lateral epicondyle of humerus 
I= Distal phalanx 2-5 
A= Extends all 3 finger joints (MCP, PIP, DIP)
24
Q

What is the origin, insertion and action of the extensor indicis muscle?

A
O= Ulna 
I= Distal phalanx of 2nd finger 
A= Extends all 3 joints  of 2nd finger(MCP, PIP, DIP)
25
What is the origin, insertion and action of the extensor digiti minimi muscles?
``` O= Lateral epicondyle of humerus I= distal phalanx 5th finger A= Extends all 3 joints of 5th finger (MCP, PIP, DIP) ```
26
What is a common latin term for thumb?
Pollicis
27
What are some extrinsic thumb muscles?
- Flexor pollicis longus - Abductor pollicis longus - Extensor pollicis longus - Extensor pollicis brevis
28
What is the origin, insertion and action of the flexor pollicis longus muscle?
``` O= radius I= Distal phalanx thumb A= Flexes all 3 joints of thumb (CMC, MCP, IP) ```
29
What is the origin, insertion and action of the abductor pollicis longus muscle?
``` O= Radius I= 1st metacarpal A= Abducts thumb (CMC) ```
30
What is the origin, insertion and action of the extensor pollicis brevis muscle?
``` O= Radius I= Thumb A= Extends CMC, MCP joints of thumb ```
31
What is the origin, insertion and action of the extensor pollicis longus muscle?
``` O= Ulna I= Thumb A= Extends all 3 joints of the thumb (CMC, MCP, IP) ```
32
What are the 2 intrinsic muscles of the hand?
1. Thenar | 2. Hypothenar
33
Chunk of tissue at the base of the thumb (moves thumb)
Thenar
34
Bulk of tissue on the ulnar side of hand
Hypothenar
35
What are 2 types of grasps?
1. Power grips | 2. Precision grips
36
This type of grasp is used when objects need to be held forcefully while being moved. Whole hand grasp.
Power grip
37
This type of grasp is used when an object needs to be manipulated. Finer type of movement. Uses the thumb and finger tips.
Precision grip
38
What type of grasp is used to hold a hammer or using a door knob?
Power grip
39
What type of grasp is used to hold a pen or thread a needle?
Precision grip
40
Power Grip: Cyclindrical grip
- All fingers flexed around a object | - Ex. Holding a hammer, racquet, bottle, wheelbarrow
41
Power Grip: Spherical grip
- All fingers and thumb adducted around an object - Fingers spread apart, palm not involved - Ex. Picking up a glass by its top, holding an apple or doorknob
42
Power Grip: Hook grip
- 2nd-5th fingers flexed around an object in a hooklike manner - Thumb not usually involved - Ex. Holding onto a handle like a suitcase, wagon, bucket
43
Precision Grip: Pad-to-pad ---> Pinch grip
- MCP and PIP joints/fingers flexed | - Thumb and index finger
44
Precision Grip: Pad-to-pad---> Three-jaw chuck
- Involves thumb, index, middle fingers | - Ex. Holding a pen
45
Precision Grip: Pad-to-side --> Lateral Prehension
- Thumb pressed up on side of the index finger | - Ex. Holding a key
46
Precision Grip: Side-to-side
- Similar to pad-to-side grip - Req. adduction of 2 fingers (index or middle) - Weak grip - Ex. Holding a cigarette or pencil
