Chapter 7 Wrist and Hand Joint Extrinsic Muscles Flashcards
Flexor Carpi Radialis O&I
origin: medial epicondyle of humerus
insertion: base of 2nd and 3rd metacarpals on palmar surface
Flexor Carpi Radialis Action
flexion of wrist, abduction of wrist, weak flexion of elbow, weak pronation of forearm
Flexor Carpi Radialis Innervation
median nerve (C6, C7)
Palmaris Longus O&I
origin: medial epicondyle of humerus
insertion: palmar aponeurosis of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, metacarpals
Palmaris Longus Action
flexion of the wrist, weak flexion of the elbow
Palmaris Longus Innervation
median nerve (C6, C7)
Flexor Carpi Ulnaris O&I
origin: medial epicondyle of humerus and posterior aspect of proximal ulna
insertion: base of 5th metacarpal (palmar surface), pisiform, and hamate
Flexor Carpi Ulnaris Action
flexion of wrist, adduction of wrist, weak flexion of the elbow
Flexor Carpi Ulnaris Innervation
ulnar nerve (C8, T1)
Flexor Digitorum Superficialis O&I
origin: medial epicondyle of humerus
ulnar head: medial coronoid process
radial head: upper 2/3 of anterior border of the radius just distal to the radial tuberosity
insertion: each tendon splits and attaches to the sides of the middle phalanx of the four fingers on the palmar surface
Flexor Digitorum Superficialis Action
flexion of the fingers at the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints, flexion of the wrist, weak flexion of the elbow
Flexor Digitorum Superficialis Innervation
median nerve (C7, C8, T1)
Flexor Digitorum Profundus O&I
origin: proximal 3/4 of anterior and medial ulna
insertion: base of distal phalanges of four fingers
Flexor Digitorum Profundus Action
flexion of the four fingers at the metacarpophalageal, proximal interphalangeal, and distal interphalangeal joints, flexion of wrist
Flexor Digitorum Profundus Innervation
median nerve (C8, T1) to 2nd and 3rd fingers , ulnar nerve (C8, T1) to 4th and 5th fingers
Flexor Pollicis Longus O&I
origin: middle anterior surface of the radius and anterior medial border of the ulna just distal to the coronoid process
insertion: base of distal phalanx of thumb on palmar surface
Flexor Pollicis Longus Action
flexion of the thumb carpometacarpal, metacarpophalangeal, and interphalangeal joints, flexion of wrist, abduction of wrist
Flexor Pollicis Longus Innervation
median nerve palmar interosseous branch (C8, T1)
