Q

What extends over the central palmar area?

A

Palmar aponeurosis

26
Q

Describe the structure of the palmar aponeurosis

A

It extends distally from the flexor retinaculum and divides into slips, one to each of the digits 2 to 5. Each slip is attached to the fibrous flexor sheath of each digit

27
Q

What constitutes the thenar eminence?

A

abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis and opponens pollicis

28
Q

Where do the thenar eminence muscles originate?

A

flexor retinaculum and the most lateral carpal bones.

29
Q

Where do the abductor pollicis brevis and flexor pollicis brevis muscles insert?

A

Proximal phalanx of the thumb

30
Q

What is the function of the abductor pollicis brevis and flexor pollicis brevis muscles?

A

Abduct and flex the thumb

31
Q

Where does the opponens pollicis muscle lay?

A

deep to abductor and flexor pollicis brevis

32
Q

Where does opponens pollicis muscle insert?

A

First metacarpal

33
Q

What is the function of opponens pollicis?

A

brings the thumb into contact with the little finger, thereby performing the movement of opposition.

34
Q

Name the muscles that constitute the hypothenar eminence

A

abductor digiti minimi
flexor digiti minimi
opponens digiti minimi.

35
Q

Where do the hypothenar eminence muscles originate?

A

flexor retinaculum and the most medial carpal bones.

36
Q

Where do the abductor digiti minimi and flexor digiti minimi muscles insert?

A

proximal phalanx of digit 5 and abduct and flex the little finger respectively.

37
Q

Where does opponens digiti minimi lay?

A

deep to the abductor and flexor digiti minimi

38
Q

Where does opponens digiti minimi insert?

A

5th metacarpal

39
Q

What is the function of opponens digiti minimi?

A

bring the little finger towards the thumb during opposition.

40
Q

How many lumbrical muscles are there?

A

4

41
Q

Where do the lumbrical muscles sit?

A

on the radial side of the tendons of flexor digitorum profundus.

42
Q

Give the origin of the lumbrical muscles

A

tendons of flexor digitorum profundus

43
Q

Where do the lumbrical muscles insert?

A

dorsal digital expansion

44
Q

Name the two groups of interossei muscles

A

dorsal interossei and the palmar interossei

45
Q

Where do the dorsal interossei muscles originate?

A

sides of the metacarpal bones

46
Q

Where do the dorsal interossei muscles insert?

A

dorsal digital expansion

47
Q

Give the origin of the 3 palmar interossei muscles

A

2nd, 4th and 5th metacarpals

48
Q

Give the insertion of the 3 palmar interossei muscles

A

dorsal digital expansions

49
Q

Where does the adductor pollicis muscle lay?

A

Deep to the thenar muscles

50
Q

Name the two heads of adductor pollicis

A

Transverse

Oblique

51
Q

Give the origin of the transverse head

A

third metacarpal

52
Q

Give the origin of the oblique head

A

second and third metacarpals and adjacent carpal bones.

53
Q

Where do the heads of adductor pollicis insert?

A

base of the proximal phalanx of the thumb

54
Q

What is the function of adductor pollicis?

A

bring the abducted thumb back into contact with the index finger

55
Q

Describe the blood supply in the hand

A

ulnar artery is relatively superficial and passes into the palm of the hand lateral to the pisiform bone.

The ulnar artery proceeds into the palm of the hand to form the main part of the superficial palmar arch, which is superficial relative to the long flexor tendons. From the convexity of this arch, three digital arteries arise that divide to supply blood to adjacent sides of the digits.

56
Q

Which artery does the superficial palmar arch join?

A

Radial artery

57
Q

What does the radial artery form in the palm?

A

Deep palmar arch

58
Q

Name the nerves which supply d1-half of d3

A

Digital nerves

59
Q

What are digital nerves a branch of?

A

Median nerve

60
Q

What supplies the thenar muscles?

A

Recurrent branch

61
Q

What does the ulnar nerve divide into at the wrist?

A

Deep and cutaneous nerves
