Q

ANTERIOR of forearm

Go to kenhub and revise all the muscles of the anterior forearm

What innervates them?

Is it flexor digitorum profundus or superficialis that goes all the way to the DIP joints?

A

All medial nerve apart from:
Flexor carpi ulnaris
Flexor digitorum profundus - ulnar half
^^ ulnar nerve - link to U in muscles

Digitorum profundus goes to DIP joints

Q

Describe the arterial supply of the arm

easier to draw out

A

1) Subclavian
- lateral aspect of rib 1 -
2) Axillary
- inferior border of teres major-
3) Brachial
4a) Radial 4b) Ulnar
5a) Deep palmar 5b) Superficial palmar

17
Q

Deep veins follow the same pattern as arteries in the upper limb. True or false?

A

True

18
Q

Both the basilic and cephalic veins arise from the dorsum of the hand. For each of these veins state on what side of the upper limb they run and where they drain into.

A

Cephalic - radial - axillary (Ceph = seff = rad)

Basilic - ulnar - brachial (2 B’s)

19
Q

What vein is used for venepuncture?

What is this an anastomose of?

A

Medial cubital vein

Basilic and cephalic

20
Q

What part of the humerus does the ulna articulate with?

What part of the humerus does the radius articulate with?

A

Trochlea - ulna

Capitulum - radius

Memory aid

  • Radius has circle at head where it articulates with humerus
  • Capital at centre of circle
  • Radius = capitulum
21
Q

What joints exist within the elbow?

What type of joint is each

A

Humeroulnar - hinge
Humeroradial/ radiocapitallar - ball n socket (acts like a pivot due to anular ligament)
Proximal radioulnar - pivot

22
Q

Answer each of the following regarding ligaments:

  1. What ligament supports and holds the radius to the ulna?
  2. What is the name for the triangular shaped ligament found on medial side of the elbow?
  3. What is the name for the ligament found on the lateral side of the elbow?

Label on Onenote

A
  1. Anular
  2. Ulnar collateral ligament
  3. Radial collateral ligament
23
Q

What muscles are responsible for the following movements of the elbow:

  • Extension
  • Flexion
  • Supination
  • Pronation
A

Extension - triceps

Flexion - brachialis and biceps brachii

Supination - supinator and bicpes brachii

Pronation - pronator quadratus + pronator teres

24
Q

What are the epicondyles of the humerus?

A

Widest projections of humerus most distally (at the elbow joint)

25
Q

What movement occurs at the radiocapitallar joint?

A

Supination/pronation

26
Q

What carpal bone is a seasmoid bone found in the flexor carpi ulnaris?

A

Pisiform
