EXAM2_G13_Palmar Flashcards
ALLENS TEST
test patentcy of blood flow of radial and ulnar arteries
What supplies palm via deep palmar arch?
What is deep palmar arch in contact with (location)?
What are the thumb and index finger branches of this artery called respectively?
Radial Artery
contacts bases of metacarpals
PRINCEPS POLLICIS ARTERY (Thumb)
RADIALIS INDICIS ARTERY (Index finger)
What artery supplies via superficial palmar arch?
what is it deep to? superficial to? Lateral to?
Where does it travel through ?
Ulnar artery
deep to palmar aponeurosis, superficial to flexor aponeurosis and flexor tendons, lateral to ulnar nerve
Travels through GUYONS CANAL and terminates as superficial palmar arch and deep palmar branch
Compression of ulnar nerve through guyons canal is called what?
What symptoms?
ULNAR CANAL SYNDROME
Hyper-esthesia (diminished sensation of medial palm & pinky)
Paresis (weakness) of intrinsic hand muscles that are innervated by deep branch of ulnar nerve
Where is Ulnar nerve found?
deep to ? ermerges where? branches?
Where does it pass through
deep to FCU, medial to Ulnar artery
Emerges at wrist and gives palmar cutaneous branch
pass between palmar carpal ligament and flexor retinaculum and enters hand through Guyons Canal
What is guyons canal?
Tunnel between hook of hamate and pisiform
What does ulnar nerve divide into?
What innervations of each?
Deep branch (motor for hypothenar muscles, AdP, deep head of FPB, medial two lumbricals, all interossei)
Superficial branch (Motor to PB; common and proper palmar digital nerves that parallels arteries)
What provides cutaneous sensation of medial forearm and medial proximal palm?
Palmar Ulnar branch
What provides cutaneous sensation of lateral pinky and some palm around base of pinky?
Superficial branch of ulnar nerve
What provides cutaneous sensation of middle palm and up middle inner wrist?
Palmar Branch (median nerve derived proximal to wrist)
Where does palmar branch of median nerve enter the hand?
When enters hand what does it branch into?
What function?
Enters deep to flexor retinaculum then branches to become
-. Recurrent branch (MOTOR to THENAR) except deep head FPB
- Common palmar digital nerves
- Proper palmar digital nerves
Where do you test median nerve? Ulnar nerve?
Where can median be compressed? what symptoms
Median at tip of digit 2, ulnar at tip of pinky
Median can be compressed under flexor retinaculum and produces pain and paresthesias in cutaneous, can progress to motor problems too
