Forarm (own notes - raw anatomy) Flashcards
List the muscles of the superficial anterior compartment of the forearm
- flexor carpi ulnaris
- palmaris longus
- flexor digitorum superficialis
- flexor carpi radialis
- pronator teres
moving from medial to lateral
Describe the function, attachments and innervation of flexor carpi ulnaris
- o: CFO and olecranon
- i: via tunnel to pisiform, hook, base of 5th MT
- a: flexion and adduction
- n: ulnar nerve (exception to median nerve rule)
Describe the function, attachments and innervation of palmaris longus
o: CFO
i: flexor retinaculum
a: flexor of wrist
inn: median nerve
Describe the function, attachments and innervation of flexor digitorum superficialis
- o: CFO and radius
- i: 4 tendons that pass through tunnel and attaches to base of middle phalanges
- a: flexion of MCP and PIP, over wrist
- inn: median n
MEDIAN nerve slips through its heads with ulnar artery
Independent movement bc 4 muscles, 4 tendons
Describe the function, attachments and innervation of flexor carpi radialis
- o: CFO
- i: base of 2, 3 MCs (c.f. ECRL, ECRB)
- a: flexion and abduction
- inn:median nerve
Describe the function, attachments and innervation of pronator teres
- o: CFO and coronoid process
- i: midshaft and lateral radius
- a: pronation over flexion
- inn: median n.
List the components of the deep anterior compartment
- FDP
- FPL
- PQ
Describe the funciton, attachments and innervation of FDP
- o: proximal ulna and intosseous
- i: tendons via tunnel attaching to distal phalanges
- a:DIPs over MCP, PIP, wrist
- inn: It is the hybrid muscle supplied by two different nerves:Medial half (associated with ring and little fingers) is innervated by ulnar nerve
Lateral half (associated with middle and index fingers) by anterior interosseous nerve ( C8, T1)- motor branch of median nerve.
Describe the function, attachments and innervation of FPL
- o: anterior radius and interosseous
- i: base of distal phalamx
- a: IP and MCP
- inn:median
Describe the function, attachments and innervation of pronator quadratus
- o: anterior ulna
- i: anterior radius
- a: pronates
- inn: median
List the components of the superficial posterior compartment of the forearm
- brachioradialis
- ecrl
- ecrb
- edc
- edm
- ecu
- anconeus
List the components of the deep posterior compartment of the forearm
- supinator
- APL
- EPB
- EPL
- EIP
Describe the function, attachments and innervation of the brachioradialis
- o: proximal aspect of lateral supracondylar ridge
- i: distal radius, proximal to styloid
- a: weak flexor (mainly due to pronation)
all posterior = radial n.
Describe the function, attachments and innervation of the ECRL
- o: lateral supracondylar ridge
- i: base and tendon of 2MC
- a: extension and abduction
Describe the function, attachments and innervation of the ECRB
- CEO
- base and tendon of 3MC
- extension and abduction
