HAND Flashcards
Palmaris brevis
superficial muscle, goes across palm towards thumb
I
name the three thenar muscles
all 3 are brevis
- abductor pollicis brevis (lateral)
- flexor pollicus brevis (medial)
- oppenens pollicis (deep to 1 & 2)
abductor pollicis brevis
O: 1. tubercles of scaphoid and trapezium
2. flexor retinaculum
I: Lateral side of proximal phalanx of thumb. Tendon contains a sesamoid bone (bone within a tendon)
A; abducts thumb
flexor pollicis brevis
AFO
O: 1.. tubercle of trapezium
2. flexor retinaculum
I: lateral side of proximal phalanx of thumb. tendon may contain a sesamoid bone in common with abductor pollicis brevis
A: flexes thumb
Opponens Pollicis
little deep guy
O: Tubercle of trapezium & flexor reticulum
I: lateral side of metacarpal 1
A: opposition of thumb
adductor pollicis
*NOT in thenar eminence
O: 1. origin of oblique head: bases of metacarpals 2 & 3
- origin of transverse head; shaft of metacarpal 3
I: base of proximal phalanx of thumb (tendon contains a sesamoid bone)
A: adducts thumb
3 hyporthenar muscles to little finger:
mirror image of thenar muscles
- all digiti minimi
1. abductor digiti minimi
2. flexor digiti minimi
3. opponens digiti minimi
abductor digiti minimi
ulnar one
O: pisiform bone
I: medial side of proximal phalanx of digit 5
A: abducts little finger
flexor digiti minimi
2nd in from ADM
O: hook of hamate and flexor retinaculum
I: medial side of proximal phalanx of digit 5
A: flexion of little finger
opponens digiti minimi
deep of 1& 2
O: hook of hate and flexor retinaculum
I: metacarpal 5
A: Laterally rotates metacarpal 5 to oppose little finger with thumb
Lumbricals
have bipenate lumbricals 3 & 4
&
unipennate lumbricals 1 & 2
O: tendons of flexor digitorum profundus
I; lateral sides of extensor expansions of digits 2-5
A: flexion of MP joint & extension of PIP and DIP joints
interosseous
DAB
- these are between metacarpals where lumbricals are around digits
O: Adjacent sides of metacarpals at interosseous spaces
I:
- Extensor expansions of digits 2, 3,4 (not 1 & 5)
- proximal phalanges of digits 2, 3, 4 ( not 1 & 5)
A: 1. abduction away from axis through middle finger
- flexion of MP and extension of PIP and DIP joints (like lumbricals)
Palmar interosseous (unipennate muscles)
PAD
O: Metacarpals 1,2,4, 5 (no 3)
I: 1. proximal phalanges of all digits (except digit 3)
- extensor expansions of all digits (except 3)
A: 1. flexion of MP JOINt
2. extension of PIP and DIP joints (just like lumbricals)
- adduction of fingers to plane through middle finger
What phalanx has the bipennate lumbricals?
3 & 4
these are unique because they originate on the tendon of another muscle
What phalanx has the unipennate lumbricles
1 & 2 these are unique because they originate on the tendon of another muscle
