37
Q

What are the interosseous muscles

A

4 dorsals and 3 palmar muscles

38
Q

What do the 4 dorsal interosseous muscles do

A

abduct

39
Q

What do the 3 palmar interosseous muscles do

A

adduct

40
Q

What are the interosseous muscles innervated by

A

ulnar nerve

41
Q

Which finger lacks a palmar interossei

A

middle finger

42
Q

What are the lumbricale muscles

A

run along the radial side of each digit and attach to the extensor hood

43
Q

What is the innervation of lumbricale muscles

A

digits 2-3 are median nerve

digits 4-5 are ulnar nerve

44
Q

What is adductor pollicis innervated by

A

deep branch of ulnar nerve (C8-T1)

45
Q

What are the actions of the lumbricals

A

flexes the MP joint and extends the IP joint

46
Q

What is the function of the dorsal interosseous muscle

A

abduction of the thumb

47
Q

What muscles connect to the extensor hood

A

interosseous muscles and lumbricals

48
Q

What is ulnar claw

A

muscles of digits 4 and 5 have lost innervation from the ulnar nerve

49
Q

What is Klumpke’s palsy

A

clawing of digits 2-5 due to damage to C8-T1, all lumbricals and interosseous muscles are paralyzed

50
Q

What is the arterial supply to the hand

A

superficial palmar arch

51
Q

What is the superficial palmar arch

A

direct continuation of ulnar artery on top of digitorum tendons

52
Q

Where is the radial pulse taken

A

lateral aspect of hand near the base of the thumb

53
Q

What arterial arches of the hand are associated with the ulnar and radial arteries

A

superficial palmar arch and deep palmar arch

54
Q

Which artery is more involved in the superficial palmar arch

A

ulnar

55
Q

Which artery is more involved in the deep palmar arch

A

radial

56
Q

Which arch is more distal

A

superficial palmar arch

57
Q

Which arterial arch is more proximal

A

deep palmar arch

58
Q

Are the arches always a full arch

A

no, sometimes arches can be incomplete

59
Q

How is the deep palmar arch related to the interosseous muscles

A

runs with deep branch of ulnar nerve that supplies all the deep muscles

60
Q

What are the branches off of the superficial arch

A

common palmar digital arteries that give rise to proper digital arteries

61
Q

What are the branches off of the deep palmar arch

A
  1. palmar metacarpal arteries x3
  2. perforating brs (join dorsal metacarpal aa.)
  3. Recurrent brs (join palmar carpal arch)
62
Q

Describe the arterial supply to the digits

A

arteries and nerves on palmar side go to the tip and go back over the top

63
Q

Do dorsal nerves and arteries supply the tip of phalanges

no, they are too short

64

extensor pollicis longus
extensor pollicis brevis
abductor pollicis longus

65
Q

What is the palmar branch of the median nerve

A

supplies the skin over the thenar compartment and center of the palm

66
Q

What is the clinical significance of the palmar branch of the median nerve

A

Does not go through the carpal tunnel and will not be affected by carpal tunnel syndrome

thus, no loss of sensation with carpal tunnel, if nerve injury is higher sensation can be lost

67
Q

What is the course of the palmar branch of the ulnar nerve and clinical relevance

A

travels over guyons tunnel, thus will not be affected when there is compression

will still have sensation over the last 2 digits

68

recurrent branch of median nerve

69
Q

Where does the recurrent branch of the median nerve travel

A

over the top of the carpal tunnel, more superficial

70
Q

Where would sensory loss occur in a radial nerve injury

A

dorsum of the hand

palmar surface okay

71
Q

Where would sensory loss occur if there were damage to C6

A

both dorsum and palmar surface as it innervates both
