Hand Muscles Flashcards
What are the attachments of the palmaris brevis
proximal: dermis hypothenar region
distal: palmar aponeurosis & flexor retinaculum
what is the torque of the palmaris brevis
wrinkles skin on ulnar side
improves grip
what innervates and supplies blood to the palmaris brevis
superficial branch ulnar
superficial palmar arch
what are the attachments of the Oppens Pollicis
proximal: flexor retinaculum & tubercles of scaphoid & trapezium
distal: lateral side of 1st metacarpal
what is the torque of the Oppens Pollicis
opposes thumb: pulls 1st metacarpal to center of palm & rotates thumb medially
what is the innervation and blood supply to the Oppens Pollicis
recurrent (thenar) branch of Median Nerve (C8, T1) & superficial palmar branch of radial artery
what are the attachments of the abductor pollicis brevis
proximal: flexor retinaculum & tubercles of scaphoid and trapezium
distal: lateral side of base and proximal phalanx of thumb
what is the torque of the abductor pollicis brevis
thumb abductor & helps oppose it
what is the innervation and blood supply to the abductor pollicis brevis
thenar branch of Median Nerve & superficial palmar branch of the radial artery
what are the attachments of the flexor pollicis brevis
proximal: flexor retinaculum & tubercles of scaphoid and trapezium
distal: proximal side of base and proximal phalanx of thumb
what is the torque of the flexor pollicis brevis
thumb flexor
what is the innervation and blood supply to the flexor pollicis brevis
thenar branch of median nerve & superficial palmar branch of radial artery
what are the 3 thenar muscles
abductor pollicis brevis
opponens pollicis
flexor pollicis brevis
what are the 3 hypothenar muscles
abductor digiti minimi
flexor digiti minimi
opponens digiti minimi
what are the attachments of the flexor digiti minimi brevis
