Hand packet 2 Flashcards
flexor surface of the hand consists of a ____ mechanism & a _____ system
gliding;
pulley;
flexor surface contains (anatomy)
flexor retinaculum
bursae
flexor tendon sheath
ligaments
flexor retinaculum prevents
bowstringing of flexor tendons of the wrist
flexor retinaculum is a ________ _______ ligament
transverse carpal
bursae decreases _____ between ____ & ______
friction;
flexor tendons; & retinaculum
bursae has a _____-like sheath and serves as a _____
synovial;
lubricant;
bursae of the hand begins at the distal
radius/ulna
ulna bursae location
- ends just distal to proximal crease
- continues up 5th digit
radial bursa consists of
Flexor pollicis longus
ulna bursa consists of
FDS & FDP
digital flexor tendon sheath function
- envelope tendons
- synovial-like
digital flexor tendon sheath begins
just proximal to the 1st annular pulley and ends at FDS split
purpose of the anatomical pulleys of the fingers
- hold the tendons & sheath to phalanges
- prevents bowstringing of tendons
- minimizes stress/pressure between tendon & sheath
- promotes gliding
how many annular pulleys?
5
how many cruciform pulleys?
