L13: Hand Flashcards
sensory area of dorsal distal digits 2 and 3
median nerve
median nerve digital branches sensory area
parts of digits 1 - 4
dorsal radial side of hand sensory area, including most of thumb and bases of digits 2 and 3
radial nerve, superficial branch
dorsal ulnar side of hand, including all of digit 5 and most of digit 4
ulnar nerve
exclusive sensory area of ulnar nerve
end of pinky finger
sensory area - dorsal antebrachium
post. antebrachial cutaneous nerve
the radial nerve supplies __ muscles in the hand.
no
the superficial radial nerve branch is entirely _____
sensory
sensory supply to palm
palmar cutaneous branch of median nerve
palmar cutaneous branch of ulnar nerve
palmar cutaneous branch of median nerve
- supplies central palm
2. superficial to flexor retinaculum
carpal tunnel
flexor retinaculum
palmar cutaneous branch of ulnar nerve
- supplies medial palm side
2. superficial to flexor retinaculum
carpometacarpal joints
- plane synovial joints
- saddle for thumb
- mvt - none = 2-3, little = 4, digit 5 = mobile
carpometacarpal joint vasularization and innervation
–anastomosic arches of radial and ulnar arteries
–articular branches of all nerves that pass over–basically median, radial and ulnar nerves
MCP
metacarpophalangeal joints
MCP joints
- condyloid synovial
- mostly flex/ext mvt
- capsular ligaments
MCP joint vascularization and innervation
deep digital arteries from superficial palmar arches
digital nerves – median and ulnar nerves
MCP joint ligaments
palmar ligaments and collateral ligaments
explain why the MCP joints of digits 2-5 cannot be abducted in the flexed position but can be abducted in extension.
collateral ligaments are slack during extension
but taunt in flexion
thus fingers cannot be spread when fully flexed
interphalangeal joits
- synovial hinge jts
- only flex/ext allowed
- strong collateral lig.
- PIPs and DIPs
IP vascularization and innervation
same as MCP jts
deep digital arteries and digital nerves
list the superficial palmar structures
- palmar aponeurosis
- flexor retinaculum
- palmaris brevis muscle
palmar aponeurosis
- triangle shaped deep fascia
- found between eminences
- protection for superficial nerves/vessels
what anchors the palmar aponeurosis
skin and flexor retinaculum
distal palmar aponeurosis
splits into 4 slips that blend w/ flexor sheaths of digits 2-5
flexor retinaculum
lateral attachment = tubercle of scaphoid/trapezium
medial = hook of hamate and pisiform
there is a ant and post retinaculum
palmaris brevis - origin, insertion and action
flexor retinaculum
skin on medial palm
tenses skin on palm
contents of carpel tunnel
the long flexor tendons of:
- flex digitorum super
- flex digitorum prof
- flex pollicus long
- median nerve
the ulnar nerve and ulnar artery pass thru _____ .
guyons canal = ulnar canal
ulnar canal
formed by groove between pisiform and hook of hamate
synovial sheath purposes in wrist/hand
protect all the tendons from rubbing together as they all pass thru the carpel tunnel
spaces in the hand
- thenar space
2. midpalmar space
thenar space location
between adductor pollicus muscle and long flexor tendons of digits 1 and 2
midpalmar space location
between metacarpals 4-5 and long flexor tendons to digits 4-5
significance of spaces in hands
can become filled w/ fluid and infected
muscles of dorsal hand
- long extensor muscles
2. dorsal interossei muscles - 4
reference for digit ab/adduction
mvt away or towards middle finger
dorsal interossei muscles: middle finger has __ and digits 1 and 5 have __ .
2
0
extensor indicis prox/dis attachments
post distal ulna
extensor expansion of index finger - base of middle phalanx
extensor indicis action
- -extend index finger
- -also helps in wrist extension
extensor indicis blood supply and innervation
post interosseous art and perforating ant
post. interosseous n C7-8
the posterior interosseous nerve comes off the
deep branch of radial nerve
trance posterior interosseous artery to beginning
comes off common interosseous a.
which is a branch off ulnar artery
