A

“DAB”

  • 4 muscles that act on 3 fingers to ABduct them away from finger 3 (midline)
  • Feather/Leaf appearance
18
Q

First Dorsal Interossei Muscle

A

From Metacarpal 1 to Metacarpal 2

Connects to radial side of 2 @ extensor expansion

19
Q

Second Dorsal Interossei Muscle

A

From Metacarpal 2 to 3

Connects radial side of 3 @ extensor expansion

20
Q

Third Dorsal Interossei Muscle

A

From Metacarpal 3 to 4

Connects ulnar side of 4 @ extensor Expansion

21
Q

Fourth Dorsal Interossei Muscle

A

From Metacarpal 4 to 5

Connects ulnar side of 5 @ extensor expansion

22
Q

Course of the extensor expansion and impact of joint movement

A

On palmar side of MP joint (Flexion)
On Dorsal Side of PIP and DIP joints (Extension)

***All about how it crosses the joint

23
Q

Tendons of extensor digitorum

A

Extensor digitor gives off 4 tendons that are covered by the exensor expansion (hood) as of comes up from the palmar side

Metacarpals 2-5 (NOTE: No thumb)

Action: extends the wrist and all four fingers

24
Q

Extensor Expansion (most distal)

A

Present on dorsum of digits 2-5

Distal attachment of lumbercals and interossi muscles

25
Q

Action of the exetnsor expansion

A

Simultaneously flex the metacarpophalangeal joints

*** think about how it crosses these joints

26

Attachment of Extensor carbi radialis brevis

A

base of metacarpal 2

28
Q

Attachment of Extensor carpi ularis

A

base of metacarpal 5
