2
what are the two mounds of muscle on the palm
thenar and hypothenar eminence
what is most lateral, the thenar or hypothenar eminence
the thenar eminence
what joint makes up the knuckle
MCP
what structure lies most superficial on the palm of the hand
palmar aponeurosis
what is the palmar apeunorosis
triangle of deep fascia, in superficial layer of the palm
explain the attachment of the palmar apomeurosis
deep to the skin (dermis) and anchored to it, but superficial to flexor tendons, palmar neurovascular structures)
true or false, the palmar aponeurosis is anchored to the dermis
true
true or false: the palmar aponeurosis is deep to the skin (dermis) and anchored to it, but deep to flexor tendons, palmar neurovascular structures)
false, superficial to the flexor tendons
true or false: palmaris longus tendon always present
no
what is the palmaris brevis
is stretches between palmar aponeurosis to the skin of hypothenar eminence
draws skin over hypothenar emonience to the center of the palm
palmar aponeurosis is the end of what tendon
palmaris longus
what is the flexor retinaculum
ligamentous band stretching from pisiform and hook of the hamate (medial) to the trapezium and scaphoid (lateral)
what forms the roof of the carpal tunnel
flexor retinaculum
what is the function of the flexor retinaculum
creates carpal tunnel and prevents bowing of the flexors of the forearm
=makes a pulley for the flexor tendons
what are the contents of the carpal tunnel
tendons of the FDS (4), FDP (4), FPL (1) and median n
what nerve passes through the carpal tunnel
median n
what muscle tendons pass through the carpal tunnel
FDS
FDP
FPL
what is carpal tunnel syndrome
chronic pressure on the median nerve resulting in numbness and weakness in the hand
true or false: carpal tunnel syndrome is chronic pressure on the ulnar n
false, median
what are some actions that can cause carpal tunnel syndrome
typing, excessive extended wrist position
how many tendons pass through the carpal tunnel
9 total
what nerve passes through the guyons tunnel
ulnar n
true of false: guyon canal can also lead to compression syndromes but in the ulnar n
true
what are the contents that pass through the guyon canal
ulnar a and n
what two things make up the roof of carpal tunnel
flexor retinaculum
guyon canal
what are the 3 muscles that make up the thenar eminence that are innevated by the reccurent branch of the median n
flexor pollicis brevis
abductor polllic brevis
opponens pollicis
