Question 1

flexor retinaculum

Answer 1

accessory carpal

attaches on palmar aspect of medial carpal bones

creates space called carpal canal

Question 2

interflexorii

Answer 2

Tendinous strips arising from DDF, passes through the canal

Question 3

lumbricales

Answer 3

found between tendons of DDF, insert on capsule of metacarpophalangeal joint

Question 4

palmar annular ligament

Answer 4

Held onto deep scutum.

Hold the SDF and DDF tendons in place at the metacarpophalangeal joint

Question 5

interosseous - flex the MCPj, prevent over extension

Answer 5

proximal end of MC2-5 via sesamoid bones paired to…

• paired tubercles on phalanx 1 of digits 2-5
• via tendinous slips pass around digits to exgensor tendons

Question 6

proximal and distal digitial annular ligaments

Answer 6

binding tendons to p1 and p2

Question 7

flexor retinacula

Answer 7

carpal FA - accessory to medial carpals, forms carpal canal

palmar annular ligament - proximal sesamoid bones

proximal digital annular ligament holds tendons against p1

distal digital annular ligament - holds tendons against palmar p2
