Midterm 2 muscles Flashcards
What muscles flex the hand (Extrinsic)
Flexor digitorum superficialis, flexor digitorum profundus
Flexor Digitorum Superficialis
O: Humeroulnar head: medial epicondyle of the humerus, ulnar collateral ligament, coranoid process of the ulna.
radial heal: Superior half of anterior border of humerus
I: Shafts of middle phalanges 2-5
Action: Flexes middle phalanges at PIP, and can aid flexion at MCP and wrist
Inn: median
Flexor Digitorum Profundus
O: Proximal 3/4 medial and anterior surfaces of the ulna and interosseous membrane
I: Base of distal phalanx of digits 2-5
A: Flexion of distal phalanx 2-5 at distal interphalangeal joints
Inn: Medial part: ulnar
Lateral part: median
What muscles extend the hand (extrinsic)
Extensor digitorum, extensor digiti minimi, extensor indicis
Extensor digitorum
O: Lateral epicondyle
I: Extensor expansion of medial 4 digits
A: Extends hand at metacarpophalangeal joints, extends at wrist
Inn: radial
Extensor digiti minimi:
O: Lateral epicondyle
I: Extensor expansion at 5th digit
A: Extend 5th digit at the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints
Inn: radial
Extensor indicis
O: Posterior surface of the ulna and interosseous membrane
I: Extensor expansion of the 2nd digit
A: Extends 2nd digit, aids extend hand at wrist
Inn: Radial

O: anterior surface of the radius and adjacent interosseous membrane
I: Base of distal phalanx of thumb
A: Flexes thumb
Inn: median
Abductor pollicis longus
O: Posterior surface of radius, ulna, and interosseous membrane
I: Base of 1st metacarpal
A: Abducts thumb, extends thumb at carpometacarpal joint
Inn: radial

O: Posterior 1/3 surface of ulna and interosseous membrane
I: Base of distal phalanx of thumb
A: Extends distal phalanx of thumb at carpometacarpal and interphalangeal joints
Inn: radial
Extensor pollicis brevis
O: posterior surfaces of radius and interosseous membrane
I: Proximal phalanx of the thumb
A: extends proximal phalanx of the thumb at carpometacarpal joint
Inn: radial
