intermediate layer

inserts on middle phalanges of 4 fingers

median n

flexes fingers

135
Q

deep layer of lower arm muscles

A
  • flexor digitorum profundus
  • flexor pollicus longus

136
Q

flexor digitorum profundus insertion and innervation

A

inserts on distal phalanges

median n to radial half
ulnar n to ulnar half

137
Q

flexor pollicis longus insertion and innervation

A

inserts on distal phalanx of thumb

median n

138
Q

pronator quadratus location and innervation

A

extends from ulna to radius

prime mover for pronation, reinforces interosseus membrane (keeps radius and ulna together, esp in FOSH injury)

median n

139
Q

extensor muscles of the forearm (post)

A
  • mm that extend/abduct/adduct hand at the wrist (extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor carpi ulnaris)
  • extend the medial four digits (extensor digitorum, extensor indicis, extensor digiti minimi)
  • extend/abduct thumb (abductor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis brevis, extensor pollicis longus)
140
Q

brachioradialis origin, insertion, innervation, and action

A

origin on lat humerus
inserts on radius
radial n
flexes elbow, maintains half pronated position “beer drinking muscle”

141
Q

extensors carpi radialis longus and brevis

insertion, innervation, action

A

insert on MC 2,3
radial n
extends and radially deviates wrist

142
Q

extensors digitorum and digiti minimi

insertion, innervation, action

A

insert into extensor expansions over middle and distal phalanges

radial n

extends fingers

143
Q

extensor carpi ulnaris

insertion, innervation, action

A

insert on MC 5

radial n

extends wrist and ulnar deviate

144
Q

posterior forearm muscles and innervation

A
  • supinator
  • abductor pollicis longus
  • extensor pollicis brevis
  • extensor pollicis longus
  • extensor indicis

radial n

145
Q

ulnar nerve location and innervation

A
  • passes post to medial epicondyle > enters forearm between heads of flexor carpi ulnaris > down ulnar side between this and FCU and FDP > becomes superficial at wrist

innervates
- flexor carpi ulnaris
- 1/2 of flexor digitorum profundus

146
Q

what artery is used to take BP

A

brachial

147
Q

superficial palmar arch anatomy

A
  • formed primarily by ulnar artery, as it enters palm through tunnel of guyon
  • anastomosis with radial artery
148
Q

structures in carpal tunnel

A
  • median n
  • flexors digitorum superficialis and profundus
  • flexor pollicis longus
149
Q

carpal tunnel syndrome results

A
  • cutaneous senosry loss on median n distribution (thumb, pointer, middle)
  • thenar wasting
  • weakness of lumbricals 1,2
150
Q

ulnar n innervation cutaneous

A

1.5 digits, ulnar side of palm, dorsum of hand
