23
Q

What actions are the 4 lumbrical muscles responsible for?

Give their innervation.

A

The muscles are used to simultaneously flex the metacarpophalangeal and extend the interphalangeal joints as in making an upward stroke while writing

24
Q

Where does the flexor digitorum superficialis attach on the phalanx?

A

The superficialis tendon splits to be attached to each side of the middle phalanx.

(The flexor tendons are held on to the front of the finger by the fibrous flexor sheath)

The profundus tendon passes between the gap in the superficialis tendon to insert onto the terminal phalanx.

25
Q

Where are the interossei muscles found?

A

Between the metacarpal bones

  • 2 groups = dorsal & palmer interossei
26
Q

Give the mucle groups responsible for:

a) Adduction of the fingers
b) Abduction of the fingers

A

Adduction = Palmer interossei (PAD) Moving fingers towards the middle

Abduction = Dorsal interossei (DAD)

All supplied by deep branches of the Ulnar nerve

27
Q

What would a slash to the wrist likely cut from medial to lateral?

A

The ulnar nerve

The ulnar artery

The palmaris longus tendon

The median nerve

Tendon of flexor carpi radialis

Radial artery

28
Q

Give the nerves for the innervation of the hand that are related to the colours shown

A

Blue = Ulnar nerve (lateral 1 and a half fingers)

Green = Radial nerve (Dorsal tumb and proximal 2 and a half fingers)

Pink = Median Nerve (Palmer skin and dorsal nail beds of the lateral 3 and a half fingers)

29
Q

What are these muscles collectivly known as?

Extensor carpi radialis longus.

Extensor carpi radialis brevis, the extensor digitorum, the extensor carpi ulnaris and the extensory digiti minimi

A

The superficial extensor muscles (posterior muscles)

30
Q

Where are the extensors of the carpus inserted?

A

The extensors of the carpus are inserted onto the metacarpal bones

31
Q

Where are the radial (lateral) extensors inserted?

A

The radial (lateral) extensors are inserted to the base of the 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones

32
Q

Where is the ulnar extensor inserted?

A

The ulnar extensor is inserted into the 5th metacarpal bone

33
Q

a) Give the nerve which supplies all the posterior muscles of the forarm except one.
b) Give the name of this muscle and the nerve which supplies it.

A

a) Posterior interosseus branch of the radial nerve supplies all of the extensor muscles except…
b) The extensor carpis radialis longus which is supplied by the radial nerve below the elbow like the brachioradialis

34
Q

What happens as a result of paralysis of the radial nerve above the elbow?

A

Paralysis to the radial nerve above the elbow will paralyse all the extensors of the wrist.

The flexors will pull the wrist into a flexed position called ‘wrist drop’

35
Q

Give the following borders for the anatomical snuffbox

a) Ulnar (medial) border
b) Radial (lateral) border
c) Proximal border

A

Ulnar (medial) border: Tendon of the extensor pollicis longus.
Radial (lateral) border: Tendons of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis.
Proximal border: Styloid process of the radius.
Floor: Carpal bones; scaphoid and trapezium.
Roof: Skin.

36
Q

How does ‘avascular necrosis’ (death of tissue due to no blood vessel) occur in scaphoid fractures?

A

Scaphoid bone forms in 2 parts, each with their own artery.

They fuse and the artery to the proximal part disapears.

After a fracture the proximal end of the bone may be disconnected to the blood supply at the distal end.

Note: If fractured there will be tenderness in the outstretched hand

37
Q

Describe the attachments of the extensor digitorum in the hand

A

Attached to base of proximal phalanx

Divides into a central and 2 marginal slips

Central into the base of middle phalanx

Marginal slips unite and insert into the base of the distal phalanx

38
Q

Which 2 groups of muscles are inserted into the proximal part of the extensor expansion?

A

The interossei and the lumbricals

39
Q

At the superior and inferior radio-ulnar joints, which bone rotates inwards to produce pronation?

a) Radial
b) Ulnar

A

Radial

(Radial rotates)

40
Q

Which of the following leads to a weak suprination?

a) Flexed elbow by the biceps
b) Extended elbow and produced by the suprinator muscle

A

Suprination is week when the elbow is extended and by the suprination

Biceps = powerful suprinator

Radius is rotated outwards

41
Q

Where are the medial and lateral epidondyles of the humerus?

A

Processes on the distal end of the humerus

42

b) The trochlea = The ulnar

43
Q

Identify the following parts of the radius

A
44
Q

Which of the following are the green and red areas showing?

a) Olecranon
b) Coronoid process
c) Trochlear notch
d) Radial notch

A
45
Q

Give the 2 seperate articulations that the elbow joint consists of.

A

  • *Head** of the radius and the capitulum of the humerus
46
Q

The wrist is an ellipsoid type synovial joint, allowing for movement along two axes.

Give the muscles responsible for flexion, externsion, adduction and abduction of the wrist

A

Flexion – Produced mainly by the flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor carpi radialis, with assistance from the flexor digitorum superficialis.

Extension – Produced mainly by the extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis, and extensor carpi ulnaris, with assistance from the extensor digitorum.

Adduction – Produced by the extensor carpi ulnaris and flexor carpi ulnaris

Abduction – Produced by the abductor pollicis longus, flexor carpi radialis, extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis.

47
Q

Which 2 muscles of the leg attach to the greater trochanter of the femur?

a) Adductor
b) Abductor
c) Medial rotator
d) Lateral rotator

A

Abductor and lateral rotator muscles of the leg attach to the greater trochanter

48
Q

Decribe the condyles and the epicondyles of the femur

A

Condyles = rounded areas at the distal end of the femur. Posterior -> Tibia and menisci of the knee. Anterior -> Patella
