MSK: anatomy Flashcards
What structures move through the flexor retinaculum
Median nerve
4 tendons of flexor digitorum superficialis
4 tendons of flexor digitorum profundus
1 tendon of the flexor carpi radialis
What branch of the median nerve supplies the thenar group
Recurrent
What are the borders of the anatomical snuff box
Extensor pollicus longus and brevis
Contains scaphoid bone
When is supination at its weakest
At full extension of arm
When is supination and pronation strongest
When elbow joint is flexed at 90 degrees
How does damaging root T1 affect the hand
Paralyses the whole hand
What is the brachioradialis innervated by
Radial nerve
What is the bicep femoris innervated by
Long head - tibial branch of sciatic nerve
Short head - common fibular branch of sciatic
What are the borders that make up the popliteal fossa
Superomedial - semimembranous
Superolateral - biceps femoris
Inferomedial - gastrocnemius (medial head)
Inferolateral - gastrocnemius (lateral) and plantaris
What is inside the popliteal fossa
Popliteal artery
Tibial nerve
Popliteal vein
Common fibular nerve
What muscle inserting into the thumb is not part of the Thenar group of muscles
Adductor pollicis muscle
What is the adductor pollicis muscle innervated by
Ulnar nerve
What is the extensor carpi ulnaris innervated by
Deep branch of the radial nerve
Why is the adductor policies muscle not a thenar muscle
Because it originates from the third metacarpal whilst thenar muscle all originate from a ligament that connects to the hypothenar muscles.
