Muscles Flashcards
both located on forearm located on
anterior medial side l
ocated on posterior lateral side
flexors and extensors
all on the radial nerve 4 extensors create extension primarily at the wrist and fingers
Extensors
lateral/posterior to the brachioradialis
known as the Wad of Three
A: to the extend and abduct the wrist; assist to flex the elbow
O: Longus: distal one-third of the lateral supracondylar ridge of humerus; Brevis: common extensor tendon from the lateral epicondyle of humerus
I: Longus: Base of second metacarpal Brevis: Base of the third metacarpal
N: Longus: Radial Brevis: Radial
BRACHIORADIALIS ,Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus and Brevis
lies beside the ulnar shaft,
A: Extend and Abduct the wrist
O: Common extensor tendon from the lateral epicondyle of humerus
I: Base of fifth metacarpal
N: radial c6,7,8
Extensor Carpi Ulnaris
located between all of theses muscles and
has four long, superficial tendons stretching along the dorsal surface of the hand and fingers
A: Extends the second-fifth finder and assist to extend the wrist
O: Common Extensor tendon from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus
I: Bases of middle and distal phalanges of second-fifth fingers
N: Radial
Extensor digitorium
located deep to the extensor digitorium and extensor carpi ulnaris, helps extend the index finger and adduct the second finger radial nerve
Extensor Indicis
considered flexors of wrist and fingers
located on forearm’s anterior/medial surface b/t brachioraadialis and ulnar shaft,
thicker than extensors involves 3 layers,
superficial, middle and deep layers
Flexor Carpi Radialis
Palmaris Longus
Flexor Carpi Ulnaris
Flexor Digitorum Superficialis
Flexor Digitorum Profundus
part of the superficial layer of flexors medial to the pronator teres and brachioradialis
flexor carpi radialis
part of the superficial layer of flexors lies close to the ulnar shaft and has a distinct tendon attaching to the pisiform
Flexor Carpi Ulnaris
part of superficial layer sometimes absent, runs between flexor carpi radialis and flexor carpi ulnaris attaches to the aponeurosis absent in 11% of the population
Palmaris Longus
part of the middle and deep layers
flexor digitorum superficialis and flexor digitorium profundus passes through the carpal tunnel and attach at the phalanges
anterior surface of the forearm, tucked b/t brachioradialis and forearm flexors; antagonist to the biceps branchi and supinator A: Pronate the forearm(radioulnar joint) flex elbow O: common flexor tendon from medial epicondyle of the humerus and coronid ulna I: middle lateral of radius N: Medial
pronator Teres
small pronator
A: Pronates the arm
O: medial/anterior of distal ulna
I:Lateral anterior surface distal radius
N: Medial
pronator Quadratus
located on the lateral side of the elbow; short deep in forearm extensors & superficial to the head of the radius antagonist to pronator teres A: Supinate the forearm O: lateral epicondyle of humerus, radial collateral ligment, annular ligament and supinator crest of the ulna I: Anterior, lateral surface of proximal one-third of radial shaft N: Radial
Supinator
known as a holster
Flexor Retinaculum
