Q

Adductor compartment muscle

A

Adductor pollicis

17
Q

What muscles fill the space between the metacarpal bones?

A

Dorsal interosseous muscles

18
Q

Dorsal interosseous muscles are easily monitored indicators of:

A

Muscle wasting

19
Q

What digits last the dorsal interosseous muscles? Why?

A

1st and 5th digits because they have their own abductors

20
Q

Remember:
DAB =

PAD =

A

DAB = Dorsal interosseous ABducts

PAD = Palmar interosseous ADDucts

21
Q

OINA for Palmar interosseous muscles

A

OR: Arise from palmar surface of metacarpals 2, 4 and 5

INS: Extensor expansion at bases of proximal phalanges of digits 2, 4, & 5

NS: Deep branch of ulnar nerve

AC: Adducts digits towards digit 3

22
Q

Interosseous of the 1st metacarpal

A

Flexor Pollicis Brevis

23
Q

Extensor expansion, AKA

A

Dorsal expansion
Or
Dorsal hood

24
Q

Anatomical term that refers to the special connective attachments by which the extensor tendons insert into the phalanges

A

Extensor Expansion

25
Q

The aponeurosis of extensor muscles span:

A

The proximal and middle phalanges

26
Q

What happens to the extensor tendon at the distal end of the metacarpal?

A

It will expand to form a hood, which covers the back and sides of the head of the metacarpal and the proximal phalanx

27
Q

What muscles insert on the extensor expansion?

What do these serve to extend?

A

The Lumbricals, extensor indicis, dorsal interossei, and palmar interossei

These serve to extend the interphalangeal joints

28
Q

What muscles flex the metacarpal phalanges joints?

A

The interossei and Lumbricals
