OP Group 5 Flashcards
Flexor Pollicis Longus - Origin
Radius (middle 1/3 anterior surface) and interosseous membrane
Flexor Pollicis Longus - Insertion
Base of distal phalanx of thumb (anterior aspect)
Flexor Pollicis Longus - Action
Flexion of thumb (CMC, MCP, IP joints); weak wrist flexion
Flexor Pollicis Longus - Innervation
Median nerve
Extensor Indicis - Origin
Posterior distal 1/3 of ulna and interosseous membrane
Extensor Indicis - Insertion
Base of middle and distal phalanx of index finger (via extensor expansion & extensor digitorum muscle tendon)
Extensor Indicis - Action
Extension of index finger (MCP, PIP, DIP); weak extension of hand and adduction of index finger
Extensor Indicis - Innervation
Radial nerve
Flexor Digiti Minimi - Origin
Flexor retinaculum and hook of hamate
Flexor Digiti Minimi - Insertion
Base of proximal phalanx of little finger
Flexor Digiti Minimi - Action
Flexion of little finger (CMC and MCP)
Flexor Digiti Minimi - Innervation
Ulnar nerve
Abductor Pollicis Longus - Origin
Posterior surfaces of ulna, radius and interosseous membrane (middle 1/3 of forearm)
Abductor Pollicis Longus - Insertion
Base of 1st metacarpal (lateral side)
Abductor Pollicis Longus - Action
Abduction of thumb (CMC joint); also assists with radial deviation of wrist, extension and rotation of thumb, and flexion/supination of hand at wrist
