A

Origin = lateral epicondyle

Inserts = middle + distal phalanx II-V

18
Q

What is the function of extensors digitorum?

A

Extends fingers II, III IV and V at the Metacarpophalangeal joint and Interphalangeal joint

19
Q

What is the origin and insertion of Extensor digiti minimi?

A

Origin = lateral epicondyle

Inserts = attaches with extensor digitorum tendon and inserts into extensor hood of little finger

20
Q

Where does extensor digit minimi come from?

A

It originates/comes off of the extensor digitorum muscle

21
Q

Origin = lateral epicondyle

Insertion = metacarpal V

23
Q

What is the function of Extensor carpi ulnaris?

A

Wrist extension
Wrist Adduction

24
Q

What is the origin and insertion of Anconeus?

A

Origin = Lateral epicondyle (humerus)

Insertion = Olecranon (lateral surface of Olecranon of ulnar)

25
Q

What is the function of Anconeus?

A

Extends + stabilises elbow joint
Abducts ulna during forearm pronation

26
Q

What are all the muscles of the SUPERFICIAL posterior compartment of the forearm which originate at the common extensor origin/lateral epicondyle?

A

A

Origin = Lateral epicondyle + ulnar

Insert = radius

29
Q

What is the function of Supinator?

A

Supination

30
Q

What is the origin and insertion of Abductor pollicis longus?

A

Origin = interosseous membrane

Inserts = metacarpal 1

31
Q

What is the action of abductor pollicis longus?

Thumb abduction

32
Q

What is the origin and insertion of extensor pollicis longus?

A

Origin = ulnar

Inserts = distal phalanx of thumb

33
Q

What is the action of extensor pollicis longus?

A

Extends all joints of thumb

34
Q

What is the origin and insertion extensor pollicis brevis?

A

Origin = radius

Insertion = proximal phalanx of thumb

35
Q

What is the action of extensor pollicis brevis?

A

Extends thumb at Metacarpophalangeal joint and Carpometacarpal joint

36
Q

What is the origin and insertion of extensor indicis?

A

A

Remember LBL
Extensor pollicis Longus (Border closest to digits)
Extensor pollicis Brevis (Border closest to thumb)
Abductor pollicis Longus (Border right next to extensor pollicis brevis)
