Starred Lecture Items L11 Flashcards
three reasons you can tell if distal humerus (elbow) bone is posterior
medial sticks out further than the lateral epicondyle
trochlea is distal
head of the radius is lateral
how many carpal bones (1 hand)
8
how many metacarpal bones (1 hand)
5
how many phalanges of long fingers (1 hand)
12
how many phalanges of thumb (1 hand)
2
how many bones total from your watch down
29 bones
bony landmark of distal radius/ ulna
radial styloid and ulnar styloid
where is the head of the ulna
at the wrist
where is the lister’s tubercle found
distal, dorsal radial side
how many carpals in the proximal row
4
how many carpals in the distal row
4
acronym for carpal bones
so long to pinkie here comes the thumb
scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, hamate, capitate, trapezoid, trapezium
how do you know if hand is dorsal or ventral based on bone orientation
listers tubercle is only visible on dorsal side, pisiform (sesamoid) bone is partially eclipsed on the dorsal side, (ventral is fully visible)
distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) movement
only pronation and supination
radiocarpal joint movement
wrist flexion, extension, radial deviation, ulnar deviation
which of the following joints when injured will restrict wrist flexion and extension
radiocarpal joint
which arm bone contributes at the wrist
only the radius articulates
why does the ulna not contribute at the wrist
its shorter so it doesnt articulate
which bone is higher in the elbow
olecranon is more proximal/ higher than radial head
which bones are involved in the radiocarpal joint?
radius and scaphoid & lunate
midcarpal joint movements
flexion, extension, radial deviation, ulnar deviation, circumduction
radial collateral ligament is found in…
radial side of elbow and wrist
what ligament takes up the space between the ulna and wrist
triangular fibrocartilage (TFC) disc– cushion between ulna and carpals
metacarpophalangeal joint movement
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction
what tendon connects into the pisiform
FCU
laymen’s term for metacarpophalangeal joints
knuckles
where does ab/adduction happen in the fingers
metacarpophalangeal joints
interphalangeal joints movements and types
finger flexion extension
proximal and distal interphalangeal joints (PIP and DIP)
how many IP joints in the thumb
1
carpometacarpal joint/ basilar joint motion
flexion extension abduction adduction of thumb
what carpal bone articulates with the 1st metacarpal
trapezium
peripheral nerve sensory innervations
extrinsic muscles of the arm (where does it start/ end and function)
originates proximal to wrist
generates greater force
