Q

how do you find the radial head

A

this articulates w/ captulum of humerus and held by annular ligament to ulna

    • this would be the raidoulnar joint
    • palpate by usinga pinch grip then rotate arm distal to elbow joint

Q

how do you palpate dorsal tubercles of the radisu

A

this acts as a point/ pully for EPL and is in like wiht 2nd and 3rd mc
– you can feel for these medailly from the radial styloid process

Q

what is the trapeziod

A

this is on the inziod and shaped like a trapezoid and should line up with 2nd mc

24
Q

what is the capitate

A

this look like it has a cap and lines up with 3 mc and is distal to lunate

25
Q

what is the hamate

A

this is under the pinky and has a hook

can feel by putting IP joint of thumb on pisifrom and push inward. this will feel hard and will hurt a bit

26
Q

what is the tunnel of guyon

A

this is the ulnar cannal and the hook of hamat and pisiform form this and ulanr n runs through it

27
Q

what are the metacarpals

A

1-5 from thumb to pinky and btw cb and phalanges

28
Q

what is the MCP joint (MC)

A

joint btw mc and phalanges

29
Q

what are phalnages

A

fingers

singular phalax

30
Q

what is the PIP and DIP joints

A

PIP= proximal middle phalanges

DIP=distal proximal phalanes

31
Q

what is the IP joint

A

this is in the thumb inter phanagles join of the thumb

32
Q

what is the biceps

A

most superfical with 2 head and act on 2 joint s

the bicep curl is how you can eminzitize this

33
Q

what is the brachailis

A

deep to bicep and best palpated with C grip at distal arm and flex arm then supinate it

34
Q

what is the brachioradialis

A

run form brachem to radius

palpate arm mid postion to restit flexion and can feel at distal arm

35
Q

what is in the 1st layer of the forearm m.

A
  • PT-pronate fa can feel at meoh
  • FCR- radial devatate wrist can feel
  • PL- oppostion thumb and pinky then flex hand
  • RCU- ulnar deviates wrist
36
Q

what is in the 2nd layer of forearm m.

A

FDS- block DIP and flex PIP and can feel under FAm.

37
Q

what is in the 3rd layer of the forearm m.

A

FDP- block PIP and flex DIP then feel FA M.

FPL

38
Q

what is in the 4th layer of the forearm m.

A

PQ

39
Q

how can you find the 1st layer ( trick)

A 
place your palm on the medial epicondly of humerus and point fingers toward thumb side, index finers to pinky is numbered 1-4

40
Q

what is the tricpes

A

this has 3 heads and acts on 2 joints

41
Q

how do you palpate the long head of tricpes

A

should and elbow extned can feel

42
Q

how do you palpate the lateral head

A

flexed should and extend elbow

43
Q

what is the anconuse

A

small triangle shpaed over lateral epicondlyeand assist with last few degrees of elbow extension
palpate –hyperextend and feel late epicondly of humerus

44
Q

what are the extensors m of the forarem

A 
ECRB
ECRL
ED
ECU
EI
EDM
45
Q

what makes you the anatomic snuffbow

A

apl
epb
epl

46
Q

what does FOOSH mean

A

fall on an out stretched head

– when everything is extendeed you fall is when you can really hurt and fracture things in the hand and arm

47
Q

where can you find the ulnar n.

A

from ulnar groove of meoh to funny bone

48
Q

where can you find the median n

A

run through cubital fossa

49
Q

where can you find the radial n

A

wrap aroudn poster humers in spiral groove and can be traped in supinator m.

50
Q

what is TAN

A

biceps brachii Tendon
brachial Artery
meian Nerve
** in the cubital foss

51
Q

what is the radial collateral ligament (RCL)

A

leh wraps to radius and ulna

52
Q

what is the ulnar collateral liagment (UCL)

A 
3 parts to it 
-anterior 
-posterior 
-oblique 
BANDS
53
Q

what is the anterior band of UCL

A

medoh to conroniod p of ulna

54
Q

what is the posterior band of UCL

A

meoh to op of ulna

55
Q

what is the oblique band of UCL

A

op of ulna to coronoid p of ulna

56
