flexor digiti minimi
opponens digiti minimi

147
Q

What innervates the hypothenar muscles?

A

ulna nerve

148
Q

Where do the lumbrical muscles attach?

A

FDP tendons (palmar surface of hand)
inserts onto extensor expansion hood on back of finger

149
Q

what is the action of the lumbrical muscles?

Flexes MCP
extend IP joints

150
Q

A

1+2 - median nerve
3+4 - ulna nerve

151
Q

A

3

156
Q

What is the innervation of the interosseous muscles?

157
Q

What is the course of the median nerve + its branches?

A

arises from medial and lateral cords of BP
passes through axilla and upper arm with no branches
passes infant of medial supracondylar ridge of humerus
enters the forearm and branches to supply: forearm flexors (PT, FCR, PL, FDS)
Anterior interosseous nerve (runs along interosseous membrane and innervates 1/2 FDP, FPL, PQ)
Palmar cutaneous branch
courses through carpal tunnel
branches after carpal tunnel:
recurrent branch - supplies thenar muscles
innervates 1st and 2nd lumbricals
Digital cutaneous branch supplies palmar surface of thumb to half of 4th finger. also distal dorsal tips of these fingers.

158
Q

What is the course of the ulna nerve + its branches?

A

Arises from medial cord of BP
courses through axilla and arm with no branches
passes behind medial epicondyle in the cubital tunnel
Branches in the forearm:
supplies FCU, 1/2 FDP
passes through Guyana’s canal to enter the hand
Branches to supply:
cutaneous innervation to palmar + dorsal lateral 1.5 fingers
supplies hypothenar muscles, lumbricals 3+4, PADs + DABs, Adductor pollicis

159
Q

What is the course of the radial nerve + its branches?

A

arises from posterior trunk of BP
runs in radial groove posterior to humerus and innervates triceps in upper arm
crosses elbow anterior to lateral epicondyle
crosses to posterior forearm to supply:
all 11 forearm extensors
cutaneous branch to supply dorsal medial 2.5 fingers except tips
