  1. FLEXOR DIGITORUM SUPERFICIALIS
    (Median nerve (C7, 8 and T1))
  2. FLEXOR DIGITORUM PROFUNDUS
    (Ulnar nerve supplies the ulnar half.
    Median nerve (C8 and T1) supplies the radial half)

30
Q

Significance of the neurovasculature of the hand (anterior)

A

Abduction and extenson of the wrist joint

37
Q

Contents of the posterior forearm: acting on digits

Wthin the posterior forearm, after exiting cubital fossa =

SUPERFICIAL BRANCH
* purely sensory; distributed to skin on dorsum of hand, passes over anatomical snuffbox

DEEP BRANCH = POSTERIOR INTEROSSEUS N.

  • main motor nerve
