25
Q

What is the function of the extensors?

A

Keep tendons in alignment and prevent bowstringing

26
Q

What does

1) phalanges

2) metacarpals

3) carpals

mean?

A

Phalanges: fingers

Metacarpals: palm of the hand

Carpals: wrist bones

27
Q

What does

1) DIP’s

2) PIP’s

3) IP’s

4) MCP’s

5) CMC’s

mean?

A

DIP’s = distal interphalangeal joints

PIP’s = proximal interphalangeal joints

IP’s = interphalangeal joints

MCP’s = metacarpophalangeal joints

CMC’s carpometacarpal joints

27
Q

What joint’s make up the elbow?

A

1) Elbow joint
–> articulation between the humerus and ulna
–> Uniaxial - allows flexion and extension

2) Radioulnar joint
–> articulation between radius and ulna
–> Uniaxial - allows pronation and supination
–> there are 2, a proximal and a distal radioulnar joint

28
Q

True or false: the elbow joint and radioulnar joint are biaxial

A

False

–> they are both uniaxial

29
Q

True or false: the ulna moves around the radius

A

False

–> the ulna does not move

–> distal end of radius rotates around the distal end of ulna

30
Q

True or false: Ulna is on the medial side of the forearm and the radius is on the lateral side

31
Q

True or false: the ulna articulates with the trochlea

32
Q

What are the 6 landmarks of the humerus?

A

1) Trochlea
2) Capitulum
3) Medial epicondyle
4) Lateral epicondyle
5) Lateral supracondylar ridge
6) Olecranon fossa

33
Q

What are the 7 key landmarks of the ulna?

A

1) Olecranon process
2) Trochlear notch
3) Coronoid process
4) Radial notch
5) Ulnar tuberosity
6) Styloid process
7) Head

34
Q

What are the 8 key muscles of the elbow and forearm?

A

1) Brachialis
2) Biceps brachii
3) Brachioradialis
4) Triceps brachii
5) Anconeus
6) Pronator teres
7) Pronator quadratus
8) Supinator

35
Q

General information about the brachialis

A

–> found deep to the biceps brachii

–> plays no role in supination/pronation

36
Q

True or false: the brachialis is found superficial to the biceps brachii

A

False

–> found deep to biceps brachii

37
Q

True or false: the brachialis does not supinate or pronate the arm

38
Q

Origin of the brachialis

A

Humerus

–> half way down shaft

39
Q

Insertion of the brachialis

A

Ulna

–> coronoid process
–> ulnar tuberosity

40
Q

What action does the brachialis perform?

A

Elbow flexion

41
Q

True or false: the biceps brachii has one head and one shaft

A

False

–> biceps brachii has two heads = both attach to the scapula

42
Q

Origin of the biceps brachii

A

Scapula
–> supraglenoid tubercle
–> coracoid process

43
Q

Insertion of the biceps brachii

A

Radius
–> radial tuberosity

44
Q

What action does the biceps brachii perform?

A

1) Elbow flexion

2) Supination

45

Distal humerus

–> lateral supracondylar ridge

46
Q

Insertion of the brachioradialis

A

Distal radius

–> styloid process

47
Q

What action does the brachioraialis perform?

A

1) Elbow flexion

2) Helps to pronate and supinate back to neutral position

48
Q

True or false: the triceps brachii has 2 heads

A

False

–> has three heads = long, lateral, and medial head

49
Q

Origin of the triceps brachii

A

1) Scapula
–> long head/infraglenoid tubercle

2) Humerus
–> medial and lateral heads

50
Q

Insertion of the triceps brachii

A

Ulna
–> olecranon process

51
Q

What action does the triceps brachii perform?

A

Elbow extension

52
Q

What is the anconeus?

A

a muscle that is small and helps the triceps extend the elbow

53
Q

What is the pronator teres?

A

Superficial muscle that crosses the elbow, but is covered by the brachioradialis at distal end

54
Q

Origin of the pronator teres muscle

A

Medial epicondyle

55
Q

Insertion of the pronator teres

A

Mid radius

56
Q

What action does the pronator teres perform?

A

Pronates forearm

Assists in elbow flexion

57
