Week I Hand And Wrist Flashcards
Bones of the upper limb - 4 main groups.
1- hand and wrist
2-forearm
3-arm (humerus)
4-shoulder girdle
’ How many bones are in each hand and wrist
27 bones
Digits are what
Fingers and or phalanges (total)
How many phalanges are in the hand
14.
How many Metacarpals ( what do they make Up)
5 (make up the palm)
How many carpals (what do they make)
8 (the wrist)
Each finger and thumb are called
Digits
Each digit consist of two or three separate bones called
Phalanges.
2-5 digits are composed of three phalanges:
Proximal, middle and. distal
Thumb has 2 phalanges
Proximal and distal.
Each metacarpal is composed of three parts:
Head, body and base
Interphalangeal joint is.
Between the joints of the thumb.
Metacarpophalangeal (mcp) joint
Joint between first metacarpal and proximal phalanx
Dip
Distal interphalangeal joint
Pip
Proximal interphalangeal joint
Most proximally
M.c.p (metacarpo-phalangeal)
Metacarpals articulate w. Phalanges @ their distal ends=
Metacarpophalangeal joints (m.c.p)
(Proximal end) - metacarpals articulate w. Respective carpals =
Carpometa carpal joints (CMC)
First metacarpal w.
Trapezium
Second metacarpal w.
Trapezoid
Third metacarpal w.
Capitate
Fourth/fifth metacarpal W.
Hamate
Third groups of bones of the hand/wrist are
Carpals
Scaphoid is referred as
Navicular
Lunate articulates w.

Who’s the smallest of All carpal bunts
Pisiform
Largest of carpal bones
Capitate.
Smallest in distal row
Trapezoid
Bone that’s hooklike
Hamate
Four-sided, irregularly shape bone
Trapezium
Carpal sulcus does what / who’s seen the best.
Shows concave anterior or palmar aspect of the carpals ‘/ pisiform and hamulus process of hamate are seen best on this view
Carpal tunnel is seen more in middle age women (t/f)
True
(All) joints of upper limb are synovial which means
Freely, movable, or diathrodial
Ip joints are what type
Hinge/ginglymus (moves in 2 directions - flexion and extension)
M.c.p joints (2 - 5) are what type
Ellipsoidal(condlyoid ) - move in 4 directions flexion, extension, abduction and addiction
M.c.p joint (1) is what
Condyloid and is very limited adduction/abduction
CMC joints of thumb is a _ type joint
Sellar-type Allows @great range of movement
2-5 CMC are- - type joints
Gliding
Ip joints between carpals have only a.
Plane (gliding)
