Question Answer
Anterior compartment layers (3) Function? Superficial layer Intermediate layer Deep layer Function: pronation, flexion
Anterior compartment: Superficial layer muscles (4) Flexor carpi ulnaris m. Palmaris longus m. Flexor carpi radialis m. Pronator teres m.
Flexor carpi ulnaris m. Origin? Innervation? Function? (2) Origin: medial epicondyle ---> pisiform bone Innervation: ulnar nerve Function: flexion of wrist, adduction of wrist
Palmaris longus m. Origin? Innervation? Function? (2) Origin: medial epicondyle --> palmar aponeurosis Innervation: median nerve Function: flexion of wrist; prevents shearing forces when gripping with hand
Flexor carpi radialis m. Origin? Innervation? Function? (2) Origin: medial epicondyle --> base of metacarpals 2, 3 Innervation: median nerve Function: flexion of wrist, adduction of wrist
Pronator teres m. Origin? Innervation? Function? (1) Origin: medial epicondyle --> lateral mid-shaft radius Innervation: median nerve Function: pronation
Anterior compartment: Intermediate layer (1) Flexor digitorum superficialis m.
Flexor digitorum superficialis m. Origin? Innervation? Function? (3) Origin: medial epicondyle --> four tendons: palmar surface of middle phalanges of fingers Innervation: median nerve Function: flexion of proximal interphalangeal joints, flexion of metacarpophalangeal joints, flexion of wrist
Anterior compartment: Deep layer muscles (3) Flexor digitorum profundus m. Flexor pollicis longus m. Pronator quadratus m.
Flexor digitorum profundus m. Origin? Innervation? (2) Function? (3) Origin: medial surface of ulna/medial half of IO membrane --> four tendons: palmar surface of distal phalanges of fingers Innervation: LATERAL HALF - median nerve; MEDIAL HALF - ulnar nerve Function: flexion of distal interphalangeal joints, flexion of metacarpophalangeal joints, flexion of wrist
Flexor pollicis longus m. Origin? Innervation? (+specific n.) Function? (2) Origin: anterior surface of radius/radial half of IO membrane --> palmar surface of base of distal thumb phalanx Innervation: median nerve (anterior interosseous nerve) Function: fixes interphalangeal thumb joint, flexion of metacarpophalangeal thumb joint
Pronator quadratus m. Origin? Innervation? (+specific n.) Function? (1) Origin: distal anterior surface of ulna --> distal anterior surface of radius Innervation: median nerve (anterior interosseous nerve) Function: pronation of forearm
Posterior compartment Layers? Function? (2) Superficial layer Deep layer Function: Extension, supination
Posterior compartment Superficial layer (7) Brachioradialis m. Extensor carpi radialis longus m. Extensor carpi radialis brevis m. Extensor digitorum m. Extensor digit minimi m. Extensor carpi ulnaris m. Anconeus m.
Posterior superficial layer Brachioradialis m. Origin? Innervation? Function? Origin: proximal part of lateral supraepicondylar ridge (humerus) --> lateral surface of distal radius Innervation: radial nerve (before splitting) Function: accessory flexion of elbow joint WHEN in mid-pronation
Posterior superficial layer Extensor carpi radialis longus m. Origin? Innervation? Function? (2) Origin: distal part of supraepicondylar ridge (humerus) --> dorsal surface of base of metacarpal 2 Innervation: radial nerve (before splitting) Function: Extension of wrist, abduction of wrist
Posterior superficial layer Extensor carpi radialis brevis m. Origin? Innervation? Function? (2) Origin: lateral epicondyle --> dorsal surface of base of metacarpals 2, 3 Innervation: deep branch of radial nerve (before entering supinator m.) Function: Extension of wrist, abduction of wrist
Posterior supercifial layer Extensor digitorum m. Origin? Innervation? Function? (2) Origin: lateral epicondyle --> four tendons: extensor hoods on dorsal aspects of middle/distal finger phalanges Innervation: posterior interosseous nerve Function: Extension of fingers, extension of wrist
Posterior superficial layer Extensor digiti minimi m. Origin? Innervation? Function? (1) Origin: lateral epicondyle --> dorsal extensor hood of little finger Innervation: posterior interosseous nerve Function: extension of little finger
Posterior superficial layer Extensor carpi ulnaris m. Origin? Innervation? Function? (2) Origin: lateral epicondyle --> tubercle on medial side of base of metacarpal 5 Innervation: posterior interosseous nerve Function: extension of wrist, adduction of wrist
Posterior superficial layer Anconeus m. Origin? Innervation? Function? (2) Origin: lateral epicondyle --> olecranon Innervation: radial nerve Function: abduction of ulna WHEN pronated; accessory extension of elbow
Posterior compartment Deep layer (5) Supinator m. Abductor pollicis longus m. Abductor pollicis brevis m. Extensor pollicis longus m. Extensor indicis m.
Posterior deep layer Supinator m. Origin? (2) Innervation? Function? (1) Origin: SUPERFICIAL PART - lateral epicondyle, radial collateral ligament, radial annular ligament --> lateral surface of radius DEEP PART - supinator crest (ulna) --> lateral surface of radius Innervation: posterior interosseous nerve Function: supination
Posterior deep layer Abductor pollicis longus m. Origin? Innervation? Function? (2) Origin: posterior surface of ulna and radius (distal to supinator/anconeus) --> lateral side of base of metacarpal 1 Innervation: posterior interosseous nerve Function: abduction of carpometacarpal thumb joint, accessory extensor of thumb
Posterior deep layer Extensor pollicis brevis m. Origin? Innervation? Function? (2) Origin: posterior surface of radius (distal to abductor pollicis longus) --> dorsal surface of base of proximal thumb phalanx Innervation: posterior interosseous nerve Function: extension of metacarpophalangeal thumb joint, extension of carpometacarpal thumb joint
Posterior deep layer Extensor pollicis longus m. Origin? Innervation? Function? (3) Origin: posterior surface of ulna (distal to abductor pollicis longus) --> dorsal surface of base of distal thumb phalanx Innervation: posterior interosseous nerve Function: extension of interphalangeal thumb joint, extension of metacarpophalangeal thumb joint, extension of carpometacarpal thumb joint
