Flexor carpi radialis
A, O, I
Named for action and location
A: flexion of wrist and Abduction of wrist (towards radius)
I: base of 2nd and 3rd metacarpal
O: medial epicondyle of humerus via the flexor tendon

Metacarpals
3 parts
Base
Shaft
Head
Flexor carpi radialis
Tendon that runs through the carpal tunnel
deep to the flexor retinaculum
Extensions originate on
the lateral epicondyle
Flexors originate on
Medial epicondyle
Radial versus ulnar deviation
Radial is abduction
Ulnar is adduction
Review of bone types
5
Long Short Flat Irregular Sesamoid
Bone regions - long bones
Diaphysis
Epiphysis
Metaphysis
Diaphysis
Shaft (body)
Epiphysis
Ends of long bone
Metaphysis
In between diaphysis and epiphysis
Long bone growth happens here
Coverings - long bone
Periosteum
Articular cartilage
Periosteum
Sleeve like membrane around diaphysis
Articular cartilage
Hyaline covering over joint surfaces of epiphysis
Cavities - long bones
Medullary cavity
Endosteum
Medullary cavity
Tube-like hollow space within diaphysis
Child - red bone marrow, filled with blood cells
Adult - yellow bone marrow, filled with fat
endosteum
lining of the medullary cavity
Yellow bone marrow
Contains adipose tissue
Fat storage for energy
More prevalent in adults
Red bone marrow
Contains blood cells
Produces blood cells (hematopoiesis)
More prevalent in children (changes around age 5)
Bone tissue
General
Hard connective tissue
Osseous tissue
It has a tensile strength nearly equal to iron but less than 1/3 the weight
Types of bone cells
4
Osteogenic
Osteoblasts
Osteoclasts
Osteocytes
Bone tissue matrix
Fibers - collagen (body’s most abundant protein
Ground substance : calcium, phosphate (mineral salts)
Water
Osteogenic
Bone creating
Stem cells
Found in the endosteum and lining of the Haversian canals
Undergo cell division to form osteoblasts
