Ulnar n.: Describe the action of the interossei m.
- Arise from shaft of metacarpal bones. - Flex MCP and extend interphalangeal joints. Know: - each finger has 2 interossei mm's (all ulnar nerve) - Palmar interossei-->adduct the fingers -dorsal interossei- ABDUCT fingers DAB PAD (dorsal abducts, palmar adducts)
180
Ulnar n.: Describe the anatomy of the "funny bone."
- "Funny bone" is in the cubital tunnel. | - Ganglia of Guyon's canal can encroach on ulnar n. at volar wrist and cause loss of motor and sensory function.
181
Ulnar n.: General function?
- Finger spreader nerve - Assistant flexor muscle - Intrinsic mm innervation of the hand.
182
Ulnar n.: Innervation of what lumbricals? Allow the patient to produce what sign?
- Lumbricals are innervated by the Ulnar n for the medial two fingers, and Median n for lateral two fingers. - The Interossei are innervated by the Ulnar n.--> The result is the ability to hold a pea – the “TaaTaa” Sign - Ability to flex the MCP joints at the same time as extending the IP joints.
183
Ulnar n.: What muscles are innervated that allow for motor and sensory function in the fourth and fifth finger.
- Flexor carpi ulnaris | - (MEDIAL part of) Flexor digitorum profundus.
184

extension
187
Upper limb: Which nerve root(s) are responsible for extension of the forearm?
C7
188
Upper limb: Which nerve root(s) are responsible for flexion of the fingers?
C8
189
Upper limb: Which nerve root(s) are responsible for flexion of the forearm?
C6
190
Upper limb: Which nerve root(s) innervate proximal upper limb muscles and sensory to lateral upper arm?
C5
191
Upper limb: Which nerve root(s) innervate(s) the hand muscles and sensory to medial forearm to little finger?
T1
192
Veins: The basilic vein becomes what vein?
Axillary vein
193
Veins: The cephalic vein joins at the | ___ fossa.
clavipectoral
194
Where do the extensors of the wrist and fingers originate?
- Lateral epicondyle of the humerus
195
Where do the flexors of the wrist and fingers originate?
- Medial epicondyle of the humerus.
196
Wrist and hand bones: How many carpal rows are there?
Two
197
Wrist and hand bones: Name them based off of the mnemonic "So Long To Pinky Here Comes The Thumb"
- S caphoid - L unate - T riquetrium - P isiform - H amate - C apitate - T rapezoid - T rapezium
198
Wrist and hand bones: Name them based off of the mnemonic "Some Lovers Try Positions That They Can't Handle"
- S caphoid. - L unate. - T riquetrum. - P isiform. - T rapezium. - T rapezoid. - C apitate. - H amate.
199
Wrist and hand bones: The carpal arch and flexor retinaculum are structures associated with what?
- The carpal tunnel
200
Wrist and hand bones: The pisiform is the sesamoid bone associated with what muscle?
- Flexor carpi ulnaris
201
Wrist and hand bones: Ununited fractures of the scaphoid can lead to what conditions (other than avascular necrosis)?
- Chronic pain | - Arthritis
202
Wrist and hand bones: What critical condition needs to be considered when you are dealing with a scaphoid fracture?
Avascular necrosis
203
Wrist and hand bones: What is a mnemonic to help you remember the hands of the bone?
- So Long To Pinky Here Comes The Thumb (or) | - Some Lovers Try Positions That They Can't Handle
204
Wrist and hand bones: What is the most sensitive test for diagnosing a scaphoid injury?
MRI
205
Wrist and hand bones: Why does avascular necrosis occur?
- Blood supply of the scaphoid is from the radial artery - Artery enters the distal scaphoid then the proximal scaphoid. - Thus, a fracture in the mid-part of the scaphoid that is not treated properly can result in loss of blood supply to the proximal scaphoid.
