lecture 13: anterior forearm and hand Flashcards
know the elements of the radius and ulna
styloid processes heads ext
explain the projection of the styloid process of the ulna
projects from medial side (palpated medially and extends posterioly)
is the dorsal tubercle located psoterior or anterior
posterior
how many radioulnar joints are there
3
what are the 3 radioulnar jpints
proximal
middle
distal
what type of joint is the proximal radioulnar jt
synovial pivot
what makes the proximal RU jt a pivot
annular ligament
the radius or the ulna moves in supination/pronation
the radius moves reltaive to ulna
what type of joint is the middle RU jt
solid, syndesmosis (no articular cartilage)
what makes up the middle RU jt
interosseus membrane
what is the function of the interosseus membrane
keeps both shafts together under tendion
important for muscle attachments
what type of joint is the distal RU jt
synovial pivot
(doesal and ventral radioulnar lig)
where is the annular lig of the elbow found
proximal RU jt
where are the ventral and dorsal radioulnar ligaments of the elbow found
distal
what are the movements possible at the radioulnar joints
pronation and supination
know the difference btween pronation and supination
,
explain the movement of the radius during ponarion
the ulna is locked in the humerus therefore the radius rotates over the fixed ulna
(moves obliquely) so that the head of the radius moves medially)
only the BLANK moves during pronation and supination
RADIUS
explain the movement of the distal end of the radius during RU movement
only the radius moves during pronation and supination with the distal end pivoting around ulnar head
how many carpal bones
8
how many metacarpals
5
what are the bones of the palm
metacarpas
what are the aspects of the metacarpals
head body and base
where does the base of the metacarpals sit
prxomial to the carpas
