Q

What arteries supply the arm?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. axillary

2. brachial artery

25
What nerves innervate the arm?
1. musculocutaneous 2. radial 3. axillary
26
What arteries supply the forearm and hand?
1. ulnar | 2. radial
27
What nerves innervate the forearm and hand?
1. median 2. ulnar 3 radial
28
What are the three muscles in the deep layer of the anterior compartment?
1. Flexor digitorum profundus 2. flexus pollicis longus 3. pronator quadratus
29
What is the origin and insertion of the supinator muscle? Where is this muscle located? is it in the deep or superficial layer? What is its action?
O: lateral epicondyle of the humerus I: lateral, posterior and anterior surfaces of proximal third of radius This muscle is located in the posterior compartment of the forearm and it is in the deep layer. Its action is to supinate the forearm
30
What is the action of the adductor pollicis?
adducts thumb toward middle digit
31
What group does the adductor pollicis belong?
central compartment of the hand
32
What is the main action of the brachioradialis muscle? What nerve innervates this muscle?
Powers elbow flexion and semi-pronation; radial nerve. *Not considered a member of either the flexor or extensor group
33
How many metacarpals are there?
5
34
What number digit is assigned to the thumb? the pinky?
thumb - 1st digit | pinky - 5th digit
35
What two bones articulate with the radius?
carpal bones scaphoid and lunate
36
What bone does the 1st metacarpal articulate with?
trapezium
37
Which bone does the 2nd metacarpal articulate with ?
trapezoid
38
What bone does the 3rd metacarpal articulate with?
capitate
39
What bone does the 4th metacarpal articulate with?
hamate
40
What bone does the 5th metacarpal articulate with?
hamate
41
How many carpal bones are there?
8
42
What are the purpose if the carpal bones?
They allow for mobility of the hand and opposition which is unique to the human species
43
Name the proximal row of carpal bones from lateral to medial
Scaphoid --> lunate --> Triquetral --> pisiform
44
Name the distal row of carpal bones from lateral to medial
trapezium --> trapezoid --> capitate --> hamate
45
What is special about the 1st phalange?
The thumb (1st digit) has only 2 bones: the proximal and distal phalanx. It does not have a middle bone. The rest of the 4 digits have 3: proximal, middle and distal
46
What type of joint is the elbow?
synovial; hinge
47
What is the carrying angle?
Since the trochlear is larger medially, the ulna migrates laterally. This creates a 15 degree carrying angle of the forearm which is greater in females than in males to accommodate for the wider pelvic girdle.
48
What kind of joint is the proximal radioulnar joint? What kind of movement does it allow?
pivot joint; pronation and supination
49
What bones make up the wrist joint?
the distal end of the radius and the proximal row of carpal bones
50
is the ulna part of the wrist joint?
no because it is separated from the carpals by a fibre-cartilagenous disc and does not contribute to the wrist joint
51
What kind of joint is the wrist joint?
condyloid, synovial joint because of the shape of the radius and the two carpal bones that the radius directly articulates with: scaphoid and lunate
52
What bones make up the metacarpal-phalangeal joints (MCPs)? What actions do they allow?
metacarpals and phalanges. The heads make up the knuckles. 1. flexion/extension 2. abduction/adduction
53
What type of joint is between the trapezium and the base of the first metacarpal?
saddle-type, synovial joint. This joint allows for opposition. Movements: 1. flex/ext 2. abd/add 3. opposition
54
What are the joints between the phalanges called? What kind of joints are they?
interphalangeal joints 1. proximal interphalangeal joints (PIP) 2. Distal interphalangeal joints (DIP) (digits 2-5) Interphalangeal joints are hinge joints
55
PRONATOR TERES
O: medial epicondyle of humerus I: middle of lateral surface of radius A: pronates forearm and flexes elbow anterior compartment of forearm; superficial layer
56
SUPINATOR
O: Lateral epicondyle of humerus I: lateral, posterior, and anterior surfaces of proximal third of radius A: supinates forearm posterior compartment; deep layer
57
PRONATOR QUADRATUS
O: Distal 4th of anterior surface of ulna I: Distal fourth of anterior surface of radius A: Pronates forearm anterior compartment; deep layer
58
EXTENSOR DIGITI MINIMI
O: lateral epicondyle of humerus I: Extensor expansion of 5th digit A: Extends the 5th digit at the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints innervated by: radial nerve posterior compartment; superficial layer
