A

Proximo-dorsal ends of McII and McIII.

3
Q

M. extensor carpi radialis Function?

A

Extension of the carpus; flexion of the elbow joint.

4
Q

A

Lateral epicondyle of the humerus

8
Q

M. extensor digitorum lateralis Insertion?

10
Q

M. extensor carpi ulnaris [M. ulnaris lateralis] origin?

A

Lateral epicondyle of the humerus.

11
Q

M. extensor carpi ulnaris [M. ulnaris lateralis] Insertion?

A

Proximo-lateral end of McV and accessory carpal bone.

12
Q

M. extensor carpi ulnaris [M. ulnaris lateralis] Function?

A

Flexion of the carpus.

13
Q

M. extensor digiti I et II [M. extensor pollicus longus et indicis proprius]

A

This thread-like muscle lies deep to the common and lateral digital extensors and the M.
extensor carpi ulnaris. It is of no practical importance and is only mentioned for the sake of
completeness.
Origin: Cranio-lateral border of the ulna.
Insertion: One tendon ends in the fascia at the distal end of McI; the other joins the
tendon of the common digital extensor to digit II.
Function: Extension of the digits I and II.

14
Q

M. abductor digiti I longus [M. abductor pollicis longus] Origin?

A

Lateral surfaces of the radius and ulna.

15
Q

M. abductor digiti I longus [M. abductor pollicis longus] Insertion?

A

Proximo-medial end of McI. There is a sesamoid bone in the tendon of insertion.

16
Q

M. abductor digiti I longus [M. abductor pollicis longus] Function?

A

Abduction of digit I.

17
Q

M. flexor carpi radialis Origin?

A

Medial epicondyle of the humerus.

18
Q

M. flexor carpi radialis Insertion?

A

Proximo-palmar ends of McII and McIII

19
Q

M. flexor carpi radialis Function?

A

Flexion of the carpus

20

A

Palmar tubercules proximally on P2 of digits II-V

22
Q

M. flexor digitorum Superficialis Function?

Flexion of the carpus; passive support of the carpus and prevention of
excessive over-extension when weight bearing.

A

Caput humerale: Medial epicondyle of humerus.
Caput radiale: Caudo-medial aspect of radius.
