A

draws the 5th digit and rotates it, to help it touch the tip of thumb

41
Q

Muscles of the hand

A

Lumbricals and Interossei

42
Q

Lumbricals 1,2,3,4 origin

A

1 and 2: lateral two tendons of flexor digitorum profundus

3 and 4: medial three tendons of flexor digitorum profundus

Deep branch pf the ulnar nerve

49
Q
