Question Answer
What carpal bone is located just distal to LI5 and LU9? Scaphoid
What carpal bone has a hook in the palm? Hamate
Which carpal bone does pisiform "sit" on? Triquetrium
Do flexors originate on lateral or medial epicondyle? Medial
Do extensors originate on lateral or medial epicondyle? Lateral
Which wrist retinaculum forms the "ceiling" of the carpal tunnel? Flexor Retinaculum
Which extensor muscle goes to the distal phalange of the thumb? Extensor Pollicis Longus
What kind of joint is the CMC joint of the thumb? Saddle
Which action can "hinge" joints on the hand do? Flexion and Extension
How many phalanges total are there in the hand? 14
What are movements of the wrist? The movements of the wrist joint are: -flexion and extension -radial and ulnar deviation (ABduction and ADduction) Circumduction (circular motion) results as the combination of the two above.
What are the movements of the thumb? Begin with the dorsum on the table... Flexion and extension (in the same plane - toward, away from the small finger) ABduction: thumb lifts toward ceiling ADDuction:thumb returns to the table Opposition: thumb and pinkie touch Reposition: thumb returns to original position
Is the supinator muscle closer to the wrist or to the elbow? Elbow (originates at the lateral epicondyle of humerus, radial ligament, annular ligament and supinator crest of ulna)
Does anconeus muscle insert on the radius or ulna? Ulna (olecranon process and posterior, proximal surface of ulna)
Is the anconeus muscle closer to the olecranon or the radio-carpal joint? Olecranon
Does the supinator muscle insert on the radius or ulna? Radius (anterior, lateral surface of proximal one third of radial shaft)
Does the extensor carpi radialis longus move the wrist or fingers? Wrist (inserts at the base of the second metacarpal)
Do extensor pollicis longus and brevis move the fingers, wrist or thumb? Wrist and the thumb
Which muscle extends fingers 2 to 5? Extensor digitorum communis
Which finger is considered the "middle" of the hand? Middle finger is considered as a midline of the hand.
Which muscle tendons are on either side of the "anatomical snuffbox"? Extensor pollicis longus and brevis.
Where is abductor pollicis longus in relation to LU9? LU9 is medial to the tendon of abductor pollicis longus (on the radial side of the tendon).
What happens to the fingers when they are abducted? Abduction: fingers move away from the middle finger. Adduction: fingers move toward the middle finger. Middle finger can do the ulnar and radial deviation.
