What nerve innervates the anterior (flexor) compartment?
Musculocutaneous n.
This muscle inserts at the pisiform and hamate. It’s action is flexión and adduction of wrist. What is the muscle and what nerve is it innervated by?
Flexor carpi ulnaris m.; ulnar n.
What is the action of extensor pollicis longus and what is its innervation?
Extension of the IP joint; posterior interosseous nerve
What nerve innervates the thenar compartment?
Recurrent branch of the Median nerve
What are the two tests for carpal tunnel syndrome?
Tinel and phalen
2. This muscle is in the anterior (flexor) compartment. It flexes and adducts the arm. It inserts medial to the humeral shaft. What is the origin and muscle?
Coracobrachialis m.; origin: coracoid process
The flexor digitorum superficialis originates at the medial epicondyle, coronoid process, upper radius. It is innervated by the median nerve. It’s insertion is: tendons split to insert on the sides of the MIDDLE phalanges of digits 2-5. What is that action of this muscle? Flexion of the wrist joints, metacarpal phalanges (MCP), proximal interphalangeal
(PIP), carpal-metacarpal (CMC) joints
Loss of this nerve in the arm will result in “wrist drop”:

d. Brachialis
c. extensor carpi radialis brevis
Excessive lumbar curvature, often due to obesity or pregnancy

3. What is the action of the biceps brachii?
Flexes the supinated forearm, supinated the flexed forearm
The flexor digitorum superficialis originates at the medial epicondyle, coronoid process, upper radius. It is innervated by the median nerve. It’s insertion is: tendons split to insert on the sides of the MIDDLE phalanges of digits 2-5. What is that action of this muscle?
Flexion of the wrist joints, metacarpal phalanges (MCP), proximal interphalangeal (PIP),
