What is brachialis
100
It inserts on the Palmar aponeurosis and the flexor retinaculum
What is Palmaris longus
100
These 2 muscles cause pronation of forearm
What are the pronator quadratus & the pronator teres
200
This deep muscle originates on the proximal 1/2 of the Ulna & the interosseus membrane
What is the flexor Digitorum Profundus
200
This superficial wrist flexor is located medial to the Palmaris longus and inserts on the pisiform, the hook of hamate and the base of the 5th metacarpal
What is the Flexor carpi ulnaris
200
It's origin is the medial supracondylar ridge and medial epicondyle of the humerus and also has a thin ulnar head on the coronoid process of the ulna.
What is the pronator teres
200
It inserts on the anterior surfaces of digits 2-5 on the DISTAL phalanges
What is Flexor digitorum profundus
200
Compression of the ulnar nerve between the two heads of this muscle is called cubital tunnel syndrome
What is flexor carpi ulnaris
300
This digit flexor originates on the anterior surface of the radius, the interosseous membrane, the CFT of the humerus and the coronoid process of the ulna
What is the flexor pollicus longus
300
The deepest muscle of the anterior forearm this muscle inserts on the distal 1/4 of the radius
What is pronater quadratus
300
This small shoulder muscle is a weak flexor of the shoulder and originates on the coracoid process of the scapula
What is coracobrachialis
300
It inserts distally on the ulnar tuberosity of the ulna
What is the brachialis
300
This muscle radially deviates the hand at the wrist joint
What is flexor carpi radialis
400
This wrist flexor is the only muscle superficial to the flexor retina clumsy & attaches solely on the common flexor tendon of the humerus
What is the palmaris longus
400
This 2 headed muscle starts proximal to the CFT on the medial supracodylar ridge of the humerus and the coronoid process of the ulna. It inserts on the middle 1/3 of the medial surface of the radius
What is Pronator Teres
400
It originates on the distal 1/4 of the ulna
What is pronator quadratus
400
It inserts on the anterior surface at the base of the distal phalanx of the 1st digit
What is flexor pollicus longus
400
This muscle is involved in carpal tunnel syndrome when the synovial sheath become inflamed, compressing the median nerve. However this muscle is also innervated by the ulnar nerve.
What is flexor digitorum profundus
500
This 2 headed wrist flexor arises from the CFT of the humerus and the medial margin of the olecranon and the posterior proximal 2/3 of the ulna
What is flexor carpi ulnaris
500
This flexor inserts distally on the MIDDLE phalanges of digits 2-5
What is the flexor digitorum superficialis
500
This muscle located distally on metacarpals 2 & 3, originates on the common flexor tendon on the medial epicondyle of the humerus
What is Flexor carpi radialis
500
This large muscle inserts on the radial tuberosity of the radius and the bicipital aponeurosis as well as the deep fascia over the CFT.
What is biceps brachii
500
There are 4 muscles that contribute to flexion of the wrist and that are solely supplied by the median nerve.
What are the flexor pollicus longus
The flexor digitorum superficialis
The flexor carpi radialis
And the palmaris longus
