quick one I got to be really quick
because there's some students who want
to come in and use the lab they're doing
some revision exams or something um so
we looked at the forearm and the hand
last time and sorry I started talking
about extensor carpy oh know I started
talking about the extens of carpy
radialis muscles and I flipped and
started calling them flexor carpy
radialis brevis and flexor carpy
radialis long sorry thank you Terence
for pointing that out um I've added a
little annotation so watch out for that
yeah so this week we got that far how
about we do that bit we do that bit just
add the next set of muscles on there so
here's the hand um I got the bones as
well so we maybe talk about some of the
carpal bones should we start with the
carpal bones can do right so let's stick
with the right hand cuz that model is
the right hand as well so here's the
right hand here's the thumb here's the
first metac carple of the thumb the
first metac carple articulates with
trapezium trapezium is here so trapezium
then has scaphoid
and scoid is between trapezium and the
radius and it's the scaphoid that people
break when they fall and break their for
with a flexed wrist and so on and of
course we were talking about the
anatomical snuff box if you if somebody
has broken their scaphoid bone you can
often tell that it's broken by uh poking
inside the anatomical snuff box in
between those tendons that's where you
find the scaphoid bone and if they get
pain they may well have broken the
scaphoid bone the other thing I always
remember is is this little bone here
like a PE so that's peasy form also over
this side we've got this hook this is
the hook of the hammade so the hamate is
over here so this is over by digiti
minimi the little finger
finger
um and pey form is beside triquetrum so
now we got three more bones left these
two in the middle we've got capitate and
lunate so capitate is the big one here
so capitate is articulating articulating
with this metacarpal here uh and lunate
is around
here so trapezium scao and then the little
bone so that's
trapezoid so trapezium at the base of
the thumb scaphoid between the trapezi
trapezium and the radius bone and
trapezoid is the little bone in there
and then we've got capitate and
lunate and then the one with a hook
that's the hamate hook of the hamate
this P here is peasy form and peasi
form is on top of
wrist what about the muscles the muscles
so here are the muscles of the hand um
we talked about palmara longest last
week as one of these tendons here so
palar long as continues and it flattens
out into this a Pon eurosis this is a
palmara Pon eurosis this flatten
connective tissue sheet which actually
is tightly adherent to the skin this is
really awkward to dissect away from the
skin because it it sticks so tightly to
it and it's important when gripping
things it gives you a good grip As you
move your hand to hold on to something
so let's take that
off BL
me um there's usually um a palmaris
brevis muscle in there as well which is
missing from this so right hand should
we take the thumb first so the thumb we
said was the pox so the muscles of the
thumb are picus muscles and we have this
lump here this
Mass all right which is the thear
Eminence uh literally it means you know
that bit of your hand that's where the
word came from it's the the ball of the
thumb and we have some muscles here now
we talked
about we talked about uh so we've got flexion
flexion
an extension an abduction an
adduction so these muscles are doing
those jobs and are named appropriately
so this muscle out here right so if you
if you contract this muscle you're going to
to
be abducting the thumb and we saw there
is a long abductor of the thumb this is
a short abductor of the thumb so this is
um abductor pocis brevis
inductor pois brevis is going from the
scaphoid and trapezium bones and
inserting into part of the the connected
tissues of the thumb but also into
the the proximal fank here we've got so
with this is the muscle that's going to
help us Flex this is flex aolis brevis
also going from trapezium out to the
first fanal bone uh abduct AIS brevis
and flex aolis brevis now if we take
those off we see the third muscle of the
thear remance and this here is the um
opponent's pocis muscle so opponent's
pocis that again goes from the tra the
trapezium bone but it passes to the
first metacarpal and that does a couple
of things cuz rather than flexing the
thummal it it it flexes that joint but
it also rotates that joint a little bit
so if we're talking about if we're
talking about opposition of bringing the
thumb and the little finger together
opponent's pisses give some rotation to
help that so those are the three muscles
of the thear
those are innovated by the media nerve
um there's another muscle here which you
can see if I take that off that
helps this is a adductor policis so if
that is abduction then this is adduction
then adductor policis is bringing the
thumb back to the fingers this is what
adductor pocis is doing now this has got
two heads it's got two parts um so
there's usually some all Innovation
there so while the muscles of the theeni
remnants are innovated by the median
nerve this adductor pocis muscle is also
innovated by the owner nerve so if a
patient has um median nerve weakness
then they still may be able to adduct
their thumb just
thumb on the other side of the hand we
have muscles that let us move our little
finger independently gives us a little
bit more control so these muscles are of
the little finger these muscles are of
digiti minimi so if these muscles are of
the little finger they're of um their
digiti minimi muscles and we can use the
same thinking again so if you abduct
your little finger then there's a muscle
here which will be abductor digiti
minimi uh so that's that's this muscle
here and of course this is flexion oh
look see I got to flex other fingers if
I flex my little finger that's I'm using
flexor digiti minimite as well as other
muscles but then this muscle then is
anterior so this is flexa digiti minimi
this is in fact flexa digiti minimi
brevis because there is also a flexa
digiti minimi longest which I think we
talked about last time um flexor digiti
minimi brevis is coming from the hook of
the hamate and abductor digiti minimi is
coming from PE form and then they're
extending into the extensor retinaculum
these connected tissues at the back of
the finger and into the U the proximal
fingy your bone of the fifth digit now
if we take those muscles off there we go
we can see this deeper muscle and this
deeper muscle look how it's kind of
twisting around here this is opponent's
digiti minimiz so this is the opposite
uh this is the matching muscle to
opponent's policis and uh so opponent's
digiti minimize passing from the hook of
the Hammet to the fifth meta carpal and
if you contract that muscle that's going
to rotate this joint and probably Aid in
flexion so it's helping that opposition
movement so that's opponent's digiti
minimi so those are the muscles of the hypoa
hypoa
Eminence oh the hypothenar muscles are
also innovated by the eler neres eler
nerve medium nerve so Theo remnance
hyperth remnance Adu pocis all right
we're almost there um I took this off so
these are the tendons of flexa digitorum
superficialis and beneath those flexor
digitorum profundus that we looked at
last time and we have these muscles here
these muscles are pretty unique in the
body and instead of passing from bone to
bone they're passing from connective
tissue to connective tissue these are
the lumbal so these
lumbal the lumbal pass from the tendons
of flexid digitorum
profundus to the extensor hoods the
extensor connective tissues of the
fingers look you can see this
here now the lumbal well they'll do this
is a weird thing but uh um they kind of they
they
help Flex the metacarpo Fingal joint
while also pulling on the extensor
sheaths to keep the Fingal joints
extended right so it
let it lets you do it kind of lets you
do that it lets you bend a straightened
finger these are the lumbal giving us
that control all right um two more
sets we have interus muscles interus
literally between bones so we've got
these metacarpal uh bones in here right
and we have muscles running from the
metacarpal bones up again to the the
extensor hoods and we have palar interus
muscles and we have d interus muscles
which we'd be able to see if we took all
these apart the palmon interus muscles
pass from the metacarpal to those
extensor hoods and the dorsal osus
muscles do the same but they're on the
dorsal side the we can use we can
remember pad and dab so the Palma
interus muscles adduct the dorsal
interus muscles abduct pad and dab right
they're all innovated by the olner nerve
so that's a test of the eler nerve so
abduction adduction um
Okay so we've looked at the carpal bones
and the metacarpal and the Fang the
fanges um in the hand then we want to
think about the Palmar
aponeurosis the muscles of the thear
remnance innovated by the median nerve
the muscles of the hypoa Eminence
innovated by the ELA nerve the lumbal
and the Palmar interus muscles and the
dorsal interus muscles which let us
adduct and abduct also innovated by the
El the nerve and then don't forget
adductor policis uh and forms this forms
kind this is this bit here this part of
the web all right right I'm done I got
