PRACTICALS UPPER LIMBS OE EKPO
Muscles which bind shoulder girdle to axial skeleton Trapezius; Levator scapulae; Rhomboid (major & minor) Serratus anterior; Pectoralis minor Winging of scapula: Weakness or paralysis of the serratus anterior, secondary to palsy of the long thoracic nerve, is the commonest cause of winging.
Muscles which attach humerus to axial skeleton Pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi.
Rotator cuff muscles Posterior Anterior
MUSCLES OF THE ARM Arm-anterior Biceps brachii
MUSCLES OF THE FOREARM Flexors: superficial layer Flexors: intermediate layer Flexors: deep layer
Long extensors Short extensors Anconeus
Divided into: muscles of the thenar eminence acting on the thumb Opponens pollicis Abductor pollicis brevis Flexor pollicis brevis muscles of the hypothenar eminence acting on the little finger Opponens digiti minimi Abductor digiti minimi Flexor digiti minimi brevis Palmaris brevis Adductor pollicis Interossei 4 dorsal interossei 3 palmar interossei 4 lumbricals Intrinsic muscles
Dorsal interossei Adductor and palmar interossei Axial line Axial line
Superficial thenar and hypothenar muscles Deep thenar and hypothenar muscles Palmaris brevis Origin: Flexor retinaculum and palmar aponeurosis Insertion: Skin of palm into dermis Action: Steadies and corrugates skin of palm to help with grip Nerve: Superficial branch of ulnar N (C8, T1)
Palmar aponeurosis • thickened, central portion of the deep palmar fascia • Proximal attachments: distal edge of flexor retinaculum (transverse carpal ligament) and to tendon of palmaris longus • radiates toward the bases of the fingers usually as a continuation of the tendon of the palmaris longus muscle • Distal attachments: via 4 slips which become continuous with fibrous sheaths of fingers; anchors to skin of palm in distal portions • helps with gripping
