Term
what is a sesamoid bone?

Definition

it is richly supplied with sensory nerves

it is capable of tearing

it provides nurishment to surrounding skeletal muscle

Term
explain hiltons law of muscles and joints
Definition

Term
what is proprioception
Definition
the 6th sense, tells us where body parts are w/o needing to look at them
Term
what motion(s) can't epicondlye joints perform?
Definition
AB-ADduction
Term
give an example of tonus contraction
Definition
remaining in straight posture.  all joints are stabilized
Term
what induces development of underlying mesenchyme and promotes growth in proximo-distal axis
Definition
the apical ectodermal ridge
Term
how have our limbs evolved from those of many other animal species (i.e. lizards)
Definition
our upper and lower limbs rotated 180 degrees with respect to each other in humans unlike in reptiles (elbows dorsally, knees ventrally)
Term
when does the axillary artery become the brachial artery?
Definition
once it passes the teres major
Term
where is the optimal location to occulate the axillary artery?
Definition

superior to the subscapular artery because anastomoses will still be able to supply the area inferior to the subscapular artery.

 

clamping the inferior subscapular will cut off blood flow to all distal tissues

Term
what nerves innervate the anterior arm? anterior forearm? posterior arm? posterior forearm?
Definition

musculocutaneous

 

median and ulnar

 

radial

 

radial

Term
what divisions of the brachial plexus sevice specific compartments, muscle movements?
Definition

the anterior divisions service anterior compartments and flexion

 

the posterior divisions service anterior compartments and extension

Term

anterior components of hand NOT innervated by the ulnar nerve:

 

Definition

 

Hand:

Thenar eminence and radial

     2 lumbricals

 

Term
what are the rotator cuff muscles?
Definition

teres minor

supscapularis

Term
FXN of biceps muscle?
Definition
flexion and extension of arm, it is also a strong supinator
Term

ABduction

 

ADduction

Definition

AB= supraspinatus, deltoid

AD= infraspinatus, pec major

Term
what epicondyle do all elbow muscles attach to?
Definition
the medial
Term
what nerve is known as the "bagel nerve"
Definition

Term
where does a lumbrical originate from? insert into?
Definition
it originate from a flexor digitorum profundus and inserts into the expansion hood which covers the proximal phalange
Term
why does what is the etiology of ulnar drift?
Definition
the common extensor tendon runs up the middle dorsal of the finger.  it is usually fixed there by collateral ligaments on the sides.  inflammatory processes can tear these ligaments, therefore, the tendon wont be held in the middle and can drift to the side.  ulnar drift
Term
what are the contents of the adductor canal
Definition
femoral artery, femoral vein, and branches of the femoral nerve (specifically, the saphenous nerve, and the nerve to the Vastus medialis
