Definition
the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm
Term
at what point does the radial nerve brancha nd what does it become
Definition
it branches at the elbow and become the superifical radial (cutaneous) and the deep (becomes the posterior interossoeus nerve)
Term
where is the anterior interosseous nerve dervied?
Definition
it is a branch of the median nerve

Term
spreading fingers away from the 3rd digit is
Definition
abduction
Term
bringing the fingers loser to the 3rd digits is
Definition
adduction
Term
the lumbrial interosseous tendons cross the metacarpal joints and connect with the dorsal hood this causes the fingers to
Definition
flex at the metacarpals and extend at the interphalangial joints
Term
thumb muscle have the name
Definition
pollicus
Term
In the hand describe the innervation of the radial nerve
Definition
it is cutaneous only
Term
changing the angle of the cervical riban do what to the nerve
Definition
add the possibility of adding traction to the nerve. It may not be noticeable until adulthood
Term
frature to the medial epicondyle or disloation of the elbow can cause
Definition
damage to the ulnar nerve
Term
occupations that can lead to chronic elbow disorders
Definition
boxing, jackhammer holder, and violin player (has the highest incidence of ulnar nerve problems)
Term
when there is hypertrophy of the epicondylo-oleranon ligament what can result

ulnar sulcus syndrome, because that ligament overs the ulnar nerve
Term
this syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve is trapped under the flexor carpi ulnaris near the elbow and effects the hand and the forearm

Definition
ulnar nerve
Term
when a person has claw hand describe the position of the thumb, the hypothenar eminence and why
Definition
the abducted position because the adductor policcus is damaged, ahd there is atrophy of the hypothenar eminence because there is damage to the ulnar nerve

Definition
-the lateral palmar ascpet of the hand
-the lateral palmar 3.5 digits
-the nailbeds in digits 2,3, abd half of 4
