what is the origin and insertion of extensor carpi ulnaris?
3245
Origin and insertion The extensor carpi ulnaris muscle originates from the lateral epicondyle of humerus, via the common extensor tendon, and adjacent fascia. ... Shortly after entering the hand, the tendon passes over the dorsal surface of triquetral bone and inserts to the medial aspect of the base of metacarpal bone 5.

Your wrist contains eight small bones, called carpals. A network of ligaments holds them in place and allows them to move. A tear in any of these ligaments can result in two or more of your carpal bones being pushed out of their usual position. This results in a dislocated wrist.

Description: The Flexor digitorum superficialis is placed beneath the previous muscle; it is the largest of the muscles of the superficial group, and arises by three heads—humeral, ulnar, and radial.

The carpus is formed from eight small bones collectively referred to as the carpal bones. The carpal bones are bound in two groups of four bones: the pisiform, triquetrum, lunate and scaphoid on the upper end of the wrist. the hamate, capitate, trapezoid and trapezium on the lower side of the hand.

The ulnar nerve arises from the brachial plexus. It is a continuation of the medial cord, containing fibres from spinal roots C8 and T1. After arising from the brachial plexus, the ulnar nerve descends down the medial aspect of the upper arm.

Palmaris longus is a muscle of the forearm and wrist. It originates at the medial epicondyle of the humerus and inserts, a bit, at the flexor retinaculum. However, its major insertion point is the palmar aponeurosis.

Flexor hallucis longus arises from the posterior two thirds of the fibula and descends on the fibular side of the leg. It then crosses over the posterior part of the ankle to emerge on the sole of the foot, where it passes anteriorly to insert on the great toe (hallux).

Anatomical terms of bone The carpal bones are the eight small bones that make up the wrist (or carpus) that connects the hand to the forearm. The term "carpus" is derived from the Latin carpus and the Greek καρπός (karpós), meaning "wrist".

This muscle originates from the lateral supracondylar ridge, which is a raised ridge of bone that is located at the bottom of the humerus, right above the lateral epicondyle. This muscle then inserts onto the base of the 2nd metacarpal, which is the bone of the index finger that is located in the hand.

Local Anatomy The wrist joint generally refers to the radiocarpal joint, which is the articulation between the distal end of the radius and the articulating surface of the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetral bones. Other articulations in the wrist area include the distal radius and ulnar and the carpal bones.

Origin and insertion Biceps femoris is the most lateral hamstring muscle located in the posterior thigh. ... The long head of biceps femoris muscle originates from the medial facet (inferomedial impression) of ischial tuberosity, medial to the origin of semimembranosus and superior to the origin of adductor magnus muscle.

The extrinsic muscles of the hand are muscles that originate outside the hand but insert into structures within the hand 1,2. Most of the extrinsic muscles have their origins within the forearm, with several solely/also originating from the humerus: flexor carpi radialis. palmaris longus.

Extensor tendon compartments of the wrist are anatomical tunnels on the back of the wrist that contain tendons of muscles that extend (as opposed to flex) the wrist and the digits (fingers and thumb). The extensor tendons are held in place by the extensor retinaculum.

Origin and insertion Levator scapulae originates from the transverse processes of the first four cervical vertebrae. The muscle fibers descend laterally to insert at the superior angle and medial border of scapula, between the superior angle and base of the spine of scapula.

The ulnar artery arises in the cubital fossa and traverses through the medial (ulnar) side of the forearm and ends within the medial portion of the hand as the superficial palmar arch.

Ligaments connect these bones and a few of these ligaments are prone to injury. The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) ligament is located on the side of the wrist below the small finger and when injured can cause chronic wrist pain. The TFCC ligament is approximately the size of a dime.
