Decks in this class (25)
introduction to the limbs
bones: explain and contrast the basic mechanisms of intramembranous and endochondral bone development; outline the properties of bone, and recall the different types of bone organisation in relation to function; recall the mechanisms of appositional growth of bones, long-bone elongation and bone remodeling. Understand the basic mechanisms involved in bone fracture healing
47
cards
introduction to the limbs
limbs development: describe the early process in limb development that results in the differences in flexion/extension movements between the upper and lower limbs
5
cards
introduction to the limbs
organisation of the limbs: describe the skeletal and regional organisation of the upper and lower limbs, and describe the organisation the neuromuscular compartments of the limbs, and their main innervation, blood supply and functions; describe the basic organisation of the nerve plexuses of the limbs and their importance in understanding the consequences of spinal and peripheral nerve damage
84
cards
introduction to the limbs
important limb clinical issues: understand the basics of important clinical issues relating to limb anatomy including arterial pulses, venepuncture and phlebotomy, venous graft harvest, deep-vein thrombosis, compartment syndrome, musculoskeletal trauma and pathology, neurological pathology
11
cards

pectoral girdle: describe the anatomy of the pectoral girdle, explain the movements of the pectoral girdle; identify the muscles and joints responsible for these movements and list the main attachments and nerve supply of these muscles
62
cards
shoulder and arm
gleno-humeral joint: describe the factors that contribute to the movement and stability of the gleno-humeral joint and explain the functional and clinical consequences of its dislocation
28
cards
shoulder and arm
axilla: describe the boundaries and contents of the axilla, including the major vessels and relevant parts of the brachial plexus
11
cards
shoulder and arm

9
cards
elbow, forearm and wrist
wrist joint: describe the anatomy of the wrist; demonstrate movements at the wrist joints and name and identify the muscle groups responsible for the movements, and explain their innervation; describe the relative positions of the tendons, vessels and nerves in the region of the wrist in relation to injuries
9
cards
the hand
hand organisation: describe the organisation, innervation, blood supply and function of the intrinsic muscles of the hand; digits: describe and demonstrate the movements of the fingers and thumb; describe the position, function and nerve supply of the muscles and tendons involved in these movements, differentiating between those in the forearm and those intrinsic to the hand
140
cards
the hand
carpal tunnel syndrome: describe the position and function of the retinacula of the wrist and the tendon sheaths of the wrist and hand in order to explain carpal tunnel syndrome and the spread of infection in tendon sheaths
5
cards
the hand
grip: describe the main types of grip (power, precision and hook) and the role of the muscles and nerves involved in executing them
7
cards
nerves
brachial plexus: describe the anatomy of the brachial plexus from its origin in the neck to its terminal branches; recognise brachial plexus injuries and explain their clinical presentation
25
cards
nerves
nerves of the upper limb: describe the origin, course and function of the axillary, radial, musculocutaneous, median and ulnar nerves in the upper limb; describe the organisation of the major muscles and muscle groups that these nerves supply and their sensory distribution; explain the consequences of injury to these nerves and explain how to test their functional integrity
47
cards
nerves
dermatomes, myotomes and reflexes: describe the anatomical basis of assessment of: cutaneous sensation in the dermatomes of the upper limb, motor function, tendon reflexes, and muscle power in the upper limb
1
cards
