#myeyesarebleeding

I have to write this down before I forget. I have slaved over this ONE lecture for the whole day.

FOREARM
1. Anterior compartment
(a) Superficial
- pronator teres: pronation. Duh. I can't believe that I had to look that one up.
- flexor carpi radialis
- palmaris longus: accessory flexor of the wrist
- flexor digitorum superficialis
- flexor carpi ulnaris

(b) Deep
- flexor pollucis longus
- flexor digitorum profundus
- pronator quadratus: pronation. The word is turning into pornation. Time to rest my eyes, I think...

2. Posterior compartment
(a) Superficial
- brachioradialis
- extensor carpi radialis longus
- extensor carpi radialis brevis
- extensor digitorum
- extensor digiti minimi
- extensor carpi ulnaris

(b) Deep
- supinator
- extensor pollucis longus
- extensor pollucis brevis
- abductor pollucis longus
- extensor indicis

AAAAARGH.

INTRINSIC MUSCLES OF THE HAND
1. Hypothenar eminence
- opponens digiti minimi
- abductor digiti minmi
- flexor digiti minimi

2. Thenar eminence
- opponens pollucis
- abductor pollucis brevis
- flexor pollucis brevis

3. Lumbricals

4. Palmar and dorsal interossei muscles

5. Adductor pollucis




I have much respect for people who decide to do a BSc in Anatomy. Because right now, I feel like all these muscles have melded into one gigantic Harry Potter-esque spell.
