The index metacarpal is the most firmly fixed, while the thumb metacarpal articulates with the trapezium and acts independently from the others. The middle metacarpals are tightly united to the carpus by intrinsic interlocking bone elements at their bases. The ring metacarpal is somewhat more mobile while the fifth metacarpal is semi ...
The deep muscles arise from the distal part of the ulna and the surrounding interosseous membrane. The brachioradialis , flexor of the elbow , is unusual in that it is located in the posterior compartment, but it is actually a muscle of flexor / anterior compartment of the forearm.
The fifth metacarpal bone (metacarpal bone of the ... On its ulnar side is a prominent tubercle for the insertion of the tendon of the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle.
The muscle is inserted onto the radial sesamoid bone of the metacarpophalangeal joint. It acts to flex, adduct, and abduct the thumb, and is therefore also able to oppose the thumb. The superficial head is innervated by the median nerve , while the deep head is innervated by the ulnar nerve (C8-T1). [ 6 ]
The extensor carpi radialis longus is one of the five main muscles that control movements at the wrist. [1] This muscle is quite long, starting on the lateral side of the humerus, and attaching to the base of the second metacarpal bone (metacarpal of the index finger).
The intrinsic muscle groups are the thenar and hypothenar (little finger) muscles; the interossei muscles (four dorsally and three volarly) originating between the metacarpal bones; and the lumbrical muscles arising from the deep flexor (and which are special because they have no bony origin) to insert on the dorsal extensor hood mechanism.
In human anatomy, the palmar or volar interossei (interossei volares in older literature) are four muscles, one on the thumb that is occasionally missing, and three small, unipennate, central muscles in the hand that lie between the metacarpal bones and are attached to the index, ring, and little fingers.
