nerve of lateral lumboricals? | Median nerve |
nerve of medial lumboricals? | Ulnar nerve |
Origin of lumboricals. | Tendons of flexor digitorum brevis |
Insertion of lumboricals. | Extensors expansion |
Action of lumboricals | Flex at MP joint and extension at DIP and HIP joints |
What is the deepest intrinsic muscles of the hand? | Interossei muscles |
What are the 7 interossei muscles? | -Palmer Interossei (3)
