Wrist and hand deeper palmar dissection

Original - The movements of the human hand are accomplished by two sets of each of these tissues. They can be subdivided into two groups: the extrinsic and intrinsic muscle groups. The extrinsic muscle groups are the long flexors and extensors. They are called extrinsic because the muscle belly is located on the forearm. The intrinsic muscle groups are the thenar and hypothenar muscles (thenar referring to the thumb, hypothenar to the small finger), the interossei muscles (between the metacarpal bones, four dorsally and three volarly) and the lumbrical muscles. These muscles arise from the deep flexor (and are special because they have no bony origin) and insert on the dorsal extensor hood mechanism. The intrinsic muscles of hand can be remembered using the mnemonic, "A OF A OF A" for, Abductor pollicis longus, Opponens pollicis, Flexor pollicis brevis, Adductor pollicis (thenar muscles) and Opponens digiti minimi, Flexor digiti minimi, Abductor digiti minimi (hypothenar muscles).

• Comment Hi Wilfredor, without reading deeply into the past, it's probably worth mentioning clearly what has changed since the last nom, which failed. If I remember right, it had to do with sourcing? ❄ upstateNYer ❄ 23:06, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

  • I'm assuming you mean that you had a doctor help you identify the parts. That is good - but we still want at least one verifiable source to back up the diagram. Noodle snacks (talk) 06:01, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

• Oppose I am disappointed that the radial artery and other structures are not labelled at the wrist. References should be easy to find. I am uncertain about what the diagram would be used for. It could be a learning aid, but it would not replace diagrams and photographs in an anatomy atlas. Snowman (talk) 13:58, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
