Research Results For Artery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) The abductor pollicis brevis is one of the muscles forming the thenar eminence, the muscle mass of the thumb. The adductor magnus is a large triangular muscle that forms a dividing wall between the muscles of the inner thigh and those on the back of the thigh. The adductor transversus hallucis (adductor hallucis) is a narrow, flat band of muscle tissue that originates from the medial process of the tuber calcanei, the flexor retinaculum, and the plantar aponeurosis. www.probertencyclopaedia.com /cgi-bin/res.pl?keyword=Artery&offset=0   (1643 words)

Radial artery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia These make their appearance between the medial and lateral insertions of the Adductor pollicis obliquus, and run along the sides of the thumb, forming on the volar surface of the last phalanx an arch, from which branches are distributed to the integument and subcutaneous tissue of the thumb. The arteria volaris indicis radialis (radialis indicis artery) arises close to the preceding, descends between the first Interosseus dorsalis and Adductor pollicis transversus, and runs along the radial side of the index finger to its extremity, where it anastomoses with the proper digital artery, supplying the ulnar side of the finger. It lies upon the carpal extremities of the metacarpal bones and on the Interossei, being covered by the Adductor pollicis obliquus, the Flexor tendons of the fingers, and the Lumbricales. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Radial_artery   (1149 words)

Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. Page 462 The Adductor pollicis (obliquus) (Adductor obliquus pollicis) arises by several slips from the capitate bone, the bases of the second and third metacarpals, the intercarpal ligaments, and the sheath of the tendon of the Flexor carpi radialis. —The Abductor brevis, Opponens, and lateral head of the Flexor pollicis brevis are supplied by the sixth and seventh cervical nerves through the median nerve; the medial head of the Flexor brevis, and the Adductor, by the eighth cervical through the ulnar nerve. The Adductor pollicis is the opponent of this muscle, and approximates the thumb to the palm. www.bartleby.com /107/pages/page462.html   (343 words)

Abstract Collaborations 6   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) The pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship of rocuronium at the laryngeal adductor muscles and the adductor pollicis was determined in eight patients during general anesthesia. The concentration in the effect compartment producing 50% of the maximum effect was significantly greater at the adductor laryngeal muscles (1424 +/- 148 micrograms.L-1) than at the adductor pollicis (823 +/- 157 micrograms.L-1, p = 0.0001). The shorter onset of neuromuscular blockade at the laryngeal muscles than at the adductor pollicis may be explained by a faster transfer rate at the laryngeal adductor muscles neuromuscular junction than at the adductor pollicis neuromuscular junction. www.med.rug.nl /resgrp/abstractcol6.htm   (174 words)

Apparatus and method for the quantitative measurement of the isometric contraction of the adductor pollicis muscle - ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) The output signal from the force transducer is proportional to the force of thumb adduction produced by increased isometric tension in the adductor pollicis muscle evoked by stimulation of the ulnar nerve at the wrist. The adductor pollicis muscle is the only ulnar nerve supplied muscle, so that there is reasonable assurance that the same muscle mass is excited by voluntary and electrical stimulation. According to the invention, the tension developed in an adductor pollicis muscle in response to ulnar nerve stimulation is quantitatively measured. www.freepatentsonline.com:9003 /4236528.html   (5597 words)

Biomechanics of the thumb Rapid flexion of the thumb's IP joint involves the flexor pollicis longus (FPL), and is often accompanied by palpable activity in the abductor pollicis longus. Rapid extension of the thumb's IP joint involves the extensor pollicis longus (EPL), and is often accompanied by palpable activity in the thenar muscles. Activity in the opponens pollicis counters the EPL's tendency to extend the first CMC joint or adduct it in a plane perpendicular to the palm. moon.ouhsc.edu /gsharp/namics/thumb.htm   (294 words)

AAOS On-Line Service Orthopaedic Short Stories - Acute ulnar Collateral Ligament The adductor pollicis inserts on the ulnar sesamoid and the extensor mechanism via the adductor aponeurosis. Adductor aponeurosis interposition may occur only in complete ruptures, and is called Stener's lesion (figure 8).

Linking Hand Biomechanics and Functional Ability after Tetraplegia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Neuroprosthesis user - The subject's typical functional grasp generated 14.8 N of pinch force by stimulation of the adductor pollicis and the flexor pollicis longus; and the subject was able to easily lift the paperweight with this grasp pattern. Comparison of force levels with the adductor pollicis indicates that the abduction force was responsible for causing the slip to occur, and slip was shown to occur between 1.6 and 2.7 N. Distal forces as high as 5.7 N and flexion forces as high as 17.1 N did not produce slip. Stimulation of both abductor pollicis brevis and adductor pollicis simultaneously demonstrated that muscle forces could be combined to increase pinch force and reduce slip. guide.stanford.edu /Projects/03projects/murray2.html   (909 words)

Rapid extension of the thumb's IP joint involves the extensor pollicis longus, and is accompanied by CMC flexion.

Electromyographic response was used to compare the neuromuscular blocking effect of succinylcholine and rocuronium on the laryngeal adductor muscles, the diaphragm, and the adductor pollicis muscle.

Virtual Hospital: Atlas of Human Anatomy in Cross Section: Section 4. Upper Limb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) When four palmer interosseous muscles are described the first palmer interosseous muscle is a division or part of flexor pollicis brevis or adductor pollicis. One origin of adductor pollicis (18) from the third metacarpal bone (17) can be seen. It is of some interest that flexor pollicis brevis is also supplied by the recurrent branch of the first palmer digital ramus of the median nerve as well as by the ulnar nerve. www.vh.org /adult/provider/anatomy/HumanAnatomy/4Section/34.html   (231 words)

[No title] The 3 thenar muscles (muscles of the ball of the thumb) originate from the flexor retinaculum (abductor also arises from the tubercle of the scaphoid) and ridge of the trapezium. Wrong, the answer is A. The median nerve enters the palm through the carpal tunnel just deep to the flexor retinaculum and becomes distributed to 5 muscles (thenar group and 2 lumbricals) and sensory to the lateral 3 and 1/2 digits. The ulnar nerve supplies all the interossei, 3rd and 4th lumbricals, adductor pollicis and usually the deep head of the flexor pollicis brevis. www.kumc.edu /research/medicine/pharmacology/CAI/webCAI/anatomy/an08.wbc   (1333 words)

Intrinsic Muscles of the Hand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) The three thenar muscles produce the thenar eminence and are chiefly responsible for opposition of the thumb (flexion and medial rotation of the thumb when grasping or touching the fingers). The adductor pollicis is not a thenar muscle but is included here because it is functionally related. Unlike the thenar muscles, which are innervated by the recurrent branch of the medial nerve, the adductor pollicis is innervated by the deep branch of the ulnar nerve. info.med.yale.edu /anatomy/notes/upper-limb7-3.html   (317 words)
