2.1.9.50 Muscles of the Arm (continued)
The arm and hand muscles are most commonly transcribed in radiology (x-ray) reports, orthopedics (especially operative notes) and physical therapy, although as with other terms, they might turn up virtually anywhere. It is important for you to begin to recognize the terms for the muscles associated with the hand, which indicate position and movement, as well as more basic body location: supinate, pronate, flex, extend, digits, pollex, for example. The more you understand what you are transcribing, the more accurate and professional your work will eventually be. Lucky for you, you do not have to memorize exactly what each one of these muscles does. Located below are a few of the muscles which are located beneath the muscles shown in the previous figure "Superficial Muscles of the Arm."Listed below are a few of the muscles which are located beneath the muscles shown in Figure 2.6.

2.0.0.47 Superficial Muscles of the Arm
"Thenar" is a term which refers to the "mound on the palm at the base of the thumb" and also "pertaining to the palm." The terms "hypothenar" and "thenar" muscles describe simply the location of the muscles and are not the name of individual muscles. You should be able to recognize several muscle names in the arm which are descriptive, e.g., terms such as longus and brevis (long and short) and radialis and ulnaris (for the radius and ulna bones). Also, some of these muscles should be easy because they are so commonly known e.g., the biceps and triceps. Note the term flexor retinaculum. A retinaculum (plural: retinacula) is a structure which holds an organ or tissue in place. (In surgery, it is also used to describe an instrument which retracts tissues.) As with the aponeurosis, this is not a muscle. It is, however, a significant structure of the arm, and it is important in the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, you should memorize its spelling and be able to recognize it when you hear it dictated. It may be helpful to start looking for consistencies in the spelling of muscle terms that would make it easier to remember how to spell them. For example, the bones of the forearm are the radius and ulna. The muscles which attach to these bones are named for them, i.e. radialis, ulnaris, and brachioradialis. All of these terms end in "is." Look for these similarities and use them as tools for learning the terms. You will discover that many muscles (although not all of them) end in "is." It may be easier to learn the exceptions than to memorize each individual term. Of course, if you happened to study Latin along the way, these terms will be simple to learn. Another feature of muscle terms is that some of them end in "s," but are not plural. There is no such word as bicep or tricep. The actual definitions for biceps and triceps are literally muscles with two and three heads, respectively. When speaking about these muscles and transcribing them, it should always be biceps and triceps, even in the singular. These are primarily the superficial muscles of the arm. There are other muscles (besides the coracobrachialis and the brachialis) which are located deep in relation to the ones on Figure 2.6. Many of them are identified by terms similar to those listed on the figure. Direct your attention to the term pollicis. This is derived from the word pollex which means the first digit of the hand (or for lay-people, the thumb.) The muscles which act to move the thumb contain the term pollicis. In addition to the abductor pollicis brevis there is an adductor pollicis, an extensor pollicis, and so on. If you can remember that pollex means thumb, you can be sure to use pollicis in reference to certain muscles in the hand. When you learn the muscles of the leg you will see the term hallux, which is the great toe (or more commonly, the big toe.) Muscles which act to move the big toe are denoted by the term hallucis which is derived from hallux. As with carpals/metacarpals and tarsals/metatarsals, it is easy to confuse the terms hallux and pollex (and likewise hallucis and pollicis). Learn the root terms, and it will be easier to delineate between the two words and be certain you are using the right one. List the 11 muscles of the arm and the 1 that is not a muscle.I swear this course is going to drive me nuts just had to type this. There are 2 3's on the figure 2.6 one is 3.hypothenar muscles(which is not a muscle) and 3. flexor digitorum superficialis(which is a muscle)Hypothenar and thenar muscles simply describe the location of the muscles. So make it 11 muscles and 2 that are not muscles. |
