Extensor Digitorum
|
Origin: Common extensor tendon from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and deep antebrachial fascia
Insertion: By four tendons, each penetrating a membraneous expansion on the dorsum of the second through fifth digits and dividing over the proximal phalanx into a medial and two lateral bands. The medial band inserts into the base of the middle phalanx; the lateral bands reunite over the middle phalanx and insert into the base of the distal phalanx. A: Extends the metacarpophalangeal joints, and in conjunction with the lumbricales and interossei, extends the interphalangeal joints of the second through fifth digits. Assists in abduction of the index, ring, and little fingers and in extension and abduction of the wrist. N: Radial, C6,7,8 |

Lumbricales
|
O: First and second: Radial surface of the flexor profundus tendons of the index and middle fingers, respectively
Third: Adjacent sides of the flexor profundus tendons of the middle and ring fingers Fourth: Adjacent sides of the flexor profundus tendons of the ring and little finger I: Into the radial border of the extensor expansion on the dorsum of the respective digits A: Extend the interphalangeal joints and simultaneously flex the metacarpophalangeal joints of the second through fifth digits. The lumbricales also extend the interphalangeal joints when the metacarpophalangeal joints are extended. As the fingers are extended at all joints, the flexor digitorum profundus tendons offer a form of passive resistance to this movement. Because the lumbricales are attached to the flexor profundus tendons, they can diminish this resistive tension by contracting and pulling these tendons distally, and this release of tension decreases the contractile force needed by the muscles that extend the finger joint.
