AIPGMEE 2015

Which one of the following intrinsic hand muscles is
supplied by the median nerve?


Lateral two interossei
Abductor pollicis brevis 
Medial two lumbricales
Flexor pollicis longus
Extensor pollicis

The median nerve supplies the following structures in
the hand:
The abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis,
opponens pollicis
The lateral two lumbricales
The skin of the lateral three and half fingers
The flexor pollicis longus is also supplied by the median
nerve but is not one of the intrinsic hand muscles, being
located in the forearm with its main action being thumb
flexion.
The ulnar nerve supplies all the interossei and the rest
of the hand muscles.
