Brachioradialis: Function, Innervation, one Relation, one Attachment : "BrachioRadialis":B & R
Function : Its the Beer Raising muscle, flexes elbow, strongest when wrist is oriented like holding a beer.

Innervation: Breaks Rule: it’s a flexor muscle, But Radial. (Radial nerve usually is for extensors: Recall BEST rule: B was for brachioradialis).

Important relation: Behind it is the Radial nerve in the cubital fossa.

Attachment: Attaches to Bottom of Radius.

Abductor digiti minimi

Median nerve : Hand Muscles innervated By Median Nerve : "The LOAF muscles"
Lumbricals 1 and 2
Opponens pollicis
Abductor pollicis brevis
Flexor pollicis brevis
Alternatively: LLOAF, with 2 Ls, to recall there are 2 Lumbricals. To remember that these are the Median nerve muscles, think "Meat LOAF".
