Can anyone tell me an easy way to remember the hand muscle and cutaneous innervation. I keep thinking I got it down and then qbank blasts me once again. ?

thanks mjl1717, I think I can remembar that. What about the skin?

I don't have any mnemonics but this is how I remember
Cut your hand at ulnar and a half line throw it away to ulnar nerve .(FLEX Little finger will help)
Now look at your 3 1/2 palm it's all median n.
Turn your 3 1/2 dorsal up a dog bite 3 fingers(except thumbs cos it's less prominent) at PIP region >still median n.
Now you have radial n. left
Hope it helps or may be not smiling face
