What is the finger called that's between your pinky and middle finger?

"Pinky" is a kind of childish slang word used to differentiate the little finger or fifth finger from the others. this answer just like all of the others was not helpful as none of them where consistent. one result said it derives from a foreign word "pinkje", it is another word for small as well as another result saying that it is just a childs slang for the "little finger"

What sutures are used for septoplasty?

Don't get this procedure done unless you really really need to get it done. I have had this procedure done twice. The first time the doctor fixed my left side, then I am having problems with the right side. So 2 days ago I had the procedure repeated to fix the right side, now my left side is messed up, and the doctor put a splint in when I told him I did not want a splint in my nose. The splint hurts like hell, and he messed up my nose.


What is the finger called between the ring finger and your index finger?

There is a pulse everywhere in you body. Your pulse is the number of times your heart beats in a minute and so if there is no "pulse" in any area of the body it is not receiving blood from the heart and will die pretty quick. There is however not usually a strong enough pulse in the index finger for it to be detectable by human senses (this is why we use the index finger and not the thumb for taking a pulse). There are obvioulsy machines that can sense it and these are used in some forms of polygraph and I believe by psychologists testing levels of stress.

How do you play an E on clarinet?

The lowest E on a clarinet is played with all fingers down and right pinky on the key used to play C in the staff, left pinky on the key used to play B in the staff. The E above that is simply the thumb and index finger of the left hand. The E above that is all fingers of the left hand except the pinky (including the register key) and the index and middle finger of the fight hand. The E above that (3 lines above the staff) is the register key, middle and ring finger of the left hand, and right pinky on the key used to play E flat (on the 3rd space of the staff).


What is the pathway used to innervate a pinky finger?

If you want to move your pinky finger - specifically, to abduct the digiti minimi, first the brain decides to move it. It sends a signal (an action potential) to the alpha motor neuron (that goes down the spinal cord to the ulnar nerve, all the way to the muscle in the finger). The action potential in the neuron causes an action potential in the muscle, which, by excitation-contraction coupling, causes the contraction of the muscle, and thus the movement of the finger.

How long do you need to use a splint if you have a fracture?

A splint is long enough that it will go far enough past the break on both sides to allow you to secure it. Giving an exact measurement isn't a good thing because all splints are different - a splint for a broken finger is quite a bit shorter than a splint for a broken leg.
