Description The flexor digitorum profundus muscle is a deep muscle situated in the forearm. It is one of the muscles responsible for flexing the fingers. The muscle originates from the ulna bone and interosseous membrane in the forearm and passes through the carpal tunnel before dividing into 4 tendons that insert into the distal phalanges…
Description The Flexor Carpi Radialis muscle is a long, narrow muscle located in the forearm, on the thumb side. It originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus and the adjoining ridge of the ulna bone and then travels down the forearm to insert into the base of the second metacarpal bone of the hand….
Description The pronator quadratus muscle is a deep muscle located in the forearm, on the anterior aspect of the distal forearm bones. It is a square-shaped muscle that originates from the anterior surface of the distal quarter of the ulna bone (the medial bone of the forearm) and inserts onto the anterior surface of the…
Description The flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) is a muscle located in the forearm that plays an important role in flexing the fingers. It originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus (upper arm bone) and the coronoid process of the ulna (one of the forearm bones) and runs down the forearm, attaching to the middle…
The arytenoid muscles are a group of small muscles that are located in the larynx, or voice box, which is part of the respiratory system. These muscles attach to the arytenoid cartilages, which are paired cartilages that sit on top of the cricoid cartilage in the larynx. The arytenoid muscles help to control the movements…
Description The brachioradialis muscle is a muscle located in the forearm that acts as a flexor of the elbow joint. It is named for its origin at the brachium, or arm, and its insertion at the radius bone of the forearm. The brachioradialis muscle is a relatively small muscle compared to other muscles in the…
Description The pronator teres muscle is a muscle located in the forearm that plays a role in pronation (inward rotation) of the forearm. It is one of two pronator muscles in the forearm, the other being the pronator quadratus muscle. Structure of pronator teres muscle Origin of pronator teres muscle Insertion of pronator teres muscle…
Description The coracobrachialis muscle is a small muscle located in the upper medial part of the arm. It originates from the coracoid process of the scapula (shoulder blade) and inserts into the middle of the humerus bone (upper arm bone). Structure of coracobrachialis muscle Origin of the coracobrachialis muscle Insertion coracobrachialis muscle Nerve supply of…
Description The flexor carpi ulnaris muscle (FCU) is a muscle located in the forearm that helps in the movement of the wrist and hand. It is one of the muscles that are responsible for flexing the wrist and adducting the hand towards the ulnar side of the forearm (the side where the little finger is…
