Anterior Forearm Muscles Flashcards
Pronator Teres Origin
Humeral Head: Medial Epicondyle of the humerus with the adjacent portion of the supracondylar ridge through the common flexor tendon (CFT
Ulnar Head: Medial margin of the coronoid process of the ulna
Pronator Teres Insertion
Lateral surface of the radius, mid shaft
Pronator Teres Innervation
Median nerve (C6/C7)
Pronator Teres Action
Forearm pronation, Forarm flexion (weak)
Flexor Carpi Radialis Origin
Medial epicondyle of the humerus through the common flexor tendon (CFT)
Flexor Carpi Radialis Insertion
Base of 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones (palmar side)
Flexor Carpi Radialis Innervation
Medial Nerve (C6/C7)
Flexor Carpi Radialis Action:
Wrist flexion, radial deviation (wrist abduction)
Palmaris Longus Origin
Medial Epicondyle of humerus through common flexor tendon (CFT)
Palmaris Longus Insertion
Palmar aponeurosis
Palmaris Longus Innervation
Median Nerve (C7/C8)
Palmaris Longus Action
