19
Q

Pronators

A
  • pronator teres (more superficial)
  • pronator quadratus (deep)
20
Q

A
  • flex wrist MP joints (knuckles) and/or IP joints
  • most originate from medial epicondyle of humerus
21
Q

Flexor Retinaculum

A
  • band of dense irregular connective tissue to hold flexor tendons close to bone.

  • superficial group
25
Q

Flexor Digitorum Superficialis

A
  • flexes wrist and flexes digits 2 through 5 at the MP and PIP joints (MP=metacarpal-phalangeal PIP=proximal interphalangeal)
  • does not move DIP joint
  • tendons attach to middle phalanges
  • intermediate group
26
Q

Flexor Digitorum Profundus

A
  • flexes wrist and digits 2-5 at the MP, PIP and DIP joints (DIP=distal interphalangeal)
  • tendons attach to distal phalanges
  • deep group
27
Q

Flexor Pollicis Longus

A
  • flexes wrist MP joint, IP joint of thumb
  • deep group
28
Q

Supinator

A
  • supinates forearm
  • biceps brachi supinates too
29
Q

Extensors

A

-extend wrist MP joints and/or IP joints, most originate from lateral epicondyle of humerus

30
Q

Extensor Retinaculum

A
