Superficial Muscles
Name origin insertion nerve supply and action of Flexor carpi ulnaris
Origin medial epicondyle of humerus medial aspect of olecronon process n posterior border of ulna.
inersertion : Pisiform bone
Nerve supply: ulnar nerve
Action: flexes and adduscts the hand at wrist joint.
Deep muscles
Name the three deep muscles.
Flexor digitorum profundus
Flexor pollicis longus
Pronator quadratus
Deep muscles
Which is the most powerful muscle and provides main gripping power of hand
Flexor digitorum profundus
Deep muscles
Buy is a flexor digitorum profundus known as hybrid muscle
Because the muscle is supplied by two different nerve supply
