Distal attachment = lateral surface of distal end of radius, proximal to styloid process
Innervated by radial n. proper

Flexor of the elbow only
*does NOT cross the radiocarpal (wrist) joint

17
Q

Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus

A

Proximal attachment = lateral supraepicondylar ridge of humerus
Distal attachment = dorsal aspect of 2nd metacarpal
Innervated by radial n. proper

Extends hand and abducts hand on radial side at the wrist joint
Contributes to flexion of elbow

18
