forearm muscles (anterior) Flashcards
mention the layers of muscles in the forearm
intermediate, deep and superficial
the anterior compartment of the forearm muscles are known as what type of muscles?

pronator teres, flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor carpi radilis and palamaris longus are what layer of muscles?
superficial layer
name the origin of pronator teres
medial epicondyle of the humerus and the coronoid process of ulna
nerve supply of flexor carpi ulnaris
ulnar nerve
insertion of palamaris longus
flexor retinaculum,and palamar apenorosis
origin of flexor carpi ulnaris
medial epicondyle of the humerus and olecranon and the posterior border of ulna
nerve supply of flexor carpi radilis
median nerve
action of pronator teres
pronates and flexes the forearm at the elbow joint
lateral surface of radius is the insertion for what muscle?
pronator teres
radial nerve supplies pronator teres, tre or false?
false,median nerve
origin of flexor carpi radialis
medial epicondyle of the huumerus
action of flexor carpi radialis
flexes and abducts the hand
action of felxor carpi ulnaris
flexes and adducts the hand ( at wrist )
the base of teh second metacarpal is the insertion for ehat muscle
flexor carpi radialis
nerve supply for palmaris longus
median
flexor carpi ulnaris insertion
pisiform bone,hook of hamate bone and the 5th metacrapal
action of palmaris longus
flexes the hand (at wrist( and tightens palmar apenorosis
origin of palmaris longus
medial epicondyle of the humerus
flexor digitoruum superficialis origin
humeroulnar head medial epicondyle of the humerus and the coronoid process of ulna
radial head; superior half of the anterior border of radius
insetion of flexor digitorum superficialis
middle phalanges of didgits 2-5
nerve supply of flexor digitrum super ficilis
median
action of flexor digitorum super
flexes teh wrist joint, flexes the middle phalanges at proximial interphalangeal joints and flexes proximal phalanges at metacarpophalangeal joints
origin of flexor digitorum profundus
medial and anterior border of ulna and interosseous membrane
