Flexor digitorum superficialis ( flexor digitorum sublimis) is an extrinsic flexor muscle of the fingers at the proximal interphalangeal joints . It is in the anterior compartment of the forearm. It is sometimes considered to be the deepest part of the superficial layer of this compartment, [1] [2] and sometimes considered to be a distinct ...
The flexor digitorum longus runs along the medial posterior side of the lower leg and aids in flexions of the toes (apart from the big toe). The flexor digitorum longus muscle arises from the posterior surface of the body of the tibia, from immediately below the soleal line to within 7 or 8 cm of its lower extremity, medial to the tibial origin ...
Flexor digitorum profundus is a flexor of the wrist ( midcarpal ), metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints. [1] The lumbricals, intrinsic muscles of the hand, attach to the tendon of flexor digitorum profundus. Thus, the flexor muscle is used to aid the lumbrical muscles in their role as extensors of the interphalangeal joints.
The lumbricals are four, small, worm-like muscles on each hand. These muscles are unusual in that they do not attach to bone. Instead, they attach proximally to the tendons of flexor digitorum profundus, [1] [2] [3] and distally to the extensor expansions.
38500. Anatomical terms of muscle. [ edit on Wikidata] The extensor digitorum muscle (also known as extensor digitorum communis) [2] is a muscle of the posterior forearm present in humans and other animals. It extends the medial four digits of the hand. Extensor digitorum is innervated by the posterior interosseous nerve, which is a branch of ...
The anterior compartment of the forearm (or flexor compartment) [1] contains the following muscles: [2] The muscles are largely involved with flexion and supination. [2] The superficial muscles have their origin on the common flexor tendon. [2] The ulnar nerve and artery are also contained within this compartment. [2]
A 2022 review of more than 80 studies found that taking multivitamins offered “little or no benefit” in preventing cancer, heart disease or death. Does that mean you should toss your ...
A flexor is a muscle that flexes a joint. In anatomy, flexion (from the Latin verb flectere, to bend) [1] is a joint movement that decreases the angle between the bones that converge at the joint. For example, one's elbow joint flexes when one brings their hand closer to the shoulder. Flexion is typically instigated by muscle contraction of a ...
