If you are studying A&P using the Marieb & Mitchell 10th Ed the answer you are looking for is: Extensor carpi radialis longus (d) (found on page 216 in the Lab Manual)
Extensor Carpi Ulnaris <--Correct answer. Read below:
The first entry above is incorrect. The second answer (extensor carpi ulnaris) is correct. Read the question carefully: aDduct vs. aBduct. I teach from the Marieb & Hoehn 8th edition book, which confirms the second (correct) answer on p. 356, Table 10.11. Also, remember to answer the question assuming the body is in anatomical position, which places the ECU more medial than the ECR. Logic should lead one to the realization that contraction of the ECU muscle will move the wrist medially (aDduction). Likewise, contraction of the ECR (both longus and brevis) will move the wrist laterally (aBduction).

∙ 13y agoflexor carpi radialis flexes and radially deviates. extensor carpi radialis extends and radially deviates. when they contract together, they radially deviate. its the same with flexor and extensor ulnaris- when they contract together they perform ulnar deviation. these actions abduct and adduct the wrist by canceling each other out.
all flexor muscles flex the wrist. these include flexor carpi radialus, flexor carpi ulnaris pronotar teres, flexor digitorum...superficilis

Extends and adducts wrist?
Extensor carpi ulnaris
What corresponding muscle does leg raises go to?
Abductor muscle - moves a limb away from the midlineAdductor muscle - moves a limb towards the midlineExtensor muscle - increase the angle at a joint - extends a limbFlexor muscle - decreases the angle at a joint - flexes a limbPronator muscle - turns a limb to face downwardsSupinator muscle - turns a limb to face upwardsRotator muscle - rotates a limbIn the human body, these are the responsible muscles.*Muscles which move the thigh and their action*Gluteus maximus - Extends and rotates thigh laterally.Adductor longus - Adducts, medially rotates and flexes the thighAdductor brevis - Adducts, laterally rotates and flexes the thighAdductor magnus - Adducts, flexes, laterally rotates and extends the thigh.Rectus femoris - Extends knee and flexes hipVastus lateralis - Extends kneeVastus medialis - Extends kneeVastus intermedius - Extends kneeSartorius - Flexes knee. Flexes hip and rotates femur laterallyBiceps femoris - Flexes leg and extends thighSemitendinosus - Flexes leg and extends thighSemimembranosus - Flexes leg and extends thigh
Extends adducts and rotates arm medially?
subscapularis
What is the action of the quadriceps muscle group?
Flexing the thigh, extending the leg, adducts leg
What muscle flexes and adducts arm at the shoulder?
which shoulder muscle allows you to adduct your arm
What is thwe muscle found in the chest that adducts the arm?
The pectorals major
What does it mean when the term levator is part of the descriptive term for a muscle's action?
The muscle elevates and/or adducts a region.
Muscle that adducts the shoulder and causes extension of the shoulder joints?
latissimus dorsi
What Muscle adducts and rotates the scapula laterally?
Name of the muscle is trapezious. It has an extensive origin from spines of verebral column.
Function of coracobrachialis?
This muscle flexes and adducts the humerus. It is also a synergist of the pectoralis major
Extends the wrist and digits?
extensor digitorum
What muscle is the antagonist during extension of forearm?
The flexor carpi radialis is the agonist muscle in wrist flexion. This muscle, know as a wrist flexor, is located in the forearm.
