∙ 8y agoThere are many muscles in the forearm. In the anterior compartment, they are split into three categories; superficial, intermediate and deep. The superficial muscles in the anterior compartment are the flexor carpi ulnaris, palmaris longus, flexor carpi radialis and pronator teres. The flexor digitorum superficialis is the only muscle of the intermediate compartment. There are three muscles in the deep anterior forearm; flexor digitorum profundus, flexor pollicis longus, and pronator quadratus. The first two flex the forearm at the wrist. The last flexes the fingers and thumb.

How does the skeletal and muscular systems work together to raise and lower the forearm?
The biceps and triceps muscles work synergistically; the biceps muscles contracting concentrically and the triceps muscles contracting eccentrically when the forearm lifts, and it's the exact reverse when the forearm lowers.
Why is it easier to flex the forearm when your forearm is supinated rather than pronated?
it is easier to flex the elbow when your forearm is supinated because it is putting less tension on the muscles and ligaments as supposed to in pronated.
What is the action of the flexor carpi radialis muscles?
Function: flexion and radial deviation of the wrist, along with other muscles which flex the wrist and radially deviate the wrist, weak pronation of the forearm along with other muscles which pronate the forearm and weak flexion of the elbow along with other muscles which flex the elbow
When do muscles cause bones to move?
When muscles move, they produce body heat.
What major nerves serve the medial side of the hand?
You have three nerves, which supply your forearm. Radial, ulnar and median nerve. Out of these three nerves, median nerve is the main nerve to supply forearm muscles and some of the hand muscles.
How do your fingers move?

How many muscles to lift a finger?
There are no muscles in the human finger. The muscles that bend the finger are located in the palm and in the mid forearm, and are connected to the finger bones by tendons, which pull on and move the fingers.
What do bicep musceles and tricep muscles work together to do?
The muscles are moving antagonistically.
Which two muscle work in opposite way to make the arm move?
forearm and upper arm muscles.
What major muscles are used in the arm and forearm to draw a bow?
Biceps and forearm muscles are used

Muscles of the forearm?
biceps
What muscles flex and extend the forearm?
Biceps Brachii flexes the forearm and the Triceps Brachii extends the forearm.
Which muscles contract when forearm is flexed at the elbow?
Both the tricep and the bicep are muscles which control rotational movement at the elbow. The bicep contracts when the forearm is flexed, and the tricep contracts when the forearm is extended.
What muscles moves the forearm?
triceps brachii
