What is the wrist flexor that follows the ulna?
The wrist flexor that follows the ulna is the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle. It originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus and inserts on the pisiform and the hamate bones of the wrist. Its primary function is wrist flexion and ulnar deviation.
What is the agonist and antagonist muscle pair in the wrist?
The agonist muscle for wrist flexion is the flexor carpi radialis, while the antagonist muscle is the extensor carpi radialis longus. These muscles work in opposition to produce movement at the wrist joint.
How the flexor and extensor work together to move the lower wing and bend the joint between the upper and lower wing?
The flexor muscle contracts and shortens to bend the joint, moving the lower wing up towards the upper wing. The extensor muscle then relaxes to allow this movement. The coordinated action of the flexor and extensor muscles allows for controlled movement of the wings.

Stretching regularly and gradually increasing the intensity can help improve flexibility in the flexor hallucis longus muscle.
