What muscle flexes the distal interphalangeal joints?
The flexor digitorum profundus
The only muscle capable of flexing the distal interphalangeal joints?
The only muscle capable of flexing the distal interphalangeal joints is the flexor digitorum profundus. This muscle originates from the ulna and interosseous membrane in the forearm and inserts on the distal phalanges of the fingers. It is responsible for flexing the distal interphalangeal joints while the flexor digitorum superficialis flexes the proximal interphalangeal joints.
What muscle close a fist?
The muscles responsible for closing the fist are the flexor muscles located in the forearm.
