Power wrist flexor and abductor?

The power wrist flexors are the muscles responsible for bending the wrist, including the flexor carpi radialis and flexor carpi ulnaris. The wrist abductors refer to the muscles that move the wrist away from the midline of the body, including the abductor pollicis longus and the extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis. Strengthening these muscles can enhance grip strength and wrist stability for activities involving the hands and wrists.


What muscles are attached to the carpals?

Various muscles in the forearm and hand are attached to the carpals. These include muscles like the flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, and others. These muscles help with movements of the wrist and fingers.


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.


Which muscle was named for its action?

levator labii superioris ----------- There are actually several muscles named for their actions, levator scapuli is another. Others are named for their location, brachioradialis, or their length or shape, rhomboids, etc.
