The muscles that flex and extend your finger are not as large as those in your leg. As a result, the biochemical processes that cause muscles to flex are limited. Trying to exert leg-force with your hands is a bit like using a moped to haul a boat.

Are there muscles in the finger?

Visually speaking, no you cannot. There are only tendons in the fingers, so it is impossible to have 'muscular' fingers per se. It is possible to have very strong fingers/grip, but this comes from forearm strength, not from finger strength.


Why are the muscles of the finger don't develop as much force as the muscles of the leg?

1. Muscles fibers with a large diameter develop more force, and have more myofibrils and more myosin heads that can attach to actin. The amount of force is dependent on the number of myosin heads attached to actin.

Muscles move bones only by contraction.

Both work by a series of shortenings of the fibers inside the muscles.

What are finger extensors for?

Finger extensors are muscles that are responsible for straightening or extending the fingers away from the palm. They work in opposition to the finger flexor muscles, allowing for a range of motion and dexterity in the hand. Strengthening these muscles is important for activities that require gripping or holding objects.
