The two major groups are flexors and extensors.
The extrensic muscles of the hand originate from the lateral epicondyle of the humerous
Extrinsic muscles of the hand originate in the antebrachium (forearm).
The forearm muscles are a group of muscles located in the forearm that are responsible for movements of the wrist and fingers. These muscles are important for activities such as gripping, lifting, and twisting. Some of the major forearm muscles include the flexor and extensor muscles.
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.
The extensor carpi muscles are found on the posterior side of the forearm. They are a group of muscles responsible for extending the wrist and moving the hand upward.
The part of the upper limb between the wrist and elbow is called the forearm. It contains two long bones, the radius and ulna, and muscles responsible for moving the wrist, hand, and fingers. The forearm serves as a crucial link in the chain of movement between the hand and the upper arm.
"Forearm" refers to the lower part of your arm, between your elbow and your hand.
The area between the wrist and the elbow is called the forearm. It is composed of two long bones, the radius and ulna, and is responsible for various movements of the hand and wrist. The forearm contains muscles, nerves, and blood vessels that facilitate these functions.
There are approximately 20 muscles in the human arm that control its movements, including muscles in the shoulder, upper arm, forearm, and hand.
The median nerve supplies most of the flexor muscles of the human forearm, and some hand muscles. The ulnar nerve also supplies two flexor muscles, and most of the remaining hand muscles that the median nerve does not cover.
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
Biceps and forearm muscles are used
