The extensor carpi radialis muscle, which consists of two parts—longus and brevis—primarily functions to extend and abduct the wrist. It plays a crucial role in stabilizing the wrist during hand movements and contributes to the overall coordination of the forearm and hand. This muscle is particularly active during actions that involve gripping or lifting objects.

Muscle that extends the elbow?
extensor carpi radialis
Which muscle acts as a synergist to the flexor carpi radialis during abduction of the wrist?
The muscle that acts as a synergist to the flexor carpi radialis during wrist abduction is the extensor carpi radialis longus. Both muscles work together to assist in the movement, with the flexor carpi radialis contributing to wrist flexion and abduction, while the extensor carpi radialis longus helps stabilize and support the wrist during this motion.
What muscles extends and abducts the wrist?
Extension of the wrist is done by both the Extensor Carpi Radialis and the Extensor Carpi Ulnaris muscles, while abduction of the wrist is done by both the Extensor Carpi Radialis and Flexor Carpi Radialis.
What muscles are involved in radial and ulnar deviation?
flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi ulnaris
Extends and abducts the wrist?

Which nerve would service the extensor carpi radialis?
Radial
The muscles on your lower arm are the?
There's more than one: flexor carpi radialis palmaris longus flexor carpi ulnaris pronator teres flexor digitorum superficialis (sublimis) flexor digitorum profundus flexor pollicis longus pronator quadratus brachioradialis extensor carpi radialis longus extensor carpi radialis brevis extensor digitorum (communis) extensor digiti minimi (proprius) extensor carpi ulnaris abductor pollicis longus extensor pollicis brevis extensor pollicis longus extensor indicis (proprius) supinator anconeus
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.
What are the agonist muscle of wrist hypertension?
The agonist muscles responsible for wrist extension (or hypertension) include the extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, and extensor carpi ulnaris. These muscles work together to extend the wrist, allowing for movements such as lifting or pushing. They are primarily innervated by the radial nerve. Additionally, the extensor digitorum can assist in wrist extension during finger movements.
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 muscle is used to extend hand?
They are so many. But main actors are extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis and extensor carpi ulnaris. Others: extensors_digitorum, indicis, digiti minimi, pollicis longus and brevis.
Which of the extensors is one joint muscle?
The extensor that is considered a one-joint muscle is the extensor carpi radialis longus. Unlike other extensors that cross multiple joints, the extensor carpi radialis longus primarily acts on the wrist joint, aiding in wrist extension and abduction. This specificity allows it to play a key role in wrist movements without influencing the elbow joint.
