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 is a finger flexion?
The primary muscle responsible for finger flexion is the flexor digitorum profundus, which flexes the distal joints of the fingers. Additionally, the flexor digitorum superficialis assists in flexing the proximal joints. These muscles work together to allow for the bending of the fingers, enabling grasping and gripping actions.
Which is the main muscle that flexes the forearm?
The main muscle that flexes the forearm is the biceps brachii.
If Mini-you were using his extensor digiti minimi muscle what part of his body could he extend to the corner of his mouth?
The extensor digiti minimi extends the minimum digit, ie. it straightens the interphalangeal joints of the pinky finger.
Is the distal attachment of a muscle the origin?
Origin is typically the proximal attachment of a muscle because it is the least moveable. The distal attachment is where a muscle inserts.

What corresponding muscle does leg raises go to?
Abductor muscle - moves a limb away from the midlineAdductor muscle - moves a limb towards the midlineExtensor muscle - increase the angle at a joint - extends a limbFlexor muscle - decreases the angle at a joint - flexes a limbPronator muscle - turns a limb to face downwardsSupinator muscle - turns a limb to face upwardsRotator muscle - rotates a limbIn the human body, these are the responsible muscles.*Muscles which move the thigh and their action*Gluteus maximus - Extends and rotates thigh laterally.Adductor longus - Adducts, medially rotates and flexes the thighAdductor brevis - Adducts, laterally rotates and flexes the thighAdductor magnus - Adducts, flexes, laterally rotates and extends the thigh.Rectus femoris - Extends knee and flexes hipVastus lateralis - Extends kneeVastus medialis - Extends kneeVastus intermedius - Extends kneeSartorius - Flexes knee. Flexes hip and rotates femur laterallyBiceps femoris - Flexes leg and extends thighSemitendinosus - Flexes leg and extends thighSemimembranosus - Flexes leg and extends thigh
What is shunt muscle?
A skeletal muscle with its proximal attachments near the joint or joints at which it acts, and its distal attachments at some distance from the joints, so that the greater part of its force is directed along the bones, tending to pull joint surfaces together. This makes shunt muscles good stabilizers.
Is brachialis a muscle in the arm?
The brachialis is a muscle in the upper arm that flexes the elbow joint.
