The flexor digitorum profundus
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.
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.
The main muscle that flexes the forearm is the biceps brachii.
The extensor digiti minimi extends the minimum digit, ie. it straightens the interphalangeal joints of the pinky finger.
Origin is typically the proximal attachment of a muscle because it is the least moveable. The distal attachment is where a muscle inserts.
