| FPB | femoral popliteal bypass; fibrino-peptide B; flexor pollicis brevis |
| musculus palmaris longus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, medial epicondyle of humerus; insertion, flexor retinaculum of wrist and palmar fascia; action, makes palmar fascia tense and flexes the hand and forearm; is absent about 20% of the time; when tensed, its tendon stands out sharply at the wrist and overlies the median nerve; nerve supply, median. Synonym: musculus palmaris longus, long palmar muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| musculus peroneus longus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, upper two-thirds of outer surface of fibula and lateral condyle of tibia; insertion, by tendon passing behind lateral malleolus and across sole of foot to medial cuneiform and base of first metatarsal; action, plantar flexes and everts foot; nerve supply, superficial peroneal. Synonym: musculus fibularis longus, musculus peroneus longus, long fibular muscle, long peroneal muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus supinator longus | An obsolete and inaccurate term for brachioradialis muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus ciliaris longus | <anatomy, nerve> One of two or three branches of the nasociliary nerve, which by-pass the ciliary ganglion, supplying post-synaptic sympathetic fibres for the dilator pupillae muscle and sensory fibres for the ciliary muscles, iris, and cornea. Synonym: nervus ciliaris longus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nervus thoracicus longus | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the fifth, sixth, and seventh cervical nerves (roots of brachial plexus), descends the neck behind the brachial plexus, and is distributed to the serratus anterior muscle; it is somewhat unusual in that it courses on the superficial aspect of the muscle is supplies; its paralysis results in "winged scapula". Synonym: nervus thoracicus longus, Bell's respiratory nerve, external respiratory nerve of Bell, posterior thoracic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon sheath of abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis muscles | The synovial sheath lining the compartment of the extensor retinaculum that contains the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons. Synonym: vagina tendinum musculorum abductoris longi et extensoris brevis pollicis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon sheath of extensor hallucis longus muscle | <anatomy> The synovial sheath that surrounds the tendon of the extensor hallucis longus in its passage across the ankle. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi extensoris hallucis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tendon sheath of extensor pollicis longus muscle | <anatomy> The synovial sheath surrounding the extensor pollicis longus tendon in its passage deep to the extensor retinaculum. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi extensoris pollicis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extensor carpi radialis longus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral supracondylar ridge of humerus; insertion, back of base of second metacarpal bone; action, extends and deviates wrist radialward; nerve supply, radial. Synonym: musculus extensor carpi radialis longus, long radial extensor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extensor hallucis longus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral surface of tibia and interosseous membrane; insertion, base of distal phalanx of great toe; action, extends the great toe; nerve supply, anterior tibial. Synonym: musculus extensor hallucis longus, long extensor muscle of great toe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extensor pollicis longus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, posterior surface of ulna; insertion, base of distal phalanx of thumb; action, extends distal phalanx of thumb; nerve supply, radial. Synonym: musculus extensor pollicis longus, long extensor muscle of thumb, musculus extensor longus pollicis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longus capitis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, anterior tubercles of transverse processes of third to sixth cervical vertebrae; insertion, basilar process of occipital bone; action, twists or flexes neck anteriorly; nerve supply, cervical plexus. Synonym: musculus longus capitis, long muscle of head, musculus rectus capitis anticus major. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longus colli muscle | <anatomy> Medial part: origin, the bodies of the third thoracic to the fifth cervical vertebrae; insertion, the bodies of the second to fourth cervical vertebrae; superolateral part: origin, the anterior tubercles of the transverse processes of the third to fifth cervical vertebrae; insertion, the anterior tubercle of the atlas; inferolateral part: origin, the bodies of the first to third thoracic vertebrae; insertion, the anterior tubercles of the transverse processes of the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae; action, for all three parts, twist neck and flex neck anteriorly; nerve supply, for all three parts, ventral primary rami of cervical spinal nerves (cervical plexus). Synonym: musculus longus colli, long muscle of neck. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory flexor muscle of foot | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, by two heads from the lateral and medial borders of the inferior surface of the calcaneus; insertion, tendons of flexor digitorum longus; action, assists long flexor; nerve supply, lateral plantar. Synonym: musculus flexor accessorius, musculus quadratus plantae, accessory flexor muscle of foot, caro quadrata sylvii, musculus pronator pedis, plantar quadrate muscle, quadrate muscle of sole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antebrachial flexor retinaculum | Thickening of distal antebrachial fascia just proximal to radiocarpal (wrist) joint. Continuous with extensor retinaculum at margins of forearm. This structure is distinct from the transverse carpal ligament, commonly called "the flexor retinaculum," which forms the roof of the carpal tunnel. Synonym: flexor retinaculum of forearm, palmar carpal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
