| musculus flexor digitorum profundus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, anterior surface of upper third of ulna; insertion, by four tendons, piercing those of the superficialis, into base of distal phalanx of each finger; action, flexes distal interphalangeal joint of fingers; nerve supply, ulnar and median (anterior interosseous muscle). Synonym: musculus flexor digitorum profundus, deep flexor muscle of fingers, musculus flexor profundus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| musculus flexor digitorum sublimis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, humeroulnar head from the medial epicondyle of the humerus, the medial border of the coronoid process, and a tendinous arch between these points, radial head from the oblique line and middle third of the lateral border of the radius; insertion, by four split tendons, passing to either side of the profundus tendons, into sides of middle phalanx of each finger; action, flexes proximal interphalangeal joint of the fingers; nerve supply, median. Synonym: musculus flexor digitorum superficialis, musculus flexor digitorum sublimis, musculus flexor sublimis, superficial flexor muscle of fingers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus flexor digitorum superficialis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, humeroulnar head from the medial epicondyle of the humerus, the medial border of the coronoid process, and a tendinous arch between these points, radial head from the oblique line and middle third of the lateral border of the radius; insertion, by four split tendons, passing to either side of the profundus tendons, into sides of middle phalanx of each finger; action, flexes proximal interphalangeal joint of the fingers; nerve supply, median. Synonym: musculus flexor digitorum superficialis, musculus flexor digitorum sublimis, musculus flexor sublimis, superficial flexor muscle of fingers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus flexor pollicis brevis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, superficial portion from flexor retinaculum of wrist, deep portion from ulnar side of first metacarpal bone; insertion, base of proximal phalanx of thumb; action, flexes proximal phalanx of thumb; nerve supply, median (superficial head) and deep branch of ulnar (deep head). Some authors consider the deep head to be the first in a series of four palmar interossei muscles of the hand. Synonym: musculus flexor pollicis brevis, short flexor muscle of thumb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus flexor profundus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, anterior surface of upper third of ulna; insertion, by four tendons, piercing those of the superficialis, into base of distal phalanx of each finger; action, flexes distal interphalangeal joint of fingers; nerve supply, ulnar and median (anterior interosseous muscle). Synonym: musculus flexor digitorum profundus, deep flexor muscle of fingers, musculus flexor profundus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus flexor sublimis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, humeroulnar head from the medial epicondyle of the humerus, the medial border of the coronoid process, and a tendinous arch between these points, radial head from the oblique line and middle third of the lateral border of the radius; insertion, by four split tendons, passing to either side of the profundus tendons, into sides of middle phalanx of each finger; action, flexes proximal interphalangeal joint of the fingers; nerve supply, median. Synonym: musculus flexor digitorum superficialis, musculus flexor digitorum sublimis, musculus flexor sublimis, superficial flexor muscle of fingers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep head of flexor pollicis brevis | The head of short flexor of the thumb that arises from the trapezoid and capitate bones and transverse carpal ligaments. It is innervated by the deep ulner nerve, and considered by many to be the first palmar interosseous muscle. Synonym: caput profundum musculi flexoris pollicis brevis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep part of flexor retinaculum | <anatomy> A strong fibrous band crossing the front of the carpus and binding down the flexor tendons of the digits and the flexor carpi radialis tendon and the median nerve; in so doing it creates the carpal tunnel. Synonym: retinaculum flexorum, deep part of flexor retinaculum, flexor retinaculum, ligamentum carpi transversum, ligamentum carpi volare, volar carpal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flexor | <anatomy> A muscle which bends or flexes any part; as, the flexors of the arm or the hand; opposed to extensor. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| flexor carpi radialis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, common flexor origin of the medial condyle of humerus; insertion, anterior surface of the base of the second and most often sending a slip to that of the third metacarpal bone; action, flexes and abducts wrist radialward; nerve supply, median; its tendon travels in its own canal roofed by a layer of the transverse carpal ligament. Synonym: musculus flexor carpi radialis, radial flexor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flexor carpi ulnaris | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, humeral head from medial condyle of humerus, ulnar head from olecranon and upper three-fifths of posterior border of ulna; insertion, pisiform bone, but is continued to the fifth metacarpal bone via the pisometacarpal ligament; action, flexes and abducts wrist ulnarward; nerve supply, ulnar. Synonym: musculus flexor carpi ulnaris, ulnar flexor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flexor digitorum brevis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, medial tubercle of calcaneus and central portion of plantar fascia; insertion, middle phalanges of four lateral toes by tendons perforated by those of the flexor longus; action, flexes lateral four toes; nerve supply, medial plantar. Synonym: musculus flexor digitorum brevis, musculus flexor brevis digitorum, short flexor muscle of toes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flexor digitorum profundus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, anterior surface of upper third of ulna; insertion, by four tendons, piercing those of the superficialis, into base of distal phalanx of each finger; action, flexes distal interphalangeal joint of fingers; nerve supply, ulnar and median (anterior interosseous muscle). Synonym: musculus flexor digitorum profundus, deep flexor muscle of fingers, musculus flexor profundus. (05 Mar 2000) |
