FDP is shown in blue. The flexor digitorum profundus or flexor digitorum communis profundus[1] is a muscle in the forearm of humans that flexes the fingers (also known as digits). It is considered an extrinsic hand muscle because it acts on the hand while its muscle belly is located in the forearm. Together the flexor pollicis longus, pronator ...
Transverse section across distal ends of radius and ulna. (Flexor dig. subliminis labeled at center top.) Flexor digitorum superficialis (flexor digitorum sublimis) or flexor digitorum communis sublimis[1] is an extrinsic flexor muscle of the fingers at the proximal interphalangeal joints. It is in the anterior compartment of the forearm.
t. e. Motion, the process of movement, is described using specific anatomical terms. Motion includes movement of organs, joints, limbs, and specific sections of the body. The terminology used describes this motion according to its direction relative to the anatomical position of the body parts involved. Anatomists and others use a unified set ...

Appearance. Flexor carpi ulnaris. Dorsal (left) and ventral (right) views of deep muscles of the left forearm. The flexor carpi ulnaris muscle is in blue. Details. Origin. Medial epicondyle (common flexor tendon) and medial margin on olecranon of ulna. Insertion. Pisiform, hook of the hamate, base of the fifth metacarpal bone (volar aspect)
Skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle, or "voluntary muscle", is a striated muscle tissue that primarily joins to bone with tendons. Skeletal muscle enables movement of bones, and maintains posture. [ 1 ] The widest part of a muscle that pulls on the tendons is known as the belly.
In human anatomy, the abductor digiti minimi (abductor minimi digiti, abductor digiti quinti, ADM) is a skeletal muscle situated on the ulnar border of the palm of the hand. It forms the ulnar border of the palm and its spindle-like shape defines the hypothenar eminence of the palm together with the skin, connective tissue, and fat surrounding ...
The skeletal section of the head and neck forms the top part of the axial skeleton and is made up of the skull, hyoid bone, auditory ossicles, and cervical spine. The skull can be further subdivided into: the cranium (8 bones: frontal, 2-parietal, occipital, 2-temporal, sphenoid, ethmoid), and.
