  2. Anterior compartment of the forearm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_compartment_of...

    The muscles are largely involved with flexion and supination. [2] The superficial muscles have their origin on the common flexor tendon. [2] The ulnar nerve and artery are also contained within this compartment. [2] The flexor digitorum superficialis lies in between the other four muscles of the superficial group and the three muscles of the ...

  3. Flexor carpi radialis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexor_carpi_radialis_muscle

    The flexor carpi radialis is one of four muscles in the superficial layer of the anterior compartment of the forearm. This muscle originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus as part of the common flexor tendon. It runs just laterally of flexor digitorum superficialis and inserts on the anterior aspect of the base of the second ...

  4. Brachioradialis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachioradialis

    Despite the bulk of the muscle body being visible from the anterior aspect of the forearm, the brachioradialis is a posterior compartment muscle and consequently is innervated by the radial nerve. [5] Of the muscles that receive innervation from the radial nerve, it is one of only four that receive input directly from the radial nerve.

  6. Forearm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forearm

    The forearm is the region of the upper limb between the elbow and the wrist. [1] The term forearm is used in anatomy to distinguish it from the arm, a word which is used to describe the entire appendage of the upper limb, but which in anatomy, technically, means only the region of the upper arm, whereas the lower "arm" is called the forearm.

  7. Fascial compartments of arm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascial_compartments_of_arm

    The anterior compartment of the arm is also known as the flexor compartment of the arm as its main action is that of flexion. The anterior compartment is one of the two anatomic compartments of the upper arm, the other being the posterior compartment. The compartment contains three muscles; the biceps brachii, the brachialis and the ...

  8. Pronator teres muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronator_teres_muscle

    The median nerve enters the forearm between the two heads of the muscle, and is separated from the ulnar artery by the ulnar head. The muscle passes obliquely across the forearm, and ends in a flat tendon, which is inserted into a rough impression at the middle of the lateral surface of the body of the radius , just distal to the insertion of ...

  9. Muscular branches of ulnar nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_branches_of_ulnar...

    The muscular branches of ulnar nerve are a variety of branches of the ulnar nerve.One supplies the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle (a superficial muscle of the anterior compartment of the forearm), while the other supplies the ulnar half of the flexor digitorum profundus muscle (a deep muscle of the anterior compartment of the forearm).
