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.
Anatomical terms of muscle. [ edit on Wikidata] The extensor digitorum muscle (also known as extensor digitorum communis) [ 2 ] is a muscle of the posterior forearm present in humans and other animals. It extends the medial four digits of the hand. Extensor digitorum is innervated by the posterior interosseous nerve, which is a branch of the ...
Anatomical terms of muscle. [ edit on Wikidata] The lumbricals are intrinsic muscles of the hand that flex the metacarpophalangeal joints, [ 1 ] and extend the interphalangeal joints. [ 1 ][ 2 ] The lumbrical muscles of the foot also have a similar action, though they are of less clinical concern.
Flexor carpi ulnaris muscle. Dorsal (left) and ventral (right) views of deep muscles of the left forearm. The flexor carpi ulnaris muscle is in blue. The flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) is a muscle of the forearm that flexes and adducts at the wrist joint.

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 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 ...
