  2. Muscles of the hand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_the_hand

    The muscles of the hand can be subdivided into two groups: the extrinsic and intrinsic muscle groups. The extrinsic muscle groups are the long flexors and extensors. They are called extrinsic because the muscle belly is located on the forearm. The intrinsic group are the smaller muscles located within the hand itself. The muscles of the hand ...

    On the back of the hand, the ED tendons diverge to follow the fingers and the EI tendon joins the ulnar side of one of the ED tendons along the back of the index finger. The EDM takes a similar course as the EI except it follows the ED tendon along the little finger. The ECU crosses from the lateral to the medial side of the forearm.

    The muscle fans out into four tendons (one to each of the second to fifth fingers) to the palmar base of the distal phalanx. [ 3 ] Along with the flexor digitorum superficialis , it has long tendons that run down the arm and through the carpal tunnel and attach to the palmar side of the phalanges of the fingers.

  5. Dorsal interossei of the hand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_interossei_of_the_hand

    Each finger is provided with two interossei (palmar or dorsal), with the exception of the little finger, in which the abductor digiti minimi muscle takes the place of one of the dorsal interossei. [2] The first dorsal interosseous muscle is larger than the others. Between its two heads, the radial artery passes from the back of the hand into ...

    Muscles of the fingers can be subdivided into extrinsic and intrinsic muscles. The extrinsic muscles are the long flexors and extensors. They are called extrinsic because the muscle belly is located on the forearm. The fingers have two long flexors, located on the underside of the forearm. They insert by tendons to the phalanges of the fingers.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensor_digitorum_muscle

    The tendon to the index finger is accompanied by the tendon of extensor indicis, which lies on its ulnar side. On the back of the hand, the tendons to the middle, ring, and little fingers are connected by two obliquely placed bands, one from the third tendon passing inferior and laterally to the second tendon, and the other passing from the ...

  9. Extensor indicis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensor_indicis_muscle

    Split tendons of the muscle inserting on both ulnar and the radial side of the common extensor digitorum was also reported. [ 2 ] Anomalous hand extensors including the extensor medii proprius and the extensor indicis et medii communis are often seen as variations of the extensor indicis [ 2 ] due to the shared characteristics and embryonic origin.
