  2. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location

    The ventral (from Latin venter 'belly') surface refers to the front, or lower side, of an organism. [38] For example, in a fish, the pectoral fins are dorsal to the anal fin, but ventral to the dorsal fin. The terms are used in other contexts; for example dorsal and ventral gun turrets on a bomber aircraft.

  4. Muscles of the thumb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_the_thumb

    A ventral forearm muscle, the flexor pollicis longus originates on the anterior side of the radius distal to the radial tuberosity and from the interosseous membrane. It passes through the carpal tunnel in a separate tendon sheath, after which it lies between the heads of the flexor pollicis brevis. It finally attaches onto the base of the ...

  5. Flexor digitorum profundus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexor_digitorum_profundus...

    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 quadratus, and flexor digitorum profundus form the deep layer of ventral forearm muscles. [2] The muscle is named from Latin 'deep bender of the fingers'.

  6. Anterior compartment of the forearm - Wikipedia

    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 brachial region encompassing the upper arm, the olecranal region encompassing the back of the elbow, the antebrachial region encompasses the forearm, front and back; and the manual or manus region encompassing the back of the hand. The posterior regions of the legs, from superior to inferior, include the gluteal region encompassing the ...

  8. Upper limb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_limb

    Most of the large number of muscles in the forearm are divided into the wrist, hand, and finger extensors on the dorsal side (back of hand) and the ditto flexors in the superficial layers on the ventral side (side of palm). These muscles are attached to either the lateral or medial epicondyle of the humerus. They thus act on the elbow, but ...

  9. Medial cutaneous nerve of forearm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_cutaneous_nerve_of...

    The medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm (also known as the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve) is a sensory branch of the medial cord of the brachial plexus derived from the ventral rami of spinal nerves C8-T1. It provides sensory innervation to the skin of the medial forearm and skin overlying the olecranon.
