Study Notes
Forearm Muscles and Nerve Supply
- The ulnar nerve supplies the flexor carpi ulnaris and the medial part of the flexor digitorum profundus in the forearm.
Blood Supply to Forearm Muscles
- The ulnar artery provides blood supply to the muscles of the forearm.
Forearm Muscle Function
- The anterior compartment of the forearm, specifically the pronator teres and pronator quadratus muscles, is responsible for pronation and flexion of the forearm.
Wrist Joint Movement
- The flexor carpi radialis muscle flexes and abducts the hand at the wrist joint.
Origin of Pronator Teres Muscle
- The pronator teres muscle originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus and the coronoid process of the ulna in the forearm.
