Study Notes
Nervous Supply
- The ulnar nerve supplies the flexor carpi ulnaris and the medial part of the flexor digitorum profundus in the forearm.
Muscle Functions
- The pronator teres muscle is responsible for the pronation and flexion of the forearm, facilitating rotation and bending.
Blood Supply
- The radial and ulnar arteries supply blood to the muscles of the forearm, ensuring adequate oxygenation and nutrients.
Superficial Muscles Group
- The superficial group of muscles in the forearm includes muscles such as the flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, and palmaris longus, among others, involved in wrist and finger movements.
Muscle Origin
- The pronator teres muscle originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus, contributing to its function in forearm movements.
