I- Lateral surface of midshaft of radius
A- Prontaion of forearm (and hand)
Inn- Median nerve (C6, C7)

2
Q

Palmaris Longus

A

O- Medial epicondyle of humerus (common flexor tendon)
I- Palmar aponeurosis
A- Flexion of hand

3
Q

Flexor carpi radialis

A

O- Medial epicondyle of humerus (common flexor tendon)
I- Base of second metacarpal and possibly third metacarpal
A- Flexion and abduction (radial deviation) of hand
Inn- Median nerve (C6, C7)

4
Q

Flexor carpi ulnaris

A

O- Medial epicondyle of humerus (common flexor tendon); proximal two thirds of posterior surface of ulna
I- Pisiform bone
A- Flexion and adduction (ulnar deviation) of hand
Inn- Ulnar nerve (C8, T1)

5
Q

Flexor digitorum superficialis

A

O- Medial epicondule of humerus (common flexor tendon); medial aspect of coronoid process of ulna; proximal half of radius distal to radial tuberosity
I- Base of middle phalanx of each of four fingers (medial four digits)
A- Flexion of middle phalanx of each of four fingers (medial four digits); with continued action, flexion of each proximal phalanz; aids in flexion of hand

I- Distal phalanx of each of the four fingers (medial four digits)
A- Flexion of distal phalanx of each of the four fingers (medial four digits); with continued action flexion of the middle proximal phanlanges; aids in flexion of hand
Inn- Median and ulnar nerves (C8, T1)

7
Q

A

O- anterior surface of middle half of radius; adjacent interosseous membrane
I- Distal phalanx of thumb
A- Flexion of distal phalanx of thumb
Inn- Median nerve (C8, T1)

8
Q

Pronator quadratus

A

O- Distal fourth of ulna
I- Distal part of radius
A pronation of forearm
Inn- Median nerve
