 M. EXTENSOR CARPI
OBLIQUUS
• = m. abductor digiti I longus
• The tendon of insertion of m. abductor
digiti I longus courses obliquely across :
– m.extensor carpi radialis
– the dorsal surface of the carpus.
Origo : lateral surface of the
distal half radius, cranio lateral
edge of ulna distal to the
proximal interosseus space,

F: extend carpal joint

Insertio : os. metacarpal

COMMUNIS
• consisting of two distinct bellies :
– The lateral belly (extensor digitorum
communis)
– The medial belly (extensor digiti III)

to flex elbow joint

Insertio : digiti IV
 M. EXTENSOR CARPI
ULNARIS
• = ULNARIS LATERALIS
• Although morphologically (position
lateral site) it belongs to the extensor
group, but functionally is flexor

• m. pronator teres
• m. flexor carpi radialis
• m. flexor carpi ulnaris
• m. flexor digitorum

• m. flexor digitorum profundus
 m. pronator
teres
• M.pronator teres is
represented by a narrow
band
• Composed by fibrous
band & just a little of
tendon
m. flexor carpi radialis

• M. flexor carpi radialis lies

along the caudomedial
surface of the forearm.
• retinaculum flexor binds this
tendon to the carpal region.

retinaculum flexor

Retinaculum = tendon are bound to the limb by annular ligaments

m. flexor carpi ulnaris
• The flexor carpi ulnaris is a
wide & very thin muscle
derived from two origins
m. flexor digitorum superfici
To find this muscle we must
to cut m. flexor carpi ulnaris &
m. flexor carpi radialis

• its origin is blended with

m. flexor carpi ulnaris
• It divides into two bellies :
– m. flex. digit. Superficialis
pars superficialis
– m. flex. digit. Superficialis
pars profundus
 m. flex. digit. superficialis pars superficialis

m. flex. digit. superficialis pars profundus

m. flex. digit. Superficialis pars
superficialis
its joins with pars profundus about the
middle of
os.metacarpus
m. flex. digit. Superficialis pars
profundus
It is connected with m. flexor digitorum
profundus by a strong fibrous band
m. flexor digitorum profundus

• m. flexor digitorum
profundus consists of three
heads (caput) :
– Caput humeral  the largest
– Caput radial  the deepest
– Caput ulnar  the most
lateral
