The anterior forearm muscle does not actually exist. Instead, there are a total of eight different muscles with the anterior compartment of the forearm. Their jobs are specifically related to flexion and pronation, or inward rotation of the hand.
Flexion and extension of the forearm.
Flexion when you pull your forearm towards your body and extension when you extend it away from your body.
To rotate the forearm (supination), and for flexion and extension of the elbow.
The flexor carpi radialis is the agonist muscle in wrist flexion. This muscle, know as a wrist flexor, is located in the forearm.
FLEXORSBiceps brachia- Primarily forearm supination, but also functions in elbow flexion, shoulder flexion, and shoulder adductionChoracobrachialis- Shoulder flexion, shoulder adductionBrachialis- Elbow flexionEXTENSORSTriceps Brachii- Powers elbow extension
Elbow flexion, shoulder flexion and supination of the forearm.
Elbow flexion, shoulder flexion and supination of the forearm.
Extension of the forearm at the elbow joint is achieved almost entirely by the triceps brachii but extension of the arm, which actually takes place at the shoulder joint, is achieved by muscles on the back, such as the latissimus dorsi.
Third order
Flexion
Flexion causes the angle of the elbow to decrease because you are moving your forearm closer to your bisep therefore the angle decreses. Extension is making the angle bigger for example, straightening you arm, you are extending your arm so that is where the term comes from
Yes. Supination is the movement of the forearm in which the palm of the hand is turned from posterior to anterior.
