- 1Name the 3 primary functions of the muscles of the forearm1) Flexion/extension of the fingers and the whole hand
2) Abduction/adduction of the hand at the wrist, with the wrist bending
3) Supination/pronation - 2Explain why the radius is slightly curve-shapedTo prevent it from fully touching the ulna at full pronation
- 3PronationMovement leading to the forearm/palm facing downwards
- 4SupinationMovement leading to the facing of the palm/forearm upwards
- 5Name the 3 muscles involved in supination/pronation of the arm1) Supinator
2) Pronator teres
3) Pronator quadratus - 6Name all 6 muscles involved in flexion of the forearm1) Flexor pollicis longus
2) Flexor digitorum profundus
3) Flexor digitorum superficialis
4) Flexor carpi radialis
5) Palmaris longus
6) Flexor carpi ulnaris - 7What does the term 'carpi' refer to?The wrist/wrist bones
- 8Name all of the 9 forearm extensors1) Extensor carpi radialis longus

8) Extensor digit minimi
9) Extensor carpi ulnaris - 9State the origin of the flexors of the forearm1) Medial epicondyle
2) Anterior aspects of the ulna/radius/interosseus membrane - 10State the origins of the extensors of the forearm1) Lateral epicondyle

- 12The tendons of the forearm extensors can be divided into 6 different compartments that are formed by connections of the extensor retinaculum with the underlying bones. Name all of the muscles found in each compartement.1) Extensor pollicis brevis, abductor pollicis longus
