Document Summary

Inferior of glenoid cavity olecranon process- opposite end of ulna head. Styloid process of radius- opposite end of head. Palmaris longus: extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis thumb side, extensor. Radial head by the elbow, ulna head at other end by wrist. Under forearm: (thumb side) brachioradialis- flexor carpi radialis- palmaris longus- flexor carpi ulnaris (pinky side) Above forearm: (pinky side) flexor carpi ulnaris- extensor carpi ulnaris- extensor digitorum- extensor carpi radialis longus. Thigh anterior: (left to right) vastus lateralis- vastus intermedius- vastus medialis [rectus femoris on top of v. Plantar flexes foot (move foot up and down) All muscles exert their force by pulling between at least two points of attachment. The movement that results from contraction is called the action of the muscle. Typically, one attachment remains stationary and is called the origin and the other attachment moves and is called the insertion.
