This picture shows the anterior & medial view of the forearm. This makes all of these muscles FLEXORS! Label the following muscles. (Hint: think Pass, fail, pass, fail- start on the thumb side and move medially)

• C

• Flexor carpi ulnaris

• B

• Flexor carpi radialis

• A

• Pronator teres

• D

• Palmaris longus

This shows 2 of the deeper flexor muscles. Muscle E is just deeper than the palmaris longus. Muscle E is the ​ ​ (a)   . Muscle F is the deepest of all the flexor muscles and is called the ​ (b)  

• flexor digitorum superficialis
• flexor digitorum profundus
• flexor digitorum superior
• flexor digitorum inferior

The brachioradialis is a large significant extensor muscle on the posterior side of the forearm. Which of the letters shown indicates the brachioradialis?

• C

• D

• G

• H

If you can locate the brachioradialis, then naming the extensor muscles moving laterally from there is easy. Just remember LBLB! Can you match the extensors with the correct letter?

• G

• Extensor pollicis Brevis

• H

• Extensor carpi radialis

  Brevis

• B or J

• Brachioradialis

• A or I

• Abductor pollicis Longus

• C

• Extensor carpis radialis Longus

This picture shows the posterior aspect of the forearm. There are 3 extensor muscles running down the back of the forearm. Muscle D is the ​ . (a)   . Moving toward the pinky, the next muscle (E) is the ​ (b)   and finally Muscle F is the ​ (c)  

• extensor digitorum
• Extensor Digiti Minimi
• extensor carpi ulnaris
• brachioradialis
• extensor carpi radialis
