The document discusses the muscles that move the forearm and hand. It describes 13 muscles that flex and extend the elbow and wrist, including the biceps brachii, triceps brachii, brachialis, and various flexor and extensor carpi muscles. It also mentions muscles like the pronator teres and supinator that rotate the radius bone of the forearm. Finally, it notes there are additional intrinsic hand muscles that help move the fingers.

















Initial slide introduces the presentation with a prompt to download and access more slides.
Slides present figures (11-16a, b) depicting muscles involved in forearm and hand movement.
Discusses major muscles like biceps brachii and triceps brachii; origins on the humerus, and their effect on 3D rotation.
Details the differing locations of extensors (posterior/lateral) and flexors (anterior/medial) in the arm.
Biceps brachii's function in elbow flexion and its anatomical details including origin and insertion.
Triceps brachii's extension of the elbow along with the roles of brachialis and brachioradialis.
Anconeus opposes brachialis; Palmaris longus primarily flexes the wrist.
Flexor carpi ulnaris flexes and adducts the wrist.
Flexor carpi radialis flexes and abducts the wrist.
Extensor carpi radialis extends and abducts the wrist.
Extensor carpi ulnaris extends and adducts the wrist.
Muscles responsible for rotating the radius; includes pronator teres, supinator, and quadratus.
