Flexors of the wrist and fingers- insertions and origins

kinesiology

flexor carpi radialis

origin: common flexor tendon from medial epicondyle of humerus

insertion: bases of 2nd and 3rd metacarpals

palmaris longus

origin: common flexor tendon from medial epicondyle of humerus

insertion: flexor retinaculum and palmar aponeurosis

flexor carpi ulnaris

origin: humeral head- common flexor tendon from medial epicondyle of humerus'

ulnar head- posterior surface of proximal two-thirds of ulna

insertion: pisiform, hook of hamate, and base of 5th metacarpal

flexor digitorum superficialis

origin: common flexor tendon from medial epicondyle of humerus, ulna, and grabs parts of radius

insertion: sides of middle phalanges of 2nd-5th fingers

flexor digitorum profundus

origin: anterior and medial surfaces of proximal three-quarters of ulna

insertion: bases of distal phalanges, palmar surface of 2nd-5th fingers

anconeus

origin: lateral epicondyle of humerus

insertion: olecranon process and posterior, proximal surface of ulna

extensor indicis

origin: posterior surface of distal shaft of ulna and interosseous membrane

insertion: tendon of the extensor digitorum at the level of the second metacarpal
