Cards

Term
brachioradialis origin and insertion
Definition

ORIGIN:lateral humerus above lateral epicondyle

 

 

insertion: styloid process of radius

Term
brachioradialis function
Definition
elbow flexion!
Term
pronator quadratus origin and insertion
Definition

origin: anterior, distal, ulna

 

insertion: anterior, distal radius 

Term
function of pronator quadratus
Definition

the function of pronator quadratus is that it is the prime mover of pronation of the forearm. 

 

pronator quadratus also resists separation of the radius and ulna when force is applied through the wrist

 

Term
pronator teres origin and insertion
Definition

origin: medial epidcondyle of humerus and CORONOID process of ulna

 

 

 

insertion: lateral radius

Term
function of pronator teres
Definition

to assist pronator quadratus durin rapid pronation of the warm 

 

also has a role in weak elbow flexion

 

Term
function of the supinator
Definition
supination of the forearm
Term
supinator origin and insertion
Definition

origin: lateral epicondyle and supinator crest and fossa of the ulna

 

insertion: proximal 1/3 of radius

Term
flexor carpi radialis origin and insertion?
Definition

origin: medial epicondyle of humerus

 

 

 

insertion: Metacarpals 2 and 3

 

Term
function of flexor carpi radialis
Definition
wrist flexor

origin: radius and interosseous membraine

 

 

insertion: distal phalnyx 1

 

Term
flexor pollicis longus action
Definition
flexion of thumb
