INNERVATION OF SUPINATOR | RADIAL NERVE |
ACTION OF SUPINATOR | SUPINATION OF FOREARM |
THIS NERVE PASSES BETWEEN THE SUPERFICIAL AND DEEP LAYERS OF THE SUPINATOR | RADIAL |
SLOW, NON-RESISTED SUPINATION AND FOR SUPINATION WITH THE ELBOW EXTENEDED | SUPINATOR |
SPEED AND RESISTANCE REQUIRED IN SUPINATION | BICEPS BRACHII REQUIRED |
ORIGIN OF EXTENSOR CARPI RADIALIS LONGUS | LATERAL SUPRACONDYLAR RIDGE, LATERAL EPICONDYLE OF HUMERUS |

ACTION OF EXTENSOR CARPI RADIALLIS LONGUS | EXTENSION, ABDUCTION OF WRIST (RADIAL DEVIATION) |
INNERVATION OF EXTENSOR CARPI RADIALLIS LONGUS | RADIAL NERVE |
ACTING ALONE, THIS MUSCLE EXTENDS THE WRIST IN A RADIAL DIRECTION | EXTENSOR CARPI RADIALIS LONGUS |
ORIGIN OF EXTENSOR CARPI RADIALIS BREVIS | LATERAL EPICONDYLE OF HUMERUS (COMMON EXTENSOR TENDON) |
INSERTION OF EXTENSOR CARPI RADIALIS BREVIS | BASE OF 3RD METACARPAL |
ACTION OF EXTENSOR CARPI RADIALIS BREVIS | EXTENSION OF WRIST |
INNERVATION OF EXTENSOR CARPI RADIALIS BREVIS | RADIAL NERVE |
ACTING ALONG, THIS MUSCLE EXTENDS THE WRIST IN THE MIDLINE | EXTENSOR CARPI RADIALIS BREVIS |
ORIGIN OF EXTENSOR CARPI ULNARIS | LATERAL EPICONDYLE OF HUMERUS (COMMON EXTENSOR TENDON), POSTERIOR PROXIMAL ULNA |
INSERTION OF EXTENSOR CARPI ULNARIS | BASE OF 5TH METACARPAL |
ACTION OF EXTENSOR CARPI ULNARIS | EXTENSION, ADDUCTION OF WRIST (ULNAR DEVIATION) |
INNERVATION OF EXTENSOR CARPI ULNARIS | RADIAL NERVE |
ACTING ALONE, THIS MUSCLE EXTENDS THE WRIST IN AN ULNAR DIRECTION | EXTENSOR CARPI ULNARIS |
THE TENDON OF THIS MUSCLE RUNS THROUGH A GROOVE BETWEEN THE HEAD OF THE ULNA AND THE STYLOID PROCESS OF THE ULNA | EXTENSOR CARPI ULNARIS |
ORIGIN OF EXTENSOR DIGITORUM | LATERAL EPICONDYLE OF HUMERUS (COMMON EXTENSOR TENDON) |
INSERTION OF EXTENSOR DIGITORUM | EXTENSOR EXPANSION OF 4 FINGERS |
ACTION OF EXTENSOR DIGITORUM | EXTENSION OF PROXIMAL PHALANGES OF 4 FINGERS AT MP JOINTS, ASSISTS EXTENSION OF WRIST |
