Origin and insertion
This muscle starts at the medial epicondyle of the humerus (as does flexor carpi ulnaris muscle) and attaches to the anterior side of the base of the 2nd and 3rd metacarpals. The humerus is a long bone in the arm or fore-legs (animals) that runs from the shoulder to the elbow. ...
In anatomy, flexor carpi ulnaris muscle is a muscle of the human forearm that acts to flex and adduct the hand. ...
It runs just laterally of flexor digitorum superficialis, and the tendon of flexor carpi radialis can be seen on the anterior of the distal forearm. Flexor digitorum superficialis is an extrinsic flexor muscle of the fingers. ...
On a person's distal forearm, right before the wrist, they will see either two or three tendons. Flexor carpi radialis is the most lateral (closest to the thumb) of these. (The most medial one is flexor carpi ulnaris, and the middle one, if it exists is palmaris longus.) In anatomy, flexor carpi ulnaris muscle is a muscle of the human forearm that acts to flex and adduct the hand. ...
OriginMedial epicondyle of humerus InsertionDistal half of the flexor retinaculum and palmar aponeurosis Innervation Median nerve(C7 and C8) Action Flexes hand(at wrist)and tightens palmar aponeurosis. ...
Nerve and artery As are most of the flexors of the hand, FCR is innervated by the median nerve. It gets its blood from the ulnar artery. The median nerve is a nerve that runs down the arm and forearm. ...
The ulnar artery is the main blood vessel, with oxygenated blood, of the medial aspect of the forearm. ...
Exercises The muscle, like all flexors of the forearm, can be strengthened by exercises that resist its flexion. A wrist roller can be used and wrist curls with dumbbells can also be performed. Strength training is the use of resistance to muscular contraction to build the strength, endurance and size of skeletal muscles. ...
The wrist curl is a weight training exercise for developing just the muscles of the forearm. ...

See also The flexor retinaculum (transverse carpal ligament, or anterior annular ligament) is a strong, fibrous band, which arches over the carpus, converting the deep groove on the front of the carpal bones into a tunnel, the carpal tunnel, through which the Flexor tendons of the digits and the median nerve pass. ...
