caption: 6 muscles have tendons crossing the front of the wrist and can therefore produce flexion
exif: {"Image DocumentName": "6 muscles have tendons crossing the front of the wrist and can therefore produce flexion", "Image ImageDescription": "3 main flexors are - palmaris longus, flexor carpi radialis (FCR) and flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) Palmaris longus \u2013 common flexor tendon (CFT) to flexor retinaculum and palmar aponeurosis Cf later. FCR \u2013 CFT to base of 2nd metacarpal + slip to 3rd metacarpal. Greater contribution to wrist flexion acting with palmaris longus than radial deviation. FCU \u2013 CFT also from ulna to pisiform and by ligaments to hamate and 5th metacarpal. Pisiform improves angle of pull so that FCU acts as flexor and effective in ulnar deviation.", "Image XResolution": "200", "Image YResolution": "200", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
