Wrist Extensor Workshop
This posterior forearm muscle extends and adducts the wrist.
What is the extensor carpi ulnaris?
This posterior forearm muscle extends digits 2–5.
What is the extensor digitorum?
This large gluteal muscle extends the thigh at the hip.
What is the gluteus maximus?
This anterior thigh muscle group extends the knee.
What is the quadriceps femoris group?
This posterior thigh group extends the hip and flexes the knee.
What is the hamstring group?
This wrist extensor abducts the wrist and has “longus” in its name.
What is the extensor carpi radialis longus?
This posterior forearm muscle specifically extends digit 5.
What is the extensor digiti minimi?
This gluteal muscle abducts the thigh at the hip.
What is the gluteus medius?
This quadriceps muscle both extends the knee and flexes the hip.
What is the rectus femoris?
This hamstring has “biceps” in its name.
What is the biceps femoris?
This wrist extensor abducts the wrist and has “brevis” in its name.
What is the extensor carpi radialis brevis?
This pair produces opposite wrist movements while both abducting the wrist: the first flexes it, and the second is the “longus” extensor.
What are the flexor carpi radialis and extensor carpi radialis longus, respectively?
This lateral hip muscle both abducts the thigh and extends the knee, according to your list.
What is the tensor fasciae latae?
These three quadriceps muscles share the name “vastus.”
What are the vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, and vastus medialis?
These two hamstrings have names beginning with “semi.”
What are the semimembranosus and semitendinosus?
These two listed muscles share both wrist extension and wrist abduction.
What are the extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi radialis brevis?
A student extends digits 2–5 and then separately emphasizes extension of the little finger. Identify the muscles matching those two listed actions.
What are the extensor digitorum and extensor digiti minimi, respectively?
These two members of the listed hip-flexor group flex the thigh at the hip.
What are the iliacus and psoas major?
Of the four quadriceps muscles on your sheet, this is the only one with hip flexion included among its listed actions.
What is the rectus femoris?
This anterior thigh muscle combines hip flexion with knee flexion.
What is the sartorius?
These two muscles both adduct the wrist, but one flexes it and the other extends it.
What are the flexor carpi ulnaris and extensor carpi ulnaris, respectively?
Identify the three muscles matching this sequence: pronate the forearm, flex and abduct the wrist, then extend and adduct the wrist.
What are the pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, and extensor carpi ulnaris, respectively?
Identify the hip extensor, the gluteal hip abductor, and the lateral hip muscle that combines thigh abduction with knee extension.
What are the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and tensor fasciae latae, respectively?
Name all four quadriceps muscles and the action they share.
What are the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, and vastus medialis; and knee extension?
These two anterior thigh muscles both flex the hip, but one flexes the knee and the other extends it.
What are the sartorius and rectus femoris, respectively?
