| Muscle | Origin | Insertion | Action | Innervation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flexor carpi Radialis | medial epicondyle of the humerus | base of second and third metacarpals | wrist flexion and radial deviation | median nerve |
| Flexor carpi Ulnaris | medial epicondyle of humerus | pisiform and base of the fifth metacarpal | Wrist flexion and ulnar deviation | ulnar nerve |
| Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus | supracondyler ridge of humerus | base of the second metacarpal | wrist extension and radial deviation | radial nerve |
| Extensor Carpi Ulnaris | lateral epicondyle of humerus | base of the fifth metacarpal | wrist extension and "ulnar deviation" (moving the wrist in a way that brings the pinky closer to ulna) | radial nerve |
| Palmaris Longus | Medial Epicondyle of humerus | palmar aponeurosis | assistive in wrist flexion | median nerve. |

| Flexor Pollicis Longus | Radius, Anterior surface | distal phalanx of thumb | thumb flexion of all joints (IP, MCM, CMC) | median nerve |
| ABDuctor Pollicis Longus | Posterior Radius, Interosseous membrane, and middle ulna | base of the First metacarpal | thumb abduction. (CMC Joint) | Radial nerve. |
| Extensor Digitorum | lateral epicondyle of the humerus | base of the distal phalanx of the second through the fifth fingers | extension of all three joints of the fingers (DIP,PIP,MCP) | Radial nerve |
| Extensor Indicis | Distal ulna | base of distal phalanx of the second finer | extension of all three joints of the second finger (DIP,PIP,MCP) | radial Nerve |
