The Superficial Muscles Of The Anterior Compartment Of The Forearm

Leslie Samuel introduces a video on the superficial muscles of the anterior compartment, focusing on their functions, innervation, and identification. The video explains the flexion of the wrist and digits, pronation of the forearm, and the role of the median and ulnar nerves. It provides memory aids for identifying muscles like pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, and flexor carpi ulnaris. The video concludes with a review and directs viewers to additional resources.
