comes tendon, which goes to be inserted into the os pisiforme.
The flexor carpi radialis with this muscle bend the wrist with
great force ; alone it pulls the hand side-ways.

Palmaris longls.—Epitvo-pahnaris.—A long, thill muscle,
that arises from the intern1.! condyle of the os humeri; its
fleshy belly is but two or three inches long ; it then forms a
slender tendon, ant! passes along ti;<j middle of the fore-arm
to be inserted into the annular Mgament, just under the root
of the thumb. It ■expands from thence into an aponeurosis,
which covers and protects the muscles and blood-vessels of
the hand. It bends the hand.

Flexor carpi radialis.—Radialis inlernus; Epitrochlo-
metacarpeus.—A long, thin muscle, arising, by a thic k, short,
and split tendon, from the internal condyle of the humerus,
from which it proceeds fleshy, along the middle of the fore-
arm in the eooiss of ti.e radius. Its thin tendon passes under
the annular ligament, in a groove peculiar to itself, to be in-
serted into the metacarpal bone of the fore-finger. It bends
the wrist.

Pronator radii teres,—Epitroclo-radialis.—A small,
round muscle, which arises from the internal condyle of the
humerus, and from the coronoid process of the ulna. It is
chiefly fleshy, and of a conical shape, stretching obliquely
acr oss the arm, to be inserted into the outer ridge of the ra-
dius, about the middle of its length. It turns Ihe hand,
downwards.

Supinator radii brevis.—Epicondilo-radialis.—A short,
thicjk, and fleshy muscle : it arises from the external condyle
of the .os brachii, from the edge of 'die ulna, and from the in-
terosseous ligament; and is turned over the radius, to be in-
serted into its ridge^ It rotates ihe radius outwards.
