    The passage provides an overview of the major muscles of the arm, forearm and hand including their origins, insertions, innervations and blood supply.

    The biceps, triceps, brachialis and coracobrachialis are the main flexor and extensor muscles of the arm. The forearm muscles include flexors and pronators like flexor digitorum profundus as well as extensors like extensor digitorum.

    The thenar muscles like abductor pollicis brevis help abduct the thumb. The hypothenar muscles including flexor digiti minimi brevis act on the little finger. Intrinsic hand muscles like the interossei aid in finger movement.
