Palmaris Longus

Examples of Palmaris Longus in the following topics:

• Muscles of the Wrist and Hand

  • Palmaris Longus - A long muscle originating near the elbow and passing through into the wrist.
  • Extensor Carpi Ulnaris – Located on the other side of the forearm to the extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis, it performs a similar role.
  • Abductor Pollicis Longus – The abductor pollicis longus is situated immediately distal to the supinator muscle.
  • Extensor Pollicis Brevis – The extensor pollicis brevis is located below the abductor pollicis longus.
  • Palmaris Brevis – The palmaris brevis is a small superficial muscle found in the palm.

• Muscles that Cause Movement at the Foot

  • Extensor Digitorum Longus - The extensor digitorum longus is a deep-lying extrinsic muscle that lies runs down the length of the tibia.
  • Extensor Hallucis Longus - The extensor hallucis longus is a deep-lying extrinsic muscle lying beneath the extensor digitorum longus.
  • Extensor Hallucis Brevis - The extensor hallucis brevis muscle is an intrinsic muscle of the foot lying between the extensor digitorum longus and lateral to extensor hallucis longus.
  • Actions - Assists flexor digitorum longus in flexing the lateral four toes.
  • Attachments - Originates from the tendons of flexor digitorum longus.

• Muscles that Cause Movement at the Ankle

  • Extensor Digitorum Longus - The extensor digitorum longus is a deep-lying extrinsic muscle that runs the length of the tibia.
  • Extensor Hallucis Longus - The extensor hallucis longus is a deep lying extrinsic muscle beneath the extensor digitorum longus.
  • Fibularis Longus – The fibularis longus is the longer and more superficial of the two muscles.
  • Performed by the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus and extensor digitorum longus.

• Tibia and Fibula (The Leg)

  • These muscles originate from the fibula's surface and include the extensor digitorum longus, soleus, and flexor hallucis longus, among others.

• Muscles that Cause Movement at the Hip Joint

  • Adductor Longus - The adductor longus is a large, flat muscle covering the adductor magnus and adductor brevis.
  • Adductor Brevis - The adductor brevis is a short muscle lying underneath the adductor longus.

• Pulled Groin

  • These hip adductor muscles that make up the groin consist of the adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus, gracilis, and pectineus .

• Arches of the Feet

  • The arch is further supported by the plantar aponeurosis, by the small muscles in the sole of the foot, by the tendons of the peroneus longus and the tibialis anterior and posterior, and by the ligaments of all the articulations involved.
  • The transverse arches are strengthened by the interosseous, plantar, and dorsal ligaments; by the short muscles of the first and fifth toes (especially the transverse head of the adductor hallucis), and by the peroneus longus, whose tendon stretches between the piers of the arches.

• Shin Splint Syndrome

  • Muscle imbalance, including weakened core muscles lead to more lower-extremity injuries; also the inflexibility and tightness of the gastrocnemius, soleus, and plantar muscles (commonly the flexor digitorum longus) can contribute to shin splints.

• Introduction to the Renaissance

  • Some observers have called into question whether the Renaissance was a cultural "advance" from the Middle Ages, instead seeing it as a period of pessimism and nostalgia for classical antiquity, while social and economic historians, especially of the longue durée (long-term), have instead focused on the continuity between the two eras, which are linked, as Panofsky observed, "by a thousand ties."
