Digastric muscle cornu of the hyoid bone; this is termed the suprahyoid aponeurosis. The digastricus (digastric muscle) consists of two muscular bellies united by an intermediate rounded tendon. The two bellies of the digastric muscle have different embryological origins, and are supplied by different cranial nerves. Each person has a right and left digastric muscle. In most anatomical discussions, the singular is used to refer to a muscle, even when each person actually has two of that muscle—one on the right side, and another on the left. For example, we speak of the deltoid, even though there is one deltoid in each
Flexor carpi ulnaris muscle Flexor carpi ulnaris muscle The flexor carpi ulnaris muscle (or FCU) is a muscle of the human forearm that acts to flex and adduct (medial deviation) the hand. Flexor carpi ulnaris muscle arises by two heads, humeral and ulnar, connected by a tendinous arch beneath which the ulnar nerve and artery pass. Its insertion is into the pisiform bone, into the hamate bone via the pisohamate ligament and into the fifth metacarpal bone via the pisometacarpal ligament. The muscle acts to flex and adduct the wrist joint. The flexor carpi ulnaris muscle is innervated by the ulnar nerve which has
