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
Human body blood to produce urine, which carries a variety of waste molecules and excess ions and water out of the body. Human anatomy is the study of the shape and form of the human body. The human body has four limbs (two arms and two legs), a head and a neck which connect to the torso. The body's shape is determined by a strong skeleton made of bone and cartilage, surrounded by fat, muscle, connective tissue, organs, and other structures. The spine at the back of the skeleton contains the flexible vertebral column which surrounds the spinal cord, which is a
