forgi.-t it-' aponeurotic origin. The muscle originates i i) from the anterior sur- 

 face, upper two-thirds of the ulna; (2) from the upper three-fourths (if the 

 posterior border of the ulna, with the flexor carpi ulnaris and extensor carpi 

 ulnaris muscles. This latter is called the aponeurotic origin. Trace nerves to 

 this muscle from the median and ulnar.

 teres ; (3) the accessory head of the flexor longus pollicis ; (4) the coronoid origin 

 of the flexor sublimis digitorum.
