The palmaris longus is large, it ends in the fascia palmaris. 



There is only one flexor digitorum, which gets an accessory belly 

 from the ulna. 



From the very large Pp. arises a strong muscle which goes to the 

 pollex. 



From the deep layer of the wrist comes a muscle which is 

 inserted into the Pp. aud the pollex. It may be called flexor pollicis 

 et prcepollicis brevis, or, as it is also a " little adductor," perhaps 

 " opponens poll, et praipollicis?

 a. Flexores. 



There are two palmares longi and two ulnares interni. 



The palmaris longus radialis is supplied by the n. medianus; 

 the palmaris longus idnaris by the n. ulnaris ; both idnares intemi 

 (radialis, ulnaris) being supplied by the latter nerve. 



The palm. long. rad. arises with the m. ulnaris int. uln. from 

 the internal condyle of the humerus, and ends in the volar pads 

 and in digits 2-5, also between them in the webs. 



The palm. long. uln. arises with the former muscle and goes to 

 both the radial and ulnar pads on the wrist, mainly to the ulnar 

 one. 



The ulnaris int. rad. (humeralis) takes origin from the internal 

 condyle of the humerus, while the idnaris int. idnaris s. proprius 

 comes from the ulna ; both are inserted together into the pisiform. 



In this animal can be observed the fissure of main tendons and 

 the coalescence of its delicate parts, and the development of a fascia 

 or aponeurosis from tendons. 



Muscles on the wrist : — 



Connected f (1) An almost transverse muscle, like the palmaris 

 with each -j brevis of Man, ending in the ulnar pad. 



other. ( (2) An oblique muscle, ending in the thumb. 



(3) A muscle representing the greatest part of the " lig." carpi 

 transversum of Man ; this " ligament " consisting partly of the 

 tendon of the palmaris longus ulnaris, for the greater part of 

 muscular fibres. 



The flexor digitorum sublimis sends four tendons to the second 

 phalanx of digits 2-5 ; the tendons are very weak, they are not 

 so distinctly divided in two parts as in Man ; a strong tendon 

 joins the profundus and continues mostly into the 2nd and 3rd 

 digits. 



The flexor digitorum profundus forms a fibrous mass near the 

 wrist; from this mass arise five strong tendons for digits 1-5.
