Name of bone
A
B
C
D
E

b. Explain why the degree of ulnar deviation/adduction of the wrist is greater than radial deviation/abduction.
c. Why are forearm extensors important for the development of a power grip, as in using a hammer?
.Question 2
a. Name the joints at which forearm supination occurs, name the two muscles primarily responsible for this movement and give the nerve supply of each.
b. Complete this table by identifying the letter on the forearm diagram below corresponding to the muscle primarily responsible for producing ulnar deviation adduction of the wrist. Also give the name of the muscle, its site of origin on the humerus and the name of the nerve supplying it.
