Excellent video. Hope this gets more view because you’re clear, you teach beyond memorization fodder and you didn’t add any of the TH-cam filler like long intros and pointless info. Thank you!
as an artist, the forearms is on of the hardest muscles to draw, especially if you're drawing a specific position, this video finally hepled me understanding how it's shaped 🙏🏻
As an Old Master, I've always loved anatomy. As a serious high art classical musician, I want to understand the hand, phalanges and digits for better tequnique. No musician or teacher knows these things. Chopin had a rudimentary but important knowledge because of the necessity due to his weakness and physical stature. His pal, Liszt, had lots of physical strength and totally different technique. Having both is closer to ideal. I'm a clarinettist not a keyboard player. More is required of us!
@@jaranis9273 it is! I just didn't mention it because its not in the curriculum for the college I work at... At 3:14 you can see it between the extensor digitorum and the extensor carpi ulnaris
Not enjoying access to the anatomical models at home and utilizing pictures I took and labeled with my iPad, a lot gets lost in position and translation. So THANK YOU for doing this. What a lifesaver. 😇
Thank you so much. I don’t know why my anatomy professor has to make everything so fricking complicated. Like just show me the forearm. And name them off. You did a great job thank you
You're not alone! I've worked one-on-one with probably hundreds of students at this point and almost every single student cries when they reach the forearm!
The muscles of the forearm are definitely some of the most difficult to learn. The types of muscle names that I find the most difficult to learn are muscles that have words like flexor, extensor, longus and brevis in their name. It sounds very unoriginal because many muscles have these words in their name. I find it much easier to learn muscles that have more original names, such as gracilis and sartorius.
Try to tie the logic of the name to the location/appearance! For example...all flexors are on the palm side and the extensors are on the posterior side... the naming pattern for them is action + body part doing the action + word to differentiate it from a muscle with the first two words in common. A fourth word is added if two muscles have the first three words in common. So...extensor digitorum...extends the digits Flexor carpi radialis...flexes wrist and we need the radialis part to distinguish it from it's friend the flexor carpi ulnaris. Extensor carpi ulnaris Extensor carpi radialis brevis Extensor carpi radialis longus We add the fourth word to tell the pair apart...brevis is always the smaller muscle and longus the bigger! Once your brain sees the pattern of it, it's not so bad! Just always pay attention to where the are going to (for example... Don't confuse the pronator teres with one of the flexors... The pronator teres is clearly not traveling to the wrist so it cannot flex the wrist) Good luck in your studies!
The flax of tendon crossing over from the bicep has me worried. I feel like I tore that in my left arm, while the main tendon is still attached. Seeing a bulge now where I didn't see one before, and the left bicep seems slightly pitted on the outside, as i flex.
I’m not here as a student necessarily, but I recently bought an ice cream parlor and my scooping forearm (middle of the underneath of my forearm, down by my wrist) has been killing me lately. Thought I would look into how I’m screwing up my wrist and how not to hurt myself there again. So thank you for posting!
I wish you were able to make these videos on the actual cadaver because it is SO DIFFERENT looking at this and going into wet lab and each cadaver looks different as well and k feel so lost 😭😭😭
I'm sorry to hear you're having a hard time! I'm sure you're not the only one...wish I could help you out but unfortunately I have neither the materials nor the expertise. The only piece of general advice I can give you is maybe pay less attention to what the muscle looks like and more attention to where it's tendon is inserting/it's relative position to other muscles...and always talk yourself through it...like... "I know this is the flexor carpi ulnaris because it's inserting onto the front pinky side of the hand, so this muscle right next to it that inserts onto the dorsal pinky side is the extensor carpi ulnaris..." Sorry if thats not helpful for your specific situation, but it's all I've got! Best of luck to you in your studies!
@@AnatomyHeroThis comment is super helpful! I'm here purely for drawing purposes, but I've been so frustrated due to the discrepancies between anatomy models and actual musculature on real people. But this makes everything click! Not only I now have a way to identify muscles with greater ease, but this knowledge even improved the gestural quality of my art! My muscles now look more realistic and appealing, because I'm no longer thinking about them as static shapes, but rather shapes that bend, squash, stretch and turn in order to connect to their insertion points.... Seriously, thank you!!
It's the flexor digitorum superficialis because it's superficial to the flexor digitorum profundus (profundus means deep, as in the word "profound") My apologies about the audio, this was before I realized that if you record the audio directly into PowerPoint the audio takes a second to start again when switching slides 😑
Back in those days I didn't realize that PPT audio takes a second to pick back up when you're changing slides. Basically it's the superficialis because there's an even deeper one (flexor digitorum profundus). Profundus = deep
Yes, definitely don't count on me to be completely comprehensive! The primary reason I started making these videos was to help students at my school who have less time to study because they work full-time or have kids..so sometimes I skip things intentionally when they are not part of the curriculum, or if they aren't visible on the model (ie pronator quadratus), or based on functional relevance (I skipped the anconeus because it doesn't move the forearm).
Right in between the extensor digitorum and extensor carpi ulnaris (I made these videos for a specific school, and that wasn't in the curriculum for whatever reason)
Ah ok. Thanks for clarifying. As you can imagine, I can’t bring the model arm home to be more familiar away from anatomy class, so you’ve been a major gap filler. Thank you.
I'm glad to know it was helpful! I have other muscle videos if you need them: th-cam.com/play/PLBM7jL93Kc2TMpyo7eNNzO0ug-mjpm5vM.html Good luck in your studies!
Sorry if you're having trouble hearing... you might want to try a different device/check your volume settings because opening it on my phone and turning it up all the way it was pretty loud. I am planning on refilming a video on this topic soon, though, so hopefully that'll work out for you even if this doesn't!
@@AnatomyHero It is okay with the cellphone but very small, especially when I play it on a laptop. but I really like your videos (Histology helped me a lot though) so No offense, just a suggestion. Thank you for the good videos.:D

As a fellow artisist, I agree with you
One of....yes. the hand takes as much time and work as the whole rest of the body.
@@mozartsbumbumsrus7750 yep, that's right 🙂
Forearm muscles are the hardest ones to study. Lol.
the bad thing
No it just want study some hours accurately in youtube and forthen doing Review
@@تبارك-م7خ it needs imagination and we study more thing like all musclein upper and lower in little time in the university
😃 and i am not bio student.. came here after gym
@@ahmed3587 also we are ,
This was an incredible video thank you!!! These forearm muscles are incredibly confusing but you really broke it down nicely for us.
So helpful for my anatomy class! I was so stressed about the arm muscles, and this really simplied it for me! ☺
Glad it helped! Good luck in your studies!
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you so so so much. You are an excellent teacher!
It makes me happy to know people are watching and finding it helpful! Good luck in your studies!
@@AnatomyHero Hello again, do you have videos about the muscles of the forearm on a cadaver?
@@jaranis9273 sorry, no cadaver stuff!

Ohh, lovely! Glad to know someone is making good use out of it!
@@AnatomyHero Hello again. Do you have videos on the muscles of the forearm in a cadaver?
I've tried to understand this group of muscles for eons. This video cleared it uo an a dew minutes. Thank you.
You're not alone! I've worked one-on-one with probably hundreds of students at this point and almost every single student cries when they reach the forearm!
Thanks a lot for this wonderful video. I really can't thank you enough, you've made things so much easier for me. You're awesome!!
Wow, thank you! I was searching for hours/days for a video like this!! I love how you added the names to the arm!!!
No problem! Glad you found it helpful!
thank you for always saving me from confusion
first grade student in med school... thank you very much 🌟
This is useful video for 3d artists to understand superficial muscles...
She:Flexor digitorum superficialis is called superficial because.........
Me:yes yes
She:its a joke
5:00
Looking through the comments for the answer ! HAHA
Thank u , you saved my life and grades 😂😂😂❤️
I love you for making this video! Anatomy Hero, is accurate!
Lifesaver for my Bio 210 class! Thank you ❤
You're welcome! If you need a second view, I just made a live action version: th-cam.com/video/PngJNAwM1Cs/w-d-xo.html
Finally, a video that actually helped!! thank you so much for taking your time. This is appreciated!!
Thank you professor… your videos are the best
I wanna see something for you doctor I'm Muslim and l study medicine so your video is the best as long as I have ever seen thank you so much😊.
You are a real HERO!
This model looks really nice, would be awesome to have while studying

Was searching for such video from long time great work 🙌🏻 please become my university’s anatomy professor .
Thank you for taking the time to leave a nice comment! I am happy it was helpful!
Awesome channel!
This is amazing to remember the muscles!!
Thank youu😁
I’m not here as a student necessarily, but I recently bought an ice cream parlor and my scooping forearm (middle of the underneath of my forearm, down by my wrist) has been killing me lately.
Thought I would look into how I’m screwing up my wrist and how not to hurt myself there again.
So thank you for posting!
That's carpel tunnels syndrome probably
I think it's better to show a doctor
Is it just me, or did she not mention the "extensor ulinaris calparsoniom longussaurus brachii"?
My bad, its right next to the triceratops superficialis
😂😂👍
Very good instruction. Thank you.
I'm not even a medical student. I am just interested in arms muscles
Thank you you have made this simple and easy to follow
great video! thank you!
Thank you 👍
Does anyone have an idea of how often the palmaris longus is causing carpal tunnel symptoms?
Thank you so much , it’s very clear, it helps me a lot ！👍👍👍😘
Amazing! Thanks for this
so so helpful, thank you!
what about the anconeus
I wish you were able to make these videos on the actual cadaver because it is SO DIFFERENT looking at this and going into wet lab and each cadaver looks different as well and k feel so lost 😭😭😭

@@CityRainee thank you for leaving that comment! One of my other great loves is drawing so I'm always glad to hear from artists.
So why is it called flexor digitorum superficialis when its deep to other muscles.
Because it's superficial to the other muscle that flexes the digits - the flexor digitorum profundus (profundus means deep, like the word profound)
I needed this for armwrestling!!
Idk why but it seems like a flex to know all of these names (no pun intended)
Please tell me why it's called superficialis, the audio cuts out
It's the flexor digitorum superficialis because it's superficial to the flexor digitorum profundus (profundus means deep, as in the word "profound")
My apologies about the audio, this was before I realized that if you record the audio directly into PowerPoint the audio takes a second to start again when switching slides 😑
Well explained. Thank you
Please explain origin, Insertion, Action and nerve supply for these muscles and thanks alot 🧡
Thank you so so much! Keep being great please❤
thank you for this!
superb❤
Bruuuu why does the video randomly cut out when your about to explain flexor digitorum superficialis 😭😭
Back in those days I didn't realize that PPT audio takes a second to pick back up when you're changing slides. Basically it's the superficialis because there's an even deeper one (flexor digitorum profundus). Profundus = deep

@@AnatomyHero thanks g
I’m trying to find these muscles but I can’t find them because I have now discovered I’m weak

pleasevjust be quiet little man
I think memorizing these muscles are worse than if we just didnt have these muscles at all lol
Today is my anatomy viva please pray for me
What we call the group of muscles in the FOREARMS
Because it's called CALF at FORELEGS
No special name... We just say forearm muscles!
