forearm muscles

Forearm muscles are a group of muscles located between the elbow and the wrist, responsible for moving the wrist, fingers, and thumb. They are divided into superficial and deep layers. Superficial muscles help with wrist flexion and extension, as well as finger movements, while deep muscles assist with fine-tuned movements and grip strength. These muscles work together to enable activities like typing, gripping objects, and wrist rotation. They are controlled by nerves originating from the brachial plexus and are essential for hand function and dexterity.
