Forearm muscle, artwork C013 / 4585
Forearm muscle. Computer artwork of an anterior view of a human arm, showing the flexor pollicis longus muscle (red) of the forearm and its attachments to the bones of the arm, wrist and hand. This muscle originates from the radius (one of the lower arm bones) and ends in a tendon (white) that passes through the carpal tunnel of the wrist and attaches to the final (distal) phalanx of the thumb. This muscle is used to flex (bend) the thumb. Like other tendons passing through the carpal tunnel, this one can be affected by carpal tunnel syndrome. Also shown are bones and cartilage of the arm, including the elbow and shoulder joints

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the forearm muscle, artwork C013 / 4585. In this computer-generated artwork, we are presented with an anterior view of a human arm, highlighting the flexor pollicis longus muscle in striking red. This crucial muscle originates from the radius and extends into a tendon that traverses through the carpal tunnel of the wrist before attaching to the distal phalanx of the thumb. The flexor pollicis longus muscle plays a vital role in thumb flexion, allowing us to bend this digit effortlessly. However, it is important to note that like other tendons passing through the carpal tunnel, this particular one can be susceptible to carpal tunnel syndrome. Accompanying this detailed illustration are various bones and cartilage structures representing different parts of our arm's anatomy. From elbow and shoulder joints to finger phalanges and metacarpals, every element is meticulously depicted. This awe-inspiring image not only highlights our body's complex musculoskeletal system but also serves as a reminder of its remarkable functionality. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its normalcy and anatomical intricacies while shedding light on potential medical conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Captured by Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library, this extraordinary piece invites us into a world where science meets artistry – showcasing biology at its finest.
