The muscles are largely involved with flexion and supination. [2] The superficial muscles have their origin on the common flexor tendon. [2] The ulnar nerve and artery are also contained within this compartment. [2] The flexor digitorum superficialis lies in between the other four muscles of the superficial group and the three muscles of the ...
This muscle originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus as part of the common flexor tendon. It runs just laterally of flexor digitorum superficialis and inserts on the anterior aspect of the base of the second metacarpal, and has small slips to both the third metacarpal and trapezium tuberosity.

For the legs, superficial muscles are shown in the anterior view while the posterior view shows both superficial and deep muscles. There are three types of muscles—cardiac, skeletal, and smooth. Smooth muscles are used to control the flow of substances within the lumens of hollow organs, and are not consciously controlled.
The anterior compartment of the leg is supplied by the deep fibular nerve (deep peroneal nerve), a branch of the common fibular nerve. The nerve contains axons from the L4, L5, and S1 spinal nerves. Blood for the compartment is supplied by the anterior tibial artery, which runs between the tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus muscles.
A muscle slip is a slip of muscle that can either be an anatomical variant, [2] or a branching of a muscle as in rib connections of the serratus anterior muscle. Smooth muscle [ edit ]
Superficial/anterior to the anterior layer of the rectus sheath are the following two layers: [4] Camper's fascia (anterior part of superficial fascia) Scarpa's fascia (posterior part of the superficial fascia) Deep/posterior posterior layer of the rectus sheath (where present) are the following three layers: [citation needed] transversalis ...
Anterior view. The superficial branches of the internal pudendal artery. The posterior aspect of the rectum exposed by removing the lower part of the sacrum and the coccyx.
Many anatomical terms can be combined, either to indicate a position in two axes simultaneously or to indicate the direction of a movement relative to the body. For example, "anterolateral" indicates a position that is both anterior and lateral to the body axis (such as the bulk of the pectoralis major muscle).
