Elbow and wrist extension, artwork C016 / 6791
Elbow and wrist extension. Artwork of the muscles of the arm from the front, with red arrows showing the direction of movement when extending the elbow and wrist joints. Elbow extension is the straightening of the arm from a bent position (here from 90 degrees downwards), a motion performed mainly by the triceps brachii muscle on the underside of the upper arm. Wrist extension (sometimes called dorsiflexion) is where the hand is tilted in the direction of the back of the hand, as opposed to palmar flexion. The nerve used is the radial nerve. This is the right arm. For the left arm, see C016/6792

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Elbow and Wrist Extension" showcases the intricate musculature of the arm from a frontal perspective. The artwork beautifully highlights the red arrows indicating the direction of movement when extending both the elbow and wrist joints. Elbow extension, demonstrated here as straightening the arm from a bent position at 90 degrees downwards, is primarily executed by the triceps brachii muscle located on the underside of the upper arm. In addition to elbow extension, this artwork also emphasizes wrist extension or dorsiflexion - tilting the hand towards the backside rather than palmar flexion. The radial nerve plays a crucial role in enabling this movement. This particular print focuses on depicting these movements in relation to a right arm; for details regarding left-arm movements, refer to C016/6792. The white background enhances visual clarity while allowing viewers to appreciate every detail of this anatomical masterpiece. With its emphasis on biology, physiology, and anatomy, this illustration provides valuable insights into normal range-of-motion capabilities within our bodies. Created by D & L GRAPHICS for Science Photo Library (not affiliated with any company), this print serves as an invaluable resource for professionals in fields such as arthrology, biomechanics, and human physiology. Its cut-out design allows for easy integration into educational materials or medical presentations without compromising accuracy or aesthetic appeal.
