    : condyle of the os humeri ; tendinous, from the ;t pact of the eoronoid process of the ulna; r! e frefri the tubercle of the radius, from the middle of ihe fore-part, of that bone, and from the middle third of its Guter edge. These origins form a strong fleshy mass, which sends oif four tendons. The ten- dons are connected by cellular membrane, and pas* together under the annular ligament of the \vri*t ; ;• terwbich they separate, become thinner and flatter, pass along the metacarpal bone and first phalanx of each of the fingers, and are Lifer ted into the anterior and upper part of the se- cond phalanx, each tendon being, near the extremity of the first phalanx, divided for the passage of a ten- don of the ilexor profundus. Situation; To expose the origin of this muscle, the bellies of the pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, and palmaris longus, must be detached from the condyle. It arises behind these muscles, and is connected to them by intermuscular ligaments. It descends along the fore, arm under these muscles, but a part of it is seen projecting towards the inner edge of the arm, betwixt the tendons of the palmaris longus and flexor carpi ulnaris. It arises from the radius immediately below the insertion of the biceps flexor cubiti, and on the inside of the insertion of the pronator teres. Its tendons will be seen in the dissection of the palm of the hand. Use ; To bend the second joint or phalanx of the fingers, ■Synonyma : Sublimis ;—Perfcratus ;—Epitrochlo* coroni-phalanginien. jm^ By ■■■:\
