Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The flexor carpi radialis is a forearm muscle that flexes and abducts (radially deviates) the hand at the wrist joint. Therefore, choice A (flexion and radial deviation of the hand at the wrist joint) is the correct option. The other options are incorrect because the flexor carpi radialis is not involved in extension or ulnar deviation (adduction) of the hand at the wrist joint, or flexion and extension of the forearm at the elbow joint.
