Which is an eccentric function of the flexor carpi radialis?
A)restrains/slows flexion of the arm at the glenohumeral joint
B)restrains/slows pronation of the forearm at the radioulnar joints
C)restrains/slows ulnar deviation (adduction)of the hand at the wrist joint
D)restrains/slows radial deviation (abduction)of the hand at the wrist joint

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The flexor carpi radialis is responsible for flexing the wrist joint and also contributes to radial deviation (abduction) of the hand. Therefore, it does not restrain or slow down radial deviation, but it does restrain or slow down ulnar deviation (adduction) of the hand.
