A-Z Course 12 (15 HR/CE)

Enjoy lifetime access to this online course.

In the 12th course of our journey through “Anatomy from A to Z,” we explore the extraordinary “octopus” of muscle tissues that comprise the forearm and the hand. 

This course includes a detailed exploration and dissection of the superficial and deep muscle tissues of the forearm, including the flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus, palmaris longus, flexor pollicis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis and longus, extensor digitorum, extensor indicis, extensor carpi ulnaris, brachioradialis, brachialis, extensor indicis, extensor pollicis longus, supinator, anconeus, pronator teres, pronator quadratus. This course also explores in detail the muscle tissues of the hand, including the abductor pollicis brevis, the flexor pollicis brevis, opponens pollicis, flexor digiti minimi, abductor digiti minimi, opponens, digiti minimi, and the dorsal and palmar interossei. You will also explore key nerves and structures, such as the flexor retinaculum as well as the radial, median, ulnar, and musculocutaneous nerves. 

Through this experience, participants will gain a rich and deep understanding of the continuities, connections, and relationships between these named muscles and their surrounding tissues, including bony landmarks, fasciae, and visceral elements. Structures will also be compared ex-situ to provide an appreciation for the diversity and range of anatomical expression. Through cultivating a greater appreciation of the human form, participants will be better able to apply their anatomical knowledge to their bodywork and movement practices.
