Description
The flexor carpi radialis muscle is a long, thin muscle located in the anterior compartment of the forearm. It extends from the medial epicondyle of the humerus to the base of the second and third metacarpals in the hand. 

The main function of the flexor carpi radialis muscle is to flex and abduct the hand at the wrist joint. It also helps to stabilize the wrist joint during movements of the hand.

The flexor carpi radialis muscle is commonly used in activities that require flexion and abduction of the hand at the wrist, such as gripping objects or waving. It is also used in activities that require stability of the wrist, such as typing or playing a musical instrument.
