Extensor

Accordingly the so-called extensor muscles of the body need frequent action. ❋ Unknown (1884)

A projecting structure termed the extensor process (or extensor attachment) is present between the carpal trochlea and the alular digit; it belongs to metacarpal I (also called the alular metacarpal), but this is hard to appreciate in modern birds because metacarpal I is fused imperceptibly into the carpometacarpus as mentioned above [in the adjacent diagram, from ❋ Unknown (2010)

Some doctors say Nintendonitis is a real condition, caused by inflammation of the thumb's extensor tendon from pressing buttons. ❋ Unknown (2011)

What you can't see in this shot is that my feet are actually cut, and (for additional grossness) I can pump up my extensor digitorum brevis muscle so that it's ripped and the veins over it pop. ❋ Arachnejericho (2009)

Right-hander Chris Sampson had surgery to repair a lateral extensor tendon in his throwing elbow. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Mommy thumb mainly affects two tendons — the abductor pollicis longus, or long thumb abductor, and the extensor pollicis brevis, or short thumb extensor. ❋ Dawn Fallik (2010)

It tends to be on extensor surfaces, such as the elbows, knees, and scalp. ❋ Ellen Marmur (2009)

Its attachment to the ungular cartilages and extensor process could prove to be a vital piece of the puzzle in the search to define proper foot function. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Frame 6: As the swinging leg touches the ground, the ground contact sensor in the foot triggers the hip extensor and the knee joint of the standing leg and the hip and knee joints of the swinging leg to swap roles ❋ Unknown (2007)

A weak VMO or Vastus Medialis Oblique, which has been thought to act both as a stabilizer of the patella and as a knee extensor, is often the culprit in cases of knee pain or injury. ❋ William Harryman (2007)

EE did, however produce greater hip flexor and knee extensor moments potentially creating higher mechanical stress at those joints compared to treadmill walking. ❋ William Harryman (2007)

Then we do spinal reflexes - biceps tendon, triceps tendon, crossed extensor reflex, extensor carpi radialis, withdrawl reflex, patellar tendon, gastrocnemius, cranial tibial, and sciatic reflexes. ❋ 1 Dinosaur (2007)

Finally, we get to postural reactions - conscious proprioception, hopping, hemi-walking, wheelbarrowing, extensor thrust, and limb placement unobstructed and "blind". ❋ 1 Dinosaur (2007)

The four pairs of walking legs of chelicerates lack extensor muscles, but possess flexor muscles. ❋ Unknown (2007)

By having a short flexor and a short extensor muscle of the digits. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Lemur exhibits the characteristic arrangement of tarsal bones, possesses a short flexor and short extensor muscle, and a ❋ Unknown (2007)

In the foot, there are also three principal flexor muscles of the digits or toes, and three principal extensors; but one extensor and one flexor are short muscles; that is to say, their fleshy parts are not situated in the leg (which corresponds with the arm), but in the back and in the sole of the foot — regions which correspond with the back and the palm of the hand. ❋ Unknown (2007)

As to the muscles, there is a short flexor, a short extensor, and a ‘peronaeus longus’, while the tendons of the long flexors of the great toe and of the other toes are united together and with an accessory fleshy bundle. ❋ Unknown (2007)
