Flexor tendons at wrist

Flexor carpi ulnaris can be easily felt by flexing the wrist against resistance. It is the medial most tendon. Another tendon shown but not labeled here is that of palmaris longus. Remember this muscle is absent in 10% of the population. It comes into prominence by opposing thumb to little finger and flexing the wrist.
