pronator teres in dogs

The pronator teres is a muscle of the human body (located mainly in the forearm) that, along with the pronator quadratus, serves to pronate the forearm (turning it so the palm faces posteriorly). [WP,unvetted]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
