flexor muscle

A skeletal muscle whose contraction bends a joint. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the flexor muscle is

A skeletal muscle whose contraction bends a joint. The atlas records it as a muscle at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the flexor muscle is

It sits within the muscular system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What the flexor muscle connects to

The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 2 kinds of connection. a kind of organism subdivision and skeletal muscle organ, vertebrate.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the flexor muscle. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Questions

Where is the flexor muscle?

It sits within the muscular system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What does the flexor muscle connect to?

A kind of: organism subdivision and skeletal muscle organ, vertebrate.

Is the flexor muscle the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
