Answer:

The five muscles are as follows-

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Flexor pollicis longus: Helps us to bend the tip of the thumb.
  • Flexor digitorum profundus: Helps us to bend our index, middle, ring and small fingers.
  • Flexor digitorum superficialis: Helps to bend the middle joint of each finger, except for the thumb, which allows us to do things such as eating with chopsticks.
  • Flexor carpi ulnaris: This muscle helps to move and adduct the wrist away from the thumb.
  • Flexor carpi radialis: It Helps to bend the wrist and move the wrist toward the thumb.
