The |flexor carpi radialis| is located on the upper half of the forearm. It originates at the |humerus| (upper arm bone) and extends down the arm developing into a wide, flat ~tendon~ about one-third of the way down the arm and inserts in the base of the |metacarpal bones| of the index and middle fingers deep in the palm. This muscle bends and turns the hand at the wrist.
