PRONATOR TERES

The pronator teres (pronator radii teres) is a short, round, deep arm muscle. It originates high on the humerus , slightly higher than the flexor mass on the forearm. The muscle ends in a flat tendon which inserts in the radius. It is innervated by the median nerve and supplied by branches of the ulnar artery and the radial artery. This muscle pronates the forearm and assists in bending the elbow.
