VELEZ-GARCIA, Juan Fernando  and  CASTANEDA, Fabián E. PRIMATES' CAUDOMEDIAL FOREARM MUSCLE FIXATION: A REVIEW AND ADAPTATION TO VETERINARY ANATOMICAL TERMINOLOGY. Bol. Cient. Mus. Hist. Nat. Univ. Caldas [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.1, pp.126-140. ISSN 0123-3068.  https://doi.org/10.17151/bccm.2016.20.1.10.

The caudal-medial forearm muscles of primates present their attachments in the arm, forearm and hand bones to carry out suitable functions for their locomotion pattern, as well as they may present intraspecific and interspecific similarities and variationswhich allow finding that at some point they shared a common ancestor.On the other hand, the veterinary surgeon may take them into account when making a surgical approach that involves the distal-medial face of the arm and the caudal-medial face of the forearm.Therefore, this paper reviews the origins and insertions of forearm caudal-medial muscles, presenting a comparative analysis between different species of primates.

Keywords : Antebrachial; insertion; myology; origin.
