Supinator Radii Longus.

THis is called Longus,* 1.1 because it obtaineth the longest belly of all the Muscles which do creep about the Cubite.

This ariseth from the middle of the Os Humeri, and running obliquely over the Radius, at its bottom it becomes a Membra∣nous Tendon, and is fastned to the upper part of the Appendix of the said Radius, inclining somewhat inwards.

If this and its Companion be contracted towards their Origi∣nations they do move the Radius forwards▪ as also the Hand,* 1.2 the which is tied to the lower part of the Radius by the benefit of the Carpus.

This you have at Tab. 23. Fig. 1. at C. a. Shewing its be∣ginning, b. Its Tendon, D. Shews the same laid bare at Fig. 2. Tab. 23. a. Shews its beginning, b. b. Its Tendon.
