In the context of wrist and hand movements, opposition refers to the movement of the thumb across the palmar aspect to oppose any or all of the phalanges.

True

The extensor carpi ulnaris and the flexor carpi ulnaris are the only muscles involved in ulnar deviation (adduction).

True

The extensor digitorum is the only muscle involved in extension of all four fingers.

True

The three wrist flexors, form medial to lateral, are the flexor carpi ulnaris, palmaris longus, and flexor carpi radialis.

True

The wrist flexor muscles have their origin on the medial epicondyle of the humerus.

True

To stretch the flexor carpi ulnaris, the elbow must be fully extended with the forearm supinated while a partner passively extends and abducts the wrist.

True
