extensor

The main extensor muscle of the thigh is attached to this ridge.

Fine scales usually develop on the back and over muscles near the joints, such as an elbow or knee (extensor muscles).

These flattened tendons (aponeurosis) of extensor muscles span the proximal and middle phalanges.

This decreases the rate of muscle shortening and increases the force generated by extensor muscles during the push off phase.

The long digital extensor muscle (usually in the hind limb) is the muscle that appears to be the most affected by this condition.

The dorsal surface, broad and flat, supports the tendons of the extensor muscles.

The hammer strikes a tendon that inserts an extensor muscle in the front of the thigh into the lower leg.

Unlike most arthropods, spiders have no extensor muscles in their limbs and instead extend them by hydraulic pressure.

Most often, the extensor muscles become painful due to tendon breakdown from over-extension.

The anterior five segments of the crayfish house the massive flexor and extensor muscles.
