The muscle originates from the anterior and medial elbow (ulna), then goes about half way down the forearm. The muscles long tendons extend through the carpal tunnel at the wrist and attach to each finger. The flexor digitorum profundis flexes the joints of the index, middle, ring and little fingers.
