The document describes the muscles of the anterior forearm compartment, dividing them into superficial, intermediate, and deep groups. The superficial muscles are the flexor carpi ulnaris, palmaris longus, and flexor carpi radialis, which originate from the medial epicondyle and function to flex and adduct the wrist. The intermediate muscle is the flexor digitorum superficialis, which originates from the medial epicondyle and radius and flexes the fingers. The deep muscles are the flexor digitorum profundus and flexor pollicis longus, which originate from the ulna and radius and flex the fingers and thumb.
