extensor's Usage Examples:

There is also a much smaller second extensor on the outer side of this in each limb, the lateral extensor of the phalanges.

On the anterior or extensor surface of the limb a powerful tendon (7 in fig.

Stretching of the muscles antagonistic to the extensors - namely, of the flexor muscles - reduces the jerk by inhibiting the extensor spinal nerve cells through the nervous impulses generated by the tense flexor muscles.

It is a brief extension of the limb at the knee-joint, due to a simple contraction of the extensor muscle, elicited by a tap or other short mechanical stimulus applied to the muscle fibres through the tendon of the muscle.

There is a patella, intercalated in the tendon of the femori-tibialis or extensor cruris muscle.

In the fore-leg the tendon of this muscle (which corresponds with the extensor minimi digiti of man) receives a slip from that of the principal extensor, and is inserted into the first phalanx.

2), that of the anterior extensor of the phalanges (corresponding to the extensor communis digitorum of the arm and extensor longus digitorum of the foot of man) passes down over the metacarpal bone and phalanges, to be inserted mainly into the upper edge of the anterior surface of the last phalanx or pedal bone.

The motor cells of the extensor muscles, when preoccupied by cerebral influence, appear refractory.

If the sensory nerves of the extensor muscle be severed, the "jerk" is lost.

This runs down the anterior and outer side of the upper arm, and is attached to the proximal tendon of the extensor metacarpi radialis longus, a little below the outer condyle of the humerus.

extensor's Meaning':

a skeletal muscle whose contraction extends or stretches a body part
