The correct Answer is:
To solve the question: "The muscles which on contraction rotates the forearm to make the palm face upward and forward is," we will analyze the options provided and identify the correct muscle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Movement**: The question asks for a muscle that causes the forearm to rotate so that the palm faces upward and forward. This movement is known as supination. 2. **Identifying Muscle Types**: There are two main types of muscles involved in forearm rotation: - **Supinator**: This muscle is responsible for supination, which turns the palm upward. - **Pronator**: This muscle does the opposite; it turns the palm downward (pronation). 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1: Pronator** - This muscle causes the palm to face downward, so it is not the correct answer. - **Option 2: Supinator** - This muscle causes the palm to face upward, making it the correct answer. - **Option 3: Abductor** - This muscle pulls a limb away from the midline, which is unrelated to the movement described in the question. 4. **Conclusion**: The muscle that rotates the forearm to make the palm face upward and forward is the **Supinator**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is the **Supinator** muscle. ---
