An Extensor Carpi Digitorum is a deep
muscle located on the dorsal surface
of each hand.
This muscle is on the syllabus of many basic-level health-care
courses, such as ITEC Diplomas.
For
an illustration of the general location of the extensor carpi
digitorum muscle(s),

An "extensor" is any muscle that causes the straightening of a limb
or another part of the body.
