Flexor pollicis longus (FPL) muscle is one of the two muscles that make up the third layer of the anterior compartment of the forearm along with the flexor digitorum profundus muscle. It is a deep muscle under the abductor pollicis brevis muscle. It passes through the carpal tunnel. It is one of the extrinsic muscles of the hand.
