give me origin and insertion nerve and blood supply of all the upper and lower limb muscles in the shortest possible way in tabular form
Reading File
Given the scope of this question (all upper and lower limb muscles - that's 100+ muscles), and the tool budget constraints, I'll answer from my comprehensive anatomical knowledge rather than iterating through the database piecemeal, which would exhaust the budget without covering everything.
Here are the tables - organized by region for clarity, kept maximally concise.
