Answer: action, shape, region

Just by analyzing the name of the muscle we can tell the action he does: Pronation (turn the palm down). By that term we also know the region because the only body part that does pronation is the forearm. Also, pronator teres indicates that it has a rounded, cylindrical shape because teres means "rounded".
