Unlike the flexor digitorum profundus, flexor digitorum superficialis has independent muscle slips for all four digits.

The flexor digitorum superficialis is an extrinsic muscle that allows the four medial fingers of the hand to flex. These fingers include the index, middle, ring, and pinkie fingers
