  2. Muscles of the hand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_the_hand

    The muscles of the hand can be subdivided into two groups: the extrinsic and intrinsic muscle groups. The extrinsic muscle groups are the long flexors and extensors. They are called extrinsic because the muscle belly is located on the forearm. The intrinsic group are the smaller muscles located within the hand itself. The muscles of the hand ...

  3. Thenar eminence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thenar_eminence

    The thenar eminence is the mound formed at the base of the thumb on the palm of the hand by the intrinsic group of muscles of the thumb. [1] The skin overlying this region is the area stimulated when trying to elicit a palmomental reflex. The word thenar comes from Ancient Greek θέναρ (thenar) 'palm of the hand'. [2]

  4. Muscles of the thumb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_the_thumb

    The muscles of the thumb are nine skeletal muscles located in the hand and forearm. The muscles allow for flexion, extension, adduction, abduction and opposition of the thumb. The muscles acting on the thumb can be divided into two groups: The extrinsic hand muscles, with their muscle bellies located in the forearm, and the intrinsic hand ...

  5. Palmar aponeurosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmar_aponeurosis

    The lateral and medial portions of the palmar aponeurosis are thin, fibrous layers, which cover, on the radial side, the muscles of the ball of the thumb, and, on the ulnar side, the muscles of the little finger; they are continuous with the central portion and with the fascia on the dorsum of the hand.

  6. Abductor pollicis brevis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Abductor_pollicis_brevis_muscle

    The abductor pollicis brevis is a flat, thin muscle located just under the skin. It is a thenar muscle, and therefore contributes to the bulk of the palm's thenar eminence. It originates from the flexor retinaculum of the hand, the tubercle of the scaphoid bone, and additionally sometimes from the tubercle of the trapezium.

  7. Thumb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumb

    Other researchers use another definition, [4] referring to opposition-apposition as the transition between flexion-abduction and extension-adduction; the side of the distal thumb phalanx thus approximated to the palm or the hand's radial side (side of index finger) during apposition and the pulp or "palmar" side of the distal thumb phalanx ...

  8. Lumbricals of the hand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbricals_of_the_hand

    The lumbricals are four, small, worm-like muscles on each hand. These muscles are unusual in that they do not attach to bone. Instead, they attach proximally to the tendons of flexor digitorum profundus, [1] [2] [3] and distally to the extensor expansions.

  9. Abductor digiti minimi muscle of the hand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abductor_digiti_minimi...

    In human anatomy, the abductor digiti minimi (abductor minimi digiti, abductor digiti quinti, ADM) is a skeletal muscle situated on the ulnar border of the palm of the hand. It forms the ulnar border of the palm and its spindle-like shape defines the hypothenar eminence of the palm together with the skin, connective tissue, and fat surrounding it.
