opponens pollicus, abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis, adductor pollicis
ORIGIN of the opponens pollicis
tubercle of trapezium and flexor retinaculum
INSERTION of the opponens pollicis
anterolateral aspect of the first metacarpal body
ACTION of the opponens pollicis
opposition of the thumb (flexion of CMC joint medially across the palm, abduction of CMC joint)
INNERVATION of the opponens pollicis
recurrent branch of the median nerve (c8-t1), and ulnar nerve (c8-t1)
ORIGIN of the abductor pollicis brevis
tubercle of scaphoid and trapezium, flexor retinaculum
INSERTION of the abductor pollicis brevis
radial side of the proximal phalanx base (thumb)
ACTION of the abductor pollicis brevis
adduction at CMC and MCP joints of thumb, assists thumb opposition and IP extension
INNERVATION of the abductor pollicis brevis
recurrent branch of median nerve (c8-t1)
ORIGIN of the flexor pollicis brevis
superficial head: crest of trapezium and flexor retinaculum
deep head: trapezoid and capitate bones, palmar ligaments of distal row of carpal bones
INSERTION of the flexor pollicis brevis
lateral side of proximal phalanx base
ACTION of the flexor pollicis brevis
flexion of MP and CMC joints of thumb, assists in thumb opposition
INNERVATION of the flexor pollicis brevis
superficial head: recurrent branch of median nerve (c8-t1)
deep head: ulnar nerve (c8-t1)
