The thenar musculature consists of four muscles:
- the abductor pollicis brevis,
- the adductor pollicis,
- the flexor pollicis brevis, and
- the opponens pollicis.

Located on the radial side of the palm, they form together the 'ball' of the thumb known as the thenar eminence. They originate at different carpal bones and distally attach to the thumb. Innervated by the median and/or ulnar nerves, those muscles are responsible for moving the thumb in several directions, allowing you to show someone 'thumbs up' for a job well done.

The full version of this video tutorial examines the thenar muscles of the hand in detail, looking at the origins, insertions, innervation and functions of those important anatomical structures of the hand.
