Hand Muscles

the thenar group of muscles and the hypothenar group of muscle

The other intrinsic groups of muscles lie deep in the hand and include the interosseous muscles, which abduct and adduct digits 2 to 5; the adductor pollicis muscle, which adducts digit 1; and the lumbricals, which assist in flexion of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint and extension of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints

• Reach the hand via the carpal tunnel 
• responsible for flexing the digit and assiting wrist in flexion

• They are arterial arches that seperate the intrinsicn and extrinsic muscles of the forearm
• superficial palmar arch - derived for ulnar artery 
• Deep palmar arch  - derived for radial artery

• thickening of the palmar fasia and this is the distal attachment of the palmar longus 
• -has

deep to the palmar aponeurosis is the recurrent branch of the median nerve

• superfical branch crosses the palm to for the superficial palmar arterial arch
• and deep
