Thenar

Thenar is an elevation located at the base of the thumb. It is a muscle group that is responsible for movement and control of the thumb. The thenar consists of three muscles: the proximal fasciculus major muscle, the pollicis brevis muscle, and the pollicis intermedius muscle.

While the muscles of the little finger are located at the base of the five fingers, the thenar is located only at the base of the thumb. The thenar provides the thumb with the force needed to squeeze and grasp objects and also controls the movement of the thumb.

The thenar is an important component of hand anatomy and plays a role in many daily activities such as typing, writing, playing musical instruments and other fine movements. It is also important for professional athletes such as golfers, tennis players and baseball players, who use the thumb to hold and control sports instruments.

In addition, the thenar can be susceptible to various disorders such as tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendons in the thenar area) as well as carpal tunnel syndrome, where the nerve running through the canal in the wrist becomes compressed in the thenar area and leads to numbness and pain in the thumb.

Overall, the thenar plays an important role in the anatomy and function of the hand, providing control and strength to the thumb. Thenar disorders can have a significant impact on daily activities and sporting activities, so it is important to see a specialist if any symptoms occur.

The tenar is a prominence located at the base of the thumb of the human hand and plays a large role in the structure of the palm. This term, which came into English from Greek and Ancient Greek, refers to the tapering upward triangular part of the tip of the thumb, which is one of the fulcrum points of the large curved bone (metacarpal bone).

The prominence of the thumb is always present when the hand is flexed or clenched into a fist, and occupies a place in front of and between the two phalanges (main bones) of the thumb. In the hand, this area is located at the intersection of the articular surfaces of the metacarpophalangeal, metacarpal and radiocarpal

Tenar (lat. thenar) is an elevation (or metacarpophalangeal joint) on the palm, opposite the 3rd finger, to which the muscles that flex the fingers and extend the palm are attached. The part of the forearm bones located near the fingers. A kind of “tubercle” on the palm that limits (limited the movements of the fingers) and protects the three flexors of the first fingers (the first extensor of the 5th, the 2nd extensor of each of the remaining 4). One of the nine fingers of the hand also has a small tubercle, which is not considered an independent anatomical formation or part of the palm. Previously, it was mistaken for an atavism of the thumb, since it was believed that the thumb was excluded from it, in
