Palmar Musculature | The Hypothenar Muscles

The video tutorial explains the differences between extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the hand. It focuses on intrinsic muscles, specifically the thenar and hypothenar muscles. The thenar muscles control thumb movements and are innervated by the median nerve. The hypothenar muscles, which include the abductor digiti minimi, flexor digiti minimi brevis, and opponens digiti minimi, control the pinky and are innervated by the ulnar nerve. The video concludes with a summary and a preview of the next topic on intrinsic hand muscles.

How does the flexor digiti minimi brevis differ from the abductor digiti minimi in terms of function?

What is the role of the opponens digiti minimi muscle?

Identify the innervation of the hypothenar muscles.
