Abductor hallucis muscle the base of the first proximal phalanx and its related sesamoid bone. Its medial surface is superficial and covered with the muscle's fascia and the skin. Abductor hallucis is innervated by the medial plantar nerve. The nerves that supply it enter the muscle from its upper border. The deep tendon reflex of the abductor hallucis. was first described and demonstrated by Dr. M. W. Spanakos. Abductor hallucis muscle The abductor hallucis muscle is an intrinsic muscle of the foot. It participates in the abduction and flexion of the great toe. The abductor hallucis muscle is located in the medial border
Opponens pollicis muscle Opponens pollicis muscle The opponens pollicis is a small, triangular muscle in the hand, which functions to oppose the thumb. It is one of the three thenar muscles, lying deep to the abductor pollicis brevis and lateral to the flexor pollicis brevis. The opponens pollicis originates from the flexor retinaculum of the hand and the tubercle of the trapezium. It passes downward and laterally, and is inserted into the whole length of the metacarpal bone of the thumb on its radial side. Like the other thenar muscles, the opponens pollicis is innervated by the recurrent branch of the median nerve.
