( Hypothenar eminence labeled at center right. ) Transverse section across the wrist and digits. ( Muscles of little finger labeled at upper right. ) Details Insertion 5th metacarpal and proximal phalynx Artery ulnar artery Nerve deep branch of ulnar nerve Actions control movement of the 5th digit Identifiers Latin eminentia hypothenaris TA A01. 2.07. 024 FMA 61523 Anatomical terms of muscle ( edit on Wikidata ) The hypothenar muscles are a group of three muscles of the palm that control the motion of the little finger. Carpal tunnel and thenar and hypothenar eminences The three muscles are : Abductor digiti minimi Flexor digiti minimi brevis Opponens digiti minimi Contents 1 Structure 2 Clinical significance 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Structure The muscles of hypothenar eminence are from lateral to medial : Opponens digiti minimi Flexor digiti minimi brevis Abductor digiti minimi The intrinsic muscles of hand can be remembered using the mnemonic, `` A OF A OF A '' for, Abductor pollicis brevis, Opponens pollicis, Flexor pollicis brevis ( the three thenar muscles ), Adductor pollicis, and the three hypothenar muscles, Opponens digiti minimi, Flexor digiti minimi, Abductor digiti minimi. Clinical significance `` Hypothenar atrophy '' is associated with the lesion of the ulnar nerve, which supplies the three hypothenar muscles. Hypothenar hammer syndrome is a vascular occlusion of this region.
