| tendon sheath of extensor pollicis longus muscle | <anatomy> The synovial sheath surrounding the extensor pollicis longus tendon in its passage deep to the extensor retinaculum. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi extensoris pollicis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |

| tendon sheath of flexor pollicis longus muscle | <anatomy> The synovial sheath that envelops the tendon of the flexor pollicis longus in its course through the carpal canal; it is continuous with the digital sheath of the thumb, the two generally being considered as one sheath. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi flexoris pollicis longi, radial bursa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extensor pollicis brevis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, dorsal surface of radius; insertion, base of proximal phalanx of thumb; action, extends and abducts the thumb; nerve supply, radial. Synonym: musculus extensor pollicis brevis, musculus extensor brevis pollicis, short extensor muscle of thumb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extensor pollicis longus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, posterior surface of ulna; insertion, base of distal phalanx of thumb; action, extends distal phalanx of thumb; nerve supply, radial. Synonym: musculus extensor pollicis longus, long extensor muscle of thumb, musculus extensor longus pollicis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flexor pollicis brevis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, superficial portion from flexor retinaculum of wrist, deep portion from ulnar side of first metacarpal bone; insertion, base of proximal phalanx of thumb; action, flexes proximal phalanx of thumb; nerve supply, median (superficial head) and deep branch of ulnar (deep head). Some authors consider the deep head to be the first in a series of four palmar interossei muscles of the hand. Synonym: musculus flexor pollicis brevis, short flexor muscle of thumb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flexor pollicis longus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, anterior surface of middle third of radius; insertion, distal phalanx of thumb; action, flexes distal phalanx of thumb; nerve supply, median palmar interosseous. Synonym: musculus flexor pollicis longus, long flexor muscle of thumb, musculus flexor longus pollicis. (05 Mar 2000) |
