#Thenar December 29

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

For December 2023, several of us are participating in the “30-Day ANATOMY Coach4aday Challenge.” My choice today is the THENAR.

During this challenge, the participants select a bone or muscle in the human body, providing details about its location and physiological significance.

How the Challenge Works

  1. Identify one anatomical part of the body.
  2. Describe what its purpose is.
  3. Describe where it is located.

Identify Your Choice

Today my selection is actually a group of muscles called the Thenar.

Purpose

The thenar muscles, located at the base of the thumb, play a crucial role in controlling thumb movements and enabling precision grip. These muscles allow you to grasp objects between your thumb and fingers, contributing to activities such as writing, holding a tool, or picking up small items.

My purpose in life is to coach. I am a former collegiate basketball coach, director of athletics, and chief of staff. I worked at four NCAA Division I & II universities during my career. At each campus I learned timeless lessons on teamwork and leadership. Today my passion is coaching others on what it takes to lead, serve, and succeed.
