The hypothenar eminence comprises:

  • abductor digiti minimi
  • flexor digiti minimi
  • opponens digiti minimi

These muscles help to cup the palm and assist in grip of a large object. They are supplied by the ulnar nerve - T1. The hypothenar space is a potential compartment enclosing the hypothenar muscles.
