Anatomical terms of muscle
[edit on Wikidata]
In human anatomy, the palmar or volar interossei (interossei volares in older literature) are four muscles, one on the thumb that is occasionally missing, and three small, unipennate, central muscles in the hand that lie between the metacarpal bones and are attached to the index, ring, and little fingers.[1] They are smaller than the dorsal interossei of the hand.
