Description
The palmaris brevis is a small, flat muscle located in the palm of the hand. It originates on the flexor retinaculum and the palmar aponeurosis, and inserts on the skin of the palm.
The main function of the palmaris brevis is to wrinkle the skin of the palm and to protect the underlying structures of the palm, such as the nerves and blood vessels.
