One of the most important of these motions is that of the thumb as placed in opposition to the fingers, and effected by a muscle termed opponens pollicis.

Though the foot of man is furnished with many muscles, like the hand, yet not one of the toes is provided with an "opponens" or muscle, passing from the bones of the ankle to one or other of the bones of the middle of the foot, which latter are called metatarsals.

An "opponens" muscle is one which passes from the bones of the wrist to one or other of the bones of the middle of the hand called metacarpals, and the opponens pollicis passes of course, as its name implies, to the metacarpal of the pollex or thumb.

Claiming emotionalism for opponens, and declaring rationalism as a partisan attribute ends up demonizes opponents for irrational arguments; this is false.

The same condition obtains in the apes, though in them the opponens of the thumb is smaller and weaker than in man.
