Table 2

General features of the extensor pollicis brevis muscle based on Aversi-Ferreira et al. [5]. In primates other than Ce, only the differences in muscle parameters from Ce are indicated.

Muscle	Parameters	Ce ()	Hu ()	Ch ()	Ba ()
Extensor pollicis brevis	Origin ( = 2)	Proximal third of the radius and interosseous membrane	Single insertion in distal phalange of the thumb	Highly similar to Ce	Absent
	Insertion ( = 3)	Articular capsule of the trapezoid-metacarpal I articulation and the base of this last bone
	Innervation ( = 1)	Posterior interosseous nerve
	Vascularization ( = 4)	Posterior interosseous artery
