Thumb is the one of the major part of our body first of all let me explain the an anatomy of the Thumb according to my medical profession. The attachment of the thumb which makes it move forward and backward consist of three major muscles which includes abductor pollicis brevis (APB), flexor pollicis brevis (FBB) and opponens pollicis (OPP). Thumb has two interphalangeal joint and one carpo-metacarpal joint.

These muscles mainly move the thumb and also make a triangle shape and anatomical landmark on our body which is also known as "Anatomical Snuffbox" there is actually no clinical significance of this but because it is found on the human body that's why it is given an name.

1. Grasping;

---

Now let's talk about the importance of thumb in our daily life the first and the main function of the thumb is "Grasping" our majority of the daily activities required our thumb to grasp it, for example water is essential for our life we all know this but to drink water first of all we need our hand to rotate the tap so that it can give us water when the water is falling from that tap we need a glass to grasp in our hand so that we can fill water in it and to drink that water we also required grasping and all of this function is impossible without our thumb.

2. Expressing Emotion's Non-Verbally;

---

And other important thing for the thumb is we also use it to express our emotions this is also now commonly used on the social media apps if something is going on very nicely and we agree with it then we give our response of "thumbs up". The same feature is also introduced on the social media app where we can like someone post or video by just giving at thumbs up, and if we did not agree with it or we do not like it we can also give a thumbs down. This is how nonverbally we can express our emotions.

3. Writing and checking pulse;

---

No doubt education is one of the important element of our life and education is impossible without writing and writing requireds our thumb to grasp a pencil or pen in our hand so that we can write. We sign our documents we write our important notes all of this is this possible by using the thumb.
Doctors also check the radial pulse or anything by using the thumb. It have multiple significance in our life.

4. Using phone;

---

Using phone is also very difficult task for us if we do not have thumb in our human body because scrolling requireds our thumb very much and some people are so addicted that they use all of their phone by just using a single thumb this scroll multiple apps and also use thumb for the typing of messages.
