Extra: The recurrent branch of the median nerve (Million Dollar Nerve) is purely motor, supplying the thenar muscles: **O**pponens pollicis, **A**bductor pollicis brevis, and **F**lexor pollicis brevis (superficial head). Sensation is spared because the palmar cutaneous and digital branches originate separately. Lumbricals are also spared (no clawing) as they are supplied by the digital branches.
