Traced distally itdivides into six portions, one for each of the four radial digits andtwo for the minimus. The portions for the second, third and fourthdigits when traced distally are found to divide each into two slipswhich diverge to fade out in the fibrous tissue covering the sides ofthe metacarpo-phalangeal joint, allowing the profundus tendon to passbetween them and become superficial. The portion to the pollex, how-ever, does not divide into two slips, but passes entirely to
