Znam sta su, ali koji je izraz na srpskom (slobodno i na hrvatskom ako deluje kao da bi moglo biti isto)?

suprotstavljivi palčevi


Explanation:
Musculus opponens pollicis je na srpskom SUPROTILAC palca. Funkcija mu je da SUPROTSTAVLJA palac ostalim prstima. Pridev znacenja koje se trazi bi trebalo da glasi SUPROTSTAVLJIV (Stevanović). Ukoliko medju čitaocima ima lingvista koji se bolje razumeju u tvorbu reči, prepuštam im zadnju reč.

Bilo kako bilo, nikada se nisam susreo s ovim pridevom u anatomiji čoveka. Meni lično zvuči rogobatno. Uobičajeno je reći "mogućnost opozicije palca", pa možda ne bi bilo loše takav prevod uklopiti u kontekst. Moguće je da u evoluciji postoji odomaćen termin koji bi bio direktan prevod, ali na žalost, takav mi nije poznat.

palac u opoziciji (prema ostalim prstima)


Explanation:
OpposABLE - mozda... opozicLJIV ;)
Mislim da resenje "palac u opoziciji" zvuci "najtehnickije" (a ima i naucnu potvrdu - v. navedeni sajt), s tim sto bih ja dodao i "prema ostalim prstima" ukoliko se ne radi o uskostrucnom tekstu - cisto da se neko ne zbuni...
