Nerves · Upper limbDorsal digital branches of radial nerveRami digitales dorsales nervi radialisThe terminal cutaneous branches of the superficial radial nerve on the back of the thumb and the lateral fingers.
Nerves · Lower limbDorsal digital branches of superficial fibular nerveRami digitales dorsales nervi fibularis superficialisSensory nerves on the top of the foot that carry feeling from the dorsal skin of most of the toes, up to the last phalanges.
Nerves · Upper limbDorsal digital branches of ulnar nerveRami digitales dorsales nervi ulnarisThe terminal branches of the ulnar nerve's dorsal branch, supplying skin on the back of the ring and little fingers.
Veins · FootDorsal digital veins of footVenae digitales dorsales pedisSmall superficial veins along the upper borders of the toes that drain the skin of the toes into the dorsal venous arch of the foot.
Veins · Upper limbDorsal digital veins of handVenae digitales dorsales manusSmall superficial veins running along the backs of the fingers that unite to form the dorsal metacarpal veins of the hand.
Joints and ligaments · HandDorsal intercarpal ligamentsLigamenta intercarpea dorsaliaTransverse fibrous bands across the back of the wrist that bind the carpal bones to one another.
Joints and ligaments · FootDorsal intercuneiform ligamentsLigamenta intercuneiformia dorsaliaShort transverse bands on the top of the midfoot that tie each cuneiform bone to its neighbour.
Muscles · Lower limbDorsal interossei muscles of footMusculi interossei dorsales pedisIn the foot, the dorsal interossei are small two-headed muscles filling the gaps between the metatarsals and spreading the toes from the second toe.
Muscles · Upper limbDorsal interossei muscles of handMusculi interossei dorsales manusThe dorsal interossei of the hand are small two-headed muscles between the metacarpals that spread the index and ring fingers and swing the middle finger.
Arteries · Upper limbDorsal metacarpal arteriesArteriae metacarpeae dorsalesArteries on the back of the hand that run distally over the interosseous spaces and split into dorsal digital arteries at the finger webs.
Joints and ligaments · HandDorsal metacarpal ligamentsLigamenta metacarpea dorsaliaShort transverse bands on the back of the hand joining the bases of neighbouring finger metacarpals at the intermetacarpal joints.
Arteries · FootDorsal metatarsal arteriesArteriae metatarseae dorsalesFour small arteries on the back of the foot that run along the intermetatarsal spaces and divide into dorsal digital arteries for the toes.
Joints and ligaments · FootDorsal metatarsal ligamentsLigamenta metatarsea dorsaliaShort transverse bands on the top of the forefoot that join the bases of neighbouring metatarsal bones.
Veins · FootDorsal metatarsal veinsVenae metatarseae dorsalesVeins on the top of the forefoot that collect blood from the toes and drain into the dorsal venous arch of the foot.
Muscles · BackDorsal parts of lateral intertransversarii lumborum musclesPartes dors. musculorum intertransversariorum lat. lumborumThe dorsal parts of the lateral lumbar intertransversarii are small slips linking the accessory process of one lumbar vertebra to the transverse process below.
Joints and ligaments · Upper limbDorsal radio-ulnar ligamentLigamentum radioulnare dorsaleA band on the back of the distal radio-ulnar joint, joining the dorsal edge of the radius's ulnar notch to the ulnar head.
Joints and ligaments · HandDorsal radiocarpal ligamentLigamentum radiocarpeum dorsaleThe main ligament on the back of the wrist joint, running obliquely from the distal radius to the proximal row of carpal bones.
Joints and ligaments · HandDorsal scaphotriquetral ligamentLigamentum scaphotriquetrum dorsaleA band on the back of the wrist that runs across the proximal carpal row from the triquetrum to the scaphoid.
Nerves · NeckDorsal scapular nerveNervus dorsalis scapulaeA slender motor nerve from the fifth cervical root that runs down the back of the neck to the rhomboids and levator scapulae.
Joints and ligaments · FootDorsal tarsometatarsal ligamentsLigamenta tarsometatarsea dorsaliaFlat fibrous bands on the upper surface of the midfoot that bind the distal row of tarsal bones to the bases of the metatarsals.
Joints and ligaments · HandDorsal ulnocarpal ligamentLigamentum ulnocarpeum dorsaleA thin band on the back of the wrist's ulnar side, joining the region of the ulnar head and articular disc to the carpus.
Veins · FootDorsal venous arch of footArcus venosus dorsalis pedisA superficial venous arch across the top of the foot that collects blood from the toes and gives rise to both saphenous veins.
Veins · Upper limbDorsal venous network of handRete venosum dorsale manusA web of superficial veins on the back of the hand that collects the finger veins and gives rise to the cephalic and basilic veins.
Arteries · FootDorsalis pedis arteryArteria dorsalis pedisThe main artery on the back of the foot, continuing the anterior tibial artery from the ankle to the first intermetatarsal space.
