Arteries · Upper limbDeep palmar archArcus palmaris profundusAn arterial arch lying deep in the palm on the metacarpal bases, formed mainly by the radial artery with a branch of the ulnar.
Veins · Upper limbDeep venous palmar archArcus venosus palmaris profundusA paired venous arch deep in the palm, running with the deep palmar arterial arch across the bases of the metacarpals.
Nerves · Upper limbDorsal branch of ulnar nerveRamus dorsalis nervi ulnarisA cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve that leaves it above the wrist to supply the skin over the medial dorsum of the hand.
Arteries · Upper limbDorsal carpal anastomosisRete dorsale carpiThe network of small arteries on the back of the wrist, lying on the carpal bones beneath the extensor tendons.
Arteries · Upper limbDorsal carpal branch of ulnar arteryRamus carpeus dorsalis arteriae ulnarisA small branch of the ulnar artery that winds round the ulnar side of the wrist to join the network on its back.
Arteries · Upper limbDorsal digital arteries of handArteriae digitales dorsales manusSmall arteries on the back of the fingers, formed where each dorsal metacarpal artery splits at the finger cleft.
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 · 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 · 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.
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 · 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.
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.
Muscles · Upper limbExtensor carpi radialis brevisExtensor radialis brevis carpiThe short radial wrist extensor runs from the lateral epicondyle on the humerus to the third metacarpal, lifting the wrist.
Muscles · Upper limbExtensor carpi radialis longusExtensor radialis longus carpiExtensor carpi radialis longus runs from the lower humerus down the thumb side of the forearm to the second metacarpal, extending and abducting the wrist.
Muscles · Upper limbExtensor digiti minimiExtensor digiti minimi is a slender muscle on the back of the forearm that straightens the little finger independently of the others.
Muscles · Upper limbExtensor digitorumExtensor digitorum is the main finger extensor on the back of the forearm, sending a tendon to each of the four fingers.
Muscles · Upper limbExtensor indicisExtensor indicis is a narrow deep muscle of the back of the forearm that lets the index finger straighten on its own.
Muscles · Upper limbExtensor pollicis brevisExtensor brevis pollicisExtensor pollicis brevis is a short deep forearm muscle that extends the thumb at its knuckle and borders the anatomical snuffbox.
Muscles · Upper limbExtensor pollicis longusExtensor longus pollicisExtensor pollicis longus is a deep forearm muscle whose tendon hooks round a radial tubercle to straighten the tip of the thumb.
Muscles · Upper limbFlexor carpi radialisFlexor radialis carpiFlexor carpi radialis is a superficial muscle of the front of the forearm that bends the wrist and tilts the hand towards the thumb.
Muscles · Upper limbFlexor digiti minimi of handFlexor digiti minimi manusFlexor digiti minimi brevis, a small hypothenar muscle, lies in the palm and bends the little finger at its knuckle.
Muscles · Upper limbFlexor digitorum profundusFlexor profundus digitorumFlexor digitorum profundus is the deep finger flexor of the forearm, the only muscle able to bend the fingertips at their last joint.
Muscles · Upper limbFlexor pollicis longusFlexor longus pollicisFlexor pollicis longus is a deep muscle on the front of the forearm that bends the tip of the thumb.
