- Median antebrachial veinVena mediana antebrachiiA superficial vein running up the middle of the anterior forearm from the palm towards the elbow.
- Median cubital veinVena mediana cubitiA short superficial vein crossing the front of the elbow that links the cephalic vein to the basilic vein.
- Median nerveNervus medianusA major nerve of the upper limb, formed by roots from two plexus cords, that reaches the hand by the carpal tunnel.
- Middle collateral arteryArteria collateralis mediaThe posterior terminal branch of the deep artery of the arm, running down within triceps to the network behind the elbow.
- Middle glenohumeral ligamentLigamentum glenohumerale mediumThe middle of the three glenohumeral ligaments, a band across the front of the shoulder capsule from glenoid rim to lesser tubercle.
- Middle trunk of brachial plexusTruncus medius plexus brachialisThe middle trunk of the brachial plexus, the direct continuation of the C7 ventral ramus between the scalene muscles.
- Muscular branches of axillary nerveRami musculares nervi axillarisThe motor branches of the axillary nerve, given behind the surgical neck of the humerus to the deltoid and teres minor.
- Muscular branches of median nerveRami musculares nervi medianiThe motor branches of the median nerve, supplying most flexor muscles of the forearm and the thenar muscles of the hand.
- Muscular branches of radial nerveRami musculares nervi radialisThe motor branches the radial nerve gives in the arm and at the elbow to triceps, anconeus, brachioradialis and the long radial wrist extensor.
- Muscular branches of ulnar nerveRami musculares nervi ulnarisThe branches the ulnar nerve gives near the elbow to flexor carpi ulnaris and the ulnar half of flexor digitorum profundus.
- Musculocutaneous nerveNervus musculocutaneusA nerve from the brachial plexus's lateral cord that supplies the front muscles of the arm and the skin of the lateral forearm.
- Oblique cordChorda obliquaA small flat ligament in the upper forearm, passing from the ulnar tuberosity down and outwards to the radius just below its tuberosity.
- Oblique head of adductor pollicisCaput obliquum adductoris pollicisThe oblique head of adductor pollicis is the upper part of the thumb adductor, arising from the central bones at the base of the palm.
- Opponens digiti minimi muscle of handMusculus opponens digiti minimi manusOpponens digiti minimi is the deepest hypothenar muscle, rolling the little finger metacarpal forward to cup the palm.
- Opponens pollicis muscleMusculus opponens pollicisOpponens pollicis is a thenar muscle at the base of the thumb that turns the thumb across the palm to meet the fingers.
- Palmar branch of median nerveRamus palmaris nervi medianiA cutaneous branch of the median nerve that leaves it above the wrist and crosses over the flexor retinaculum to the palm.
- Palmar branch of ulnar nerveRamus palmaris nervi ulnarisA small cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve that arises in the forearm and supplies skin over the hypothenar side of the palm and wrist.
- Palmar carpal branch of radial arteryRamus carpeus palmaris arteriae radialisA small branch of the radial artery that crosses the front of the lower radius to form the palmar carpal network with the ulnar artery.
- Palmar digital veinsVenae digitales palmaresSmall veins on the palmar side of the fingers that drain the finger pads and communicate with the dorsal veins and the palmar venous arches.
- Palmar interossei musclesMusculi interossei palmaresThe palmar interossei are small muscles between the metacarpals that pull the fingers together towards the middle finger.
- Palmar metacarpal arteriesArteriae metacarpeae palmaresThree or four small arteries from the deep palmar arch that run distally over the interossei towards the finger clefts.
- Palmar radio-ulnar ligamentLigamentum radioulnare palmareA narrow band on the front of the distal radio-ulnar joint, joining the front rim of the radius's ulnar notch to the ulnar head.
- Palmaris longus muscleMusculus palmaris longusPalmaris longus is a slim, often absent forearm muscle whose long tendon runs to the palm and tightens the palmar aponeurosis.
- Posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus posterior antebrachiiA cutaneous branch of the radial nerve, given in the arm, that supplies a strip of skin down the back of the forearm.
