Palm of hand anatomy. Profundus tendons which pass through the palm side of the wrist and hand. The image below shows the bones of the hand from the back side. Areas of the human hand include.

Other muscles in the palm attachments. The palm comprises the underside of the human hand. The palm includes five metacarpals and each finger except the thumb contains one proximal phalanx one middle phalanx and one distal phalanx.

The important structures of the hand can be divided into several categories. Also known as the broad palm or metacarpus it consists of the area between the five phalanges finger bones and the carpus wrist joint. Many of the muscles that move the fingers and thumb originate in the forearm.

Wrist palm and fingers are thus made up of several small joints. Originates from the palmar aponeurosis and flexor retinaculum attaches to the dermis of the skin on the medial margin of the hand. Superficialis tendons which pass through the palm side of the wrist and hand.

Extensor tendons of the fingers which attach to the middle and distal phalanges and extend. A thickening of the deep fascia covering the palm of the hand. All small carpal bones join the bones lying next to them and thus make the anatomy of the human hand very complex.

The bones in the fingers and thumb are known as phalanges. All five metacarpals together are recognized as the metacarpus. The opisthenar area dorsal is the corresponding area on the posterior part of the hand.

The back of the hand is called the dorsal side. The red lines show where the tendons attach the muscles to the bones. Wrinkles the skin of the hypothenar eminence and deepens the curvature of the hand improving grip.

The front or palm side of the hand is referred to as the palmar side. Each hand consists of 19 bones. The heel of the hand is the area anteriorly to the bases of the metacarpal bones.

The muscles in the forearm and palm thenar muscles all work together to keep the wrist and hand moving stable and well aligned. The palm volar which is the central region of the anterior part of the hand.
