Palmar Venous Plexus
The palmar digital veins on each finger are connected to the dorsal digital veins by oblique intercapitular veins. They drain into a venous plexus which is situated over the thenar and hypothenar eminences and across the front of the wrist In human anatomy, the wrist is variously defined as (1) the Carpal bones, carpus or carpal bones, the complex of eight bones forming the proximal skeletal segment of the hand; "The wrist contains eight bones, roughly aligned in two rows, known ....

Palmar Digital Veins
The palmar digital veins (or volar digital veins) on each finger are connected to the dorsal digital veins by oblique intercapitular veins. Some sources distinguish between the "proper palmar digital veins", which are more distal, and the "common palmar digital veins", which are more proximal.

Median Antebrachial Vein
The median antebrachial vein is a superficial vein of the (anterior) forearm. It arises from - and drains - the superficial palmar venous arch, ascending superficially along the anterior forearm before terminating by draining into either the basilic vein and/or median cubital vein In human anatomy, the median cubital vein (or median basilic vein) is a superficial vein of the upper limb. It lies in the cubital fossa superficial to the bicipital aponeurosis. It connects the cephalic vein and the basilic vein. It becomes promi ... (it may bifurcate distal to the elbow and proceed to drain into both aforementioned veins). References Veins of the upper limb {{circulatory-stub ...

Dorsal Digital Veins Of The Hand
The dorsal venous network of the hand is a network of veins within the superficial fascia on the dorsum (backside) of hand. It is formed by the dorsal metacarpal veins, and gives rise to veins such as the cephalic vein and the basilic vein The basilic vein is a large superficial vein of the upper limb that helps drain parts of the hand and forearm. It originates on the medial (ulnar) side of the dorsal venous network of the hand and travels up the base of the forearm, where its co .... References Veins of the upper limb {{Circulatory-stub ...

Venous Plexus
In vertebrates, a venous plexus is a normal congregation anywhere in the body of multiple veins. A list of venous plexuses: * Basilar plexus * Batson venous plexus * Internal vertebral venous plexuses * Pterygoid plexus * Submucosal venous plexus of the nose * Uterine venous plexus * Vaginal venous plexus * Venous plexus of hypoglossal canal * Vesical venous plexus * Soleal venous plexus * Pampiniform venous plexus * Prostatic venous plexus * Rectal venous plexus The rectal venous plexus (or hemorrhoidal plexus) surrounds the rectum, and communicates in front with the vesical venous plexus in the male, and the vaginal venous plexus in the female. A free communication between the portal and systemic venous ... References Veins {{Circulatory-stub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thenar
The thenar eminence is the mound formed at the base of the thumb on the palm of the hand by the intrinsic group of muscles of the thumb. The skin overlying this region is the area stimulated when trying to elicit a palmomental reflex. The word thenar comes . Structure The following three muscles are considered part of the thenar eminence: * Abductor pollicis brevis abducts the thumb. This muscle is the most superficial of the thenar group. * Flexor pollicis brevis, which lies next to the abductor, will flex the thumb, curling it up in the palm. (The Flexor pollicis longus, which is inserted into the distal phalanx of the thumb, is not considered part of the thenar eminence.) * Opponens pollicis lies deep to abductor pollicis brevis. As its name suggests it opposes the thumb, bringing it against the fingers. This is a very important movement, as most of human hand dexterity comes from this action. Another muscle that controls movement of the thumb is adductor pollicis. It lie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hypothenar Eminence
The hypothenar muscles are a group of three muscles of the hand, palm that control the motion of the little finger. The three muscles are: * Abductor minimi digiti muscle (hand), Abductor digiti minimi * Flexor digiti minimi brevis (hand), Flexor digiti minimi brevis * Opponens digiti minimi Structure The muscles of hypothenar eminence are from medial to lateral: * Opponens digiti minimi muscle, Opponens digiti minimi * Flexor digiti minimi brevis muscle (hand), Flexor digiti minimi brevis * Abductor digiti minimi muscle of hand, Abductor digiti minimi The intrinsic muscles of hand can be remembered using the mnemonic, "A OF A OF A" for, Abductor pollicis brevis, Opponens pollicis, Flexor pollicis brevis (the three thenar muscles), Adductor pollicis, and the three hypothenar muscles, Opponens digiti minimi, Flexor digiti minimi brevis, Abductor digiti minimi. Clinical significance "Hypothenar atrophy" is associated with the lesion of the ulnar nerve, which supplies the three hyp ...

Wrist
In human anatomy, the wrist is variously defined as (1) the Carpal bones, carpus or carpal bones, the complex of eight bones forming the proximal skeletal segment of the hand; "The wrist contains eight bones, roughly aligned in two rows, known as the carpal bones." (2) the wrist joint or radiocarpal joint, the joint between the radius (bone), radius and the Carpal bones, carpus and; (3) the anatomical region surrounding the carpus including the distal parts of the bones of the forearm and the proximal parts of the metacarpus or five metacarpal bones and the series of joints between these bones, thus referred to as ''wrist joints''. "With the large number of bones composing the wrist (ulna, radius, eight carpas, and five metacarpals), it makes sense that there are many, many joints that make up the structure known as the wrist." This region also includes the carpal tunnel, the anatomical snuff box, bracelet lines, the Flexor retinaculum of the hand, flexor retinaculum, and the ex ...
