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 ...

The raccoon is usually described as having "hands" though opposable thumbs are lacking. Some evolutionary anatomists use the term ''hand'' to refer to the appendage of digits on the forelimb more generally—for example, in the context of whether the three digits of the bird hand involved the same homologous loss of two digits as in the dinosaur hand. The human hand usually has five digits: four fingers plus one thumb; these are often referred to collectively as five fingers, however, whereby the thumb is included as one of the fingers. It has 27 bones, not including the sesamoid bone, the number o ...
