Palm of hand Flashcards
proximal row of carpal bones (lateral-medial)
scaphoid
lunate
triquetrum
pisiform
distal row of carpal bones (lat-med)
trapezium
trapezoid
capitate
hamate
carpal tunnel
allows passage of the flexor tendons and median nerve into the palm of the hand
flexor retinaculum
attaches medially to the perform and hook of the hamate, laterally to the trapezium and scaphoid
Palmar aponeurosis
Extends from a flexor retinaculum to the head of the metacarpals to the head of the metacarpals,
where it divides into the four longitudinal bands, adhearing the fibrous tissue of the proximal phalanges
FDS and FDP tendons
enter in common synovial sheath deep to the flexor retinaculum, and Palmar aponeurosis
enter Osseofibrous, digital tunnels in a synovial membrane covers tendons within the tunnel
Tunnels are composed of fibrous, connective tissue, which serve to hold the tendons onto the phalanges
synovial sheaths of fingers
digits 1 and 5 synovial sheets that are continuous with a synovial sheets of the palm
Digits 2 3 and 4 terminate about the middle of the palm and are not continuous with a synovial sheets of a palm
