Hand anatomy

Hand anatomy, computer artwork. Muscles are pink, tendons, ligaments and bones are cream. Tendons and ligaments are bands of inelastic fibrous tissue. Tendons connect bones to muscle, while ligaments connect bones to other bones. The fingers consist of phalanges bones, two for the thumb and three for the each finger. The phalanges are joined to the metacarpal bones, which are in the palm of the hand. The hand tendons, which run from the muscles of the arm, through the wrist (upper left), to the tip of the fingers, extend and flex the fingers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of hand anatomy, beautifully depicted through computer artwork. The image highlights the various components that make up this remarkable part of the human body. Muscles are elegantly portrayed in a soft pink hue, while tendons, ligaments, and bones take on a creamy tone. Tendons and ligaments play crucial roles in connecting different structures within our hands. Tendons serve as bridges between bones and muscles, enabling movement and dexterity. Ligaments, on the other hand, connect bones to other bones, providing stability and support. The fingers exhibit their own unique structure with phalanges bones. Each finger consists of three phalanges except for the thumb which has two. These phalanges are connected to metacarpal bones nestled within the palm. Intriguingly, this artwork also captures how hand tendons extend from arm muscles all the way through the wrist before reaching each fingertip. This complex network allows for both extension and flexion of our fingers. Overall, this stunning visual representation not only emphasizes the complexity but also celebrates the beauty inherent in our hands' anatomical design. It serves as a testament to nature's ingenuity in creating such an essential tool for human interaction with our surroundings.
