Hand circulation

Hand. Computer artwork of the blood supply to the human hand. Blood is supplied to the hand by two arteries: the radial on the thumb side of the wrist and the ulnar on the opposite side. Prominent networks of veins on the back of the hand carry blood away. The hand is the most versatile part of the human body, allowing objects to be held and manipulated

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate network of blood vessels that supply and circulate blood to the human hand. The computer artwork beautifully illustrates the two main arteries responsible for this vital function: the radial artery, located on the thumb side of the wrist, and the ulnar artery on the opposite side. These arteries branch out into smaller vessels, delivering oxygen-rich blood to every part of our versatile hands. The image also highlights prominent networks of veins on the back of our hands that carry deoxygenated blood away. This remarkable system ensures a continuous flow of nutrients and oxygen while removing waste products from our hardworking hands. As one of nature's most incredible tools, our hands possess an extraordinary ability to hold and manipulate objects with precision. From delicate tasks like writing or painting to powerful actions such as lifting heavy weights or playing musical instruments, our hands are indispensable in countless aspects of daily life. This thought-provoking artwork not only offers a glimpse into human anatomy but also reminds us how interconnected and complex our bodies truly are. It serves as a testament to both scientific knowledge and artistic expression, capturing the beauty within ourselves that often goes unnoticed in everyday life.
