Muscular system of a hand
Muscular system of a hand. Computer artwork showing the musculature of the back of a human hand. The muscles shown are skeletal muscles. These muscles are consciously controlled by the brain. They move the wrist and fingers by contracting and relaxing, often in opposing pairs, which pulls tendons (white) attached to the bones

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate muscular system of a human hand. Through computer artwork, the back of the hand is depicted with precision and detail. The skeletal muscles displayed in this image are under conscious control by the brain, allowing for intentional movement of the wrist and fingers. These muscles work in harmony, contracting and relaxing in opposing pairs to manipulate tendons attached to bones. The white tendons visible in this illustration play a crucial role as they connect these powerful muscles to their respective bones. This connection enables smooth and coordinated movements necessary for various activities performed by our hands. The complexity of this muscular system highlights its importance in everyday life. From grasping objects to writing or playing musical instruments, these muscles provide us with dexterity and versatility. Their healthiness ensures optimal functioning of our hands. This scientific artwork not only emphasizes the anatomical structure but also sheds light on physiological aspects related to muscle movement within our bodies. It serves as a reminder of the incredible biological systems that enable us to interact with our environment effortlessly. Science Photo Library has once again captured an awe-inspiring glimpse into human physiology through their exceptional imagery skills, providing valuable insights into one of nature's most remarkable creations - the human hand.
