Palmarokarpální

Palmarokarpální refers to the anatomical region encompassing the palm of the hand and the wrist. This area is crucial for a wide range of hand functions, including grasping, manipulation of objects, and fine motor skills. It consists of a complex interplay of bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels that work in concert to provide dexterity and strength. The carpal bones form the wrist joint, allowing for flexion, extension, radial deviation, and ulnar deviation. These eight small bones are arranged in two rows and connect the forearm to the metacarpal bones of the palm. The metacarpals form the framework of the palm, with their distal ends articulating with the phalanges to form the finger joints. Numerous muscles, originating in the forearm and hand, control the movement of the fingers, thumb, and wrist. Tendons transmit the force generated by these muscles to the bones. Ligaments provide stability to the joints, preventing excessive movement. The median, ulnar, and radial nerves innervate this region, enabling sensation and motor control. The vascular supply is provided by branches of the radial and ulnar arteries. Conditions affecting the palmarokarpální region can significantly impair hand function, leading to pain, weakness, numbness, and limited mobility.
