Hand anatomy, illustration C018 / 0796
Hand anatomy. Illustration showing the bones, nerves and blood vessels of the hand. There are 27 bones, made up of 14 phalanges on the fingers and thumb, five metacarpals connecting the fingers to the wrist, and eight carpal bones making up the base of the hand. The radial arteries (black) carry blood around the hand from the forearm. The hand is innervated by the median nerve (white) travelling to the thumb, forefinger and middle finger. The other two fingers on the left are served by the ulnar nerve (while)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hand Anatomy, Illustration C018/0796" offers a detailed glimpse into the intricate structure of the human hand. The image showcases the bones, nerves, and blood vessels that compose this remarkable appendage. With 27 bones in total, including 14 phalanges on the fingers and thumb, five metacarpals connecting them to the wrist, and eight carpal bones forming its base, the hand's complexity becomes apparent. The black radial arteries are prominently displayed as they carry vital blood flow from the forearm throughout every corner of the hand. Meanwhile, two major nerves take center stage: the median nerve (white), responsible for innervating crucial areas such as the thumb, forefinger, and middle finger; and its counterpart on display here is none other than the ulnar nerve. Claudia Stocker's artwork masterfully captures not only anatomical accuracy but also an aesthetic appeal that draws viewers in. This print serves as a testament to our fascination with biology and anatomy while highlighting how interconnected our bodies truly are. Whether you're a medical professional seeking visual aids or simply intrigued by nature's design marvels, this photograph provides an engaging window into one of our most versatile tools—the human hand.
