Wrist ligaments, artwork C013 / 4651
Wrist ligaments. Computer artwork of the bones of a human hand, showing the ligaments (white) holding together the bones of the wrist. Most of the ligaments shown here are radiate carpal ligaments, of which there are seven, running from the central capitate bone to the surrounding bones. Other wrist bones include the scaphoid, lunate, triquetral, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, and hamate. These bones are collectively the carpus. Above the wrist are the ulna (left) and radius (right), the two lower arm bones. The bones of the hands are the metacarpals, with three phalanges (two in the thumb) forming each finger

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of wrist ligaments that hold together the bones of a human hand. The computer artwork beautifully illustrates the complexity and interconnectivity of these ligaments, depicted in striking white against a black background. The focus is on the radiate carpal ligaments, which are seven in number and run from the central capitate bone to the surrounding bones of the wrist. These ligaments play a crucial role in maintaining stability and facilitating movement within this delicate joint. Surrounding these ligaments are various wrist bones, including the scaphoid, lunate, triquetral, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, and hamate. Together they form what is known as the carpus or wrist. Above this intricate structure lies two lower arm bones – ulna on the left side and radius on the right side. These forearm bones provide support and flexibility to our hands. Further down towards our fingertips lie metacarpals - forming each finger with three phalanges (except for two in thumb). This detailed illustration provides an insight into how all these elements work together seamlessly to enable us to perform countless tasks with our hands. This visually stunning image not only highlights anatomical details but also serves as a reminder of how remarkable our musculoskeletal system truly is. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its beauty and functionality while deepening their understanding of human anatomy.
