Wrist joint anatomy, artwork C016 / 6549
Wrist joint anatomy. Artwork of the bones (yellow) and ligaments (blue) of the wrist joint, in longitudinal section. The left hand has been sectioned in a palmar aspect to expose the synovial cavities and ligaments (blue) connecting the eight carpal bones in the wrist joint: scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform (bottom); trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate (top). Across top are the metacarpal bones of the palm (thumb at left). At lower right are the wrist ends of the lower arm bones, the radius (left) and the ulna (right). The phalanges (finger bones) are not shown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate anatomy of the wrist joint, providing a detailed view of its bones and ligaments. The artwork, labeled as C016 / 6549, offers a longitudinal section of the left hand in a palmar aspect. Against a clean white background, the yellow-colored bones and blue-colored ligaments stand out prominently. The image highlights the eight carpal bones that form the wrist joint: scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform at the bottom; trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate at the top. Additionally, it features metacarpal bones across the top representing those found in our palm. At lower right corner are visible ends of radius (left) and ulna (right), which connect to complete this complex joint structure. By exposing synovial cavities and ligaments connecting these carpal bones together with precision and clarity through careful sectioning technique reveals their interconnections within this vital joint. Although finger bones or phalanges are not shown here but can be imagined completing this remarkable skeletal system. This illustration serves as an invaluable resource for anatomical study purposes in biology or medical fields alike. It provides insight into normal wrist joint anatomy while emphasizing its healthy state. With its attention to detail and accuracy in depicting bone structures along with associated ligaments and cartilage components essential for articulation between different parts of human body like radius-ulna connection or distal radioulnar articulation - it is truly an impressive piece of artistry by BO VEISLAND/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY.
