Anatomy Course Begin at the sides of the digits beside their counterpart arteries and drain into the dorsal metacarpal venous network on the back of the hand. Drain Drains the digits of the hand. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy Course On the dorsum of the foot they receive the intercapitular veins. They travel briefly to join the plantar cutaneous venous arch. Drain Drains the dorsal surface of the digits of the foot. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy Origin: Sides of the adjacent metatarsals. Insertion: Bases of proximal phalanges of 2nd, 3rd and 4th toes and dorsal expansions of the extensor digitorum longus tendons. Key relations: The dorsal interossei lie dorsal to the plantar interossei and together they form the fourth layer of the plantar muscles of the foot. Also, see view

Anatomy Origin: Bipennate muscles that arise by two heads from adjacent sides of posterior aspect of the metacarpals. Insertion: Extensor hood and base of proximal phalanges of the index, middle and ring fingers. (It is the middle digit that has two dorsal interossei inserting onto it.) Key relations: The radial artery (after passing between the

Anatomy Thick bands of connective tissue attaching from the bases of the two to five metacarpal bones. Functions By linking metacarpal bones two to five, they help to form the skeletal framework of the palm. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy Course Arise from the dorsal digital veins, which form three dorsal metacarpal veins. These travel briefly before creating a complex network on the dorsum of the hand. Drain Drain the dorsum of the hand. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy Course First dorsal metatarsal artery is a direct branch of the dorsalis pedis artery. The second, third and fourth metatarsal arteries originate from the arcuate artery. Supply Together they supply the digits of the foot. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy A series of ligaments that attach from the dorsal surface of one metatarsal to the dorsal surface of the adjacent metatarsal. Situated at the proximal ends of the metatarsal bones. Functions Stabilizers of the metatarsal joints. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for a test drive?

Anatomy Attaches to the posterior border of the distal radius. It travels obliquely downwards and medially to attach to the dorsal surface of the scaphoid, lunate and trapezium bones of the hand. Weaker than the volar radiocarpal ligament. Functions Helps to stabilize the wrist joint posteriorly. Interested in taking our award-winning Pocket Anatomy app for

Anatomy Short, flat ligaments that attach longitudinally and obliquely from the cuboid and the three cuneiform bones, to the metatarsal bones of the foot. Functions Static stability to the tarsometatarsal joints. Clinical Injured when fractures or dislocations occur at the tarsometatarsal joint (at the first tarsometatarsal joint, called the lisfranc injury). Commonly injured when the
