| bursa of extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle | <anatomy> The bursa between the tendon of the extensor carpi radialis brevis and the base of the third metacarpal. Synonym: bursa musculi extensoris carpi radialis brevis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| canalis carpi | The passageway deep to the transverse carpal ligament between tubercles of the scaphoid and trapezoid bones on the radial side and the pisiform and hook of the hamate on the ulnar side, through which the median nerve and the flexor tendons of the fingers and thumb pass; compression of the median nerve may occur here (carpal tunnel syndrome). Synonym: canalis carpi, carpal canal. (05 Mar 2000) |

| vagina tendinis musculi extensoris carpi ulnaris | The synovial sheath surrounding the tendon of the extensor carpi ulnaris in its course deep to the extensor retinaculum. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi extensoris carpi ulnaris, peritenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vagina tendinis musculi flexoris carpi radialis | <anatomy> The synovial sheath enclosing the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis as it crosses the wrist. Synonym: vagina tendinis musculi flexoris carpi radialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vagina tendinum musculorum extensorum carpi radialium | The synovial sheath lining the compartment of the extensor retinaculum containing the tendons of the extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis muscles. Synonym: vagina tendinum musculorum extensorum carpi radialium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carpi | The pleural of carpus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rete carpi dorsale | A vascular network over the dorsal surface of the carpal joints, formed by anastomoses of branches of the anterior and posterior interosseous, and dorsal carpal branches of the radial and ulnar arteries. Synonym: rete carpi dorsale, rete carpi posterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rete carpi posterius | A vascular network over the dorsal surface of the carpal joints, formed by anastomoses of branches of the anterior and posterior interosseous, and dorsal carpal branches of the radial and ulnar arteries. Synonym: rete carpi dorsale, rete carpi posterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus extensor carpi radialis brevis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral epicondyle of humerus; insertion, base of third metacarpal bone; action, extends and abducts wrist radialward; nerve supply, radial. Synonym: musculus extensor carpi radialis brevis, short radial extensor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus extensor carpi radialis longus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral supracondylar ridge of humerus; insertion, back of base of second metacarpal bone; action, extends and deviates wrist radialward; nerve supply, radial. Synonym: musculus extensor carpi radialis longus, long radial extensor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus extensor carpi ulnaris | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral epicondyle of humerus (humeral head) and oblique line and posterior border of ulna (ulnar head); insertion, base of fifth metacarpal bone; action, extends and abducts wrist ulnarward; nerve supply, radial (posterior interosseous). Synonym: musculus extensor carpi ulnaris, ulnar extensor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus flexor carpi radialis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, common flexor origin of the medial condyle of humerus; insertion, anterior surface of the base of the second and most often sending a slip to that of the third metacarpal bone; action, flexes and abducts wrist radialward; nerve supply, median; its tendon travels in its own canal roofed by a layer of the transverse carpal ligament. Synonym: musculus flexor carpi radialis, radial flexor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus flexor carpi ulnaris | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, humeral head from medial condyle of humerus, ulnar head from olecranon and upper three-fifths of posterior border of ulna; insertion, pisiform bone, but is continued to the fifth metacarpal bone via the pisometacarpal ligament; action, flexes and abducts wrist ulnarward; nerve supply, ulnar. Synonym: musculus flexor carpi ulnaris, ulnar flexor muscle of wrist. (05 Mar 2000) |
