| palmar interosseous muscle | <anatomy> Three muscles in the hand; origin, first: ulnar side of second metacarpal; second and third: radial sides of fourth and fifth metacarpals; insertion, first: into ulnar side of index; second and third: into radial sides of ring and little fingers; action, adducts fingers toward axis of middle finger; nerve supply, ulnar. See: flexor pollicis brevis muscle. Synonym: musculus interosseus palmaris, musculus interosseus volaris. (05 Mar 2000) |

| palmar ligaments | The fibrocartilaginous plates, one located on the anterior aspect of each metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joint, that are firmly attached to the bases of the phalanges and the heads of the next proximal bones; they are grooved to accommodate the long flexor tendons. Synonym: ligamenta palmaria, accessory volar ligaments. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palmar metacarpal artery | <anatomy, artery> One of the three arteries springing from the deep palmar arch and running in the three medial interosseous spaces; they anastomose with the common palmar and dorsal metacarpal arteries. Synonym: arteria metacarpea palmaris, palmar interosseous artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palmar metacarpal ligaments | Fibrous bands connecting the palmar aspects of the bases of metacarpals two to five. Synonym: ligamenta metacarpalia palmaria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palmar metacarpal veins | Veins emptying into the deep venous arch from which the radial and ulnar veins arise. Synonym: venae metacarpeae palmares. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palmar radiocarpal ligament | <anatomy> A strong ligament that passes from the distal end of the radius to the proximal row of carpal bones on the anterior surface of the wrist joint. Synonym: ligamentum radiocarpale palmare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palmar reflex | Flexion of the fingers following tickling of the palm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palmar ulnocarpal ligament | <anatomy> The fibrous band that passes from the ulnar styloid process to the carpal bones. Synonym: ligamentum ulnocarpale palmare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central palmar space | The more medial of the central palmar spaces, bounded medially by the hypothenar compartment; related distally to the synovial tendon sheaths of digits 3 and 4 and proximally to the common flexor sheath. Synonym: medial midpalmar space, middle palmar space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| perforating branches of palmar metacarpal arteries | The perforating branches of the palmar metacarpal arteries, three small arteries that pass dorsally through the second, third, and fourth interosseous spaces of the hand from the palmar metacarpal arteries. Synonym: ramus perforantes arteriarum metacarpalium palmarium, perforating arteries of hand. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle palmar space | The more medial of the central palmar spaces, bounded medially by the hypothenar compartment; related distally to the synovial tendon sheaths of digits 3 and 4 and proximally to the common flexor sheath. Synonym: medial midpalmar space, middle palmar space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common palmar digital artery | <anatomy, artery> One of three arteries arising from the superficial palmar arch and running to the interdigital clefts where each divides into two proper palmar digital arteries. Synonym: arteria digitalis palmaris communis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common palmar digital nerves | Four nerves in the palm that send branches (proper palmar digital nerves) to adjacent sides of two digits; three are branches of the median, one is from the ulnar. Synonym: nervi digitales palmares communes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| proper palmar digital artery | <anatomy, artery> Terminal branches of the common palmar digital artery that pass to the side of each finger. Synonym: arteria digitalis palmaris propria, collateral digital artery, digital collateral artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| proper palmar digital nerves | The palmar nerves of the digits of the hand derived from common palmar digital nerves; each nerve supplies a palmar quadrant of a digit and a part of the dorsal surface of the distal phalanx. Synonym: nervi digitales palmares proprii. (05 Mar 2000) |
