metacarpus

This is why, as we have pointed out above, it receives the name of the oblique flexor of the metacarpus.

A 3�4�5 cm. fibrous mass in the subcutis about the digital flexor tendon on the volar surface of the metacarpus.

There is great difference in the length of the metacarpus.

Fossils show that the metacarpus - one of the "hand" bones - was elongated and much bigger than in related species, with very thick walls.

This runs down the anterior and outer side of the upper arm, and is attached to the proximal tendon of the extensor metacarpi radialis longus, a little below the outer condyle of the humerus.
