These are, from without inwards:—i. On the outer sideof the styloid process, for the tendons of the Extensor ossis metacarpi andExtensor brevis pollicis. 2. Behind the styloid process, for the tendons of theExtensor carpi radialis longior and brevior. 3. About the middle of theposterior surface of the radius, for the tendon of the Extensor longus pollicis.4. To the inner side of the latter, for the tendons of the Extensor communisdigitorum and Extensor indicis. 5.

The deep palmar fascia (fig. 352) forms a common sheath which invests themuscles of the hand. It consists of a central and two lateral portions. The central portion occupies the middle of the palm, is triangular in shape,of great strength and thickness, and binds down the tendons in this situation. Itis narrow above, being attached to the lower margin of the annular ligament, andreceives the expanded tendon of the Palmaris longus muscle. Below, it is broad OF THE HAND 495 and expanded, and divides into four slips, for the four fingers.
