All hail...

He was a four eyed, two clawed, green and purple people-eater...
But they loved him.

Digits and such... a four part post... Day 4...

Happy New Year's!

The movements of the human hand are accomplished by two sets of each of these tissues. They can be subdivided into two groups: the extrinsic and intrinsic muscle groups. The extrinsic muscle groups are the long flexors and extensors. They are called extrinsic because the muscle belly is located on the forearm. (Go Wiki, go!)







Some people have more than the usual number of fingers or toes, a condition called polydactyly. Others may have more than the typical number of metacarpal bones, a condition often caused by genetic disorders like Catel-Manzke syndrome. The average length of an adult male hand is 189 mm, while the averrage length of an adult female hand is 172 mm. The average hand breadth for adult males and females is 84 and 74 mm respectively. (Wiki rules)





I hope you enjoyed my self exploration.

Happy New Year's Eve.

The human hand has 27 bones: the carpus or wrist account for 8; the metacarpus or palm contains 5; the remaining 14 are digital bones; fingers and thumb. The eight bones of the wrist are arranged in two rows of four. These bones fit into a shallow socket formed by the bones of the forearm. The bones of proximal row are (from lateral to medial): scaphoid, lunate, triquetral and pisiform.
(Thanks again Wiki)





Also of note is that the articulation of the human hand is more complex and delicate than that of comparable organs in any other animals. Without this extra articulation, we would not be able to operate a wide variety of tools and devices. The hand can also form a fist, for example in combat, or as a gesture. (Yet again, Wiki)

The human hand consists of a broad palm (metacarpus) with 5 digits, attached to the forearm by a joint called the wrist (carpus). The back of the hand is formally called the dorsum of the hand.

Digits and such... a four part post... Day 1...

I focused on my hand the other day (pun intended). I had done so in the past and just stared at it for an hour or so. I spent time focusing from different lengths and on different points of the digits and how they moved and bent. I've never done drugs other than your standard over the counter or prescription types. I know, I'm boring, but I get high off life! ;)

All of the following are black and white. I hope you follow over the next few days and beyond. Enjoy.

Getting older...

I noticed a lump in my finger...
See the bright white spot in the lower right?



I took a picture of the MRI. The lump is scheduled to be removed in a little over a week. The doc thinks it's vascular and should be a quick removal. Wish me luck.
