Anatomical Snuff Box
superficial radial nerve
terminal parts of the BLANK pass subcutaneously over the snuffbox as does the origin of the cephalic vein from the dorsal venous arch of the hand
radial artery
the BLANK passes obliquely through the snuff box, deep to the extensor tendons of the thumb and lies adjacent to the scaphoid and trapezium
extensor
the anatomical snuffbox is a term given to the triangular depression formed on the posterolateral side of the wrist and metcarpal 1 by the BLANK tendons passing into the thumb
wrist, thumb
the base of the snuff box is at the BLANK and the apex is directed into the BLANK
schapoid, trapezium, extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis
the floor of the impression is formed by the BLANK and BLANK, and the distal ends of the tendons of the BLANK and BLANK
superficial radial nerve
branches of the BLANK course through the roof of the anatomical snuff box
styloid, thumb
just distal to the BLANK process of the radius at the base of the BLANK, the tendons of abductor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis brevis and extensor pollicis longus form a triangular interval known as the anatomical snuff box
