12. Ligaments of the Wrist Wrist: Ulnar collateral ligament
Radial collateral ligament
Transverse carpal ligament
Property of CTE Joint Venture

13. Ligaments of the Hand Fingers: Collateral ligaments
Property of CTE Joint Venture

14. Articulations of the wrist
Radiocarpal joints
Intercarpal joints
Carpometacarpal joints

15. Carpal Ligaments
Wrist is stabilized by anterior, posterior, and interosseous ligaments.
Play important role in stabilization of the wrist complex.
Identification of specific ligament difficult if not impossible.

16. Flexor Retinaculum
Strong fibrous band that restrains or holds in place tissue, muscles or organs
Restraining structure for the flexor tendons

17. Extensor retinaculum Strong fibrous band
Restraining structure for the extensor tendons

18. Wrist Motion Bone structure allows 6 different motions Flexion
Extension
Adduction (Ulnar deviation)
Abduction (Radial deviation)
Pronation
Supination

students number off in a group from 1 to 4
teacher poses a question
group discusses the answer
teacher selects a number from 1 to 4 and asks all students who represent that number to raise their hand
teacher calls on a non-volunteer or uses a random method to generate a number such as rolling die
teacher provides feedback
Students Number 1-4 Identify the skeletal structure that the teacher is pointing to on the model of the hand and wrist.
