Tendons in the wrist connect muscles of the forearm to the bones of the wrist and hand, facilitating movement. When the forearm muscles contract, they pull on the tendons, which in turn move the bones, allowing for actions such as flexion, extension, and rotation of the wrist and fingers. Tendons are designed to withstand tension and help stabilize the wrist joint during these movements. Proper function of these tendons is essential for coordinated hand and wrist activities.
What else can I help you with?
Can you work if you have laceration at the wrist and your nerves and tendons are messed up?

How do the muscles and tendons in the hand and wrist work together to facilitate movement and dexterity?
The muscles in the hand and wrist work together with tendons to create movement and dexterity. Muscles contract to move the bones in the hand and wrist, while tendons connect the muscles to the bones, allowing for precise and coordinated movements. This collaboration enables us to perform tasks like grasping objects and typing on a keyboard with accuracy and control.
What movements are lost if the tendons at the anterior wrist are cut?
Flexion of the digits and the wrist

A transverse fibrous band on the wrist is called a retinaculum. It acts as a strong band that holds tendons in place, helping to stabilize the structures of the wrist during movement.
What connects to your muscles?
Muscles are attached by tendons (with a few exceptions). The muscles are attached to the tendons by a musculo-tendonious junction. The tendons are a part of the muscle that tapers off to a strong tendon. These tendons are what makes the fingers move and are so important in all movement of the body, ie, foot, mouth, elbow, hand and wrist.,,what makes these tendons work are impulses from the brain that sends a message to the muscle that the tendon is attached. This is called a motor function........makes sense doesn't it.
What muscles are used to make a fist?
You see the tendons at the bottom of your wrist, what ever muscle is conected to thoes
What movementss are lost if tendons at the anterior wrist are not repair?
If you loose your tendons, you have very, very limited mobility of the wrist, if any at all. You would certainly not be able to use it like the gliding joint it is intended to be, but might be able to move it forward and back, with a fair amount of effort.
What system of the body do tendons work with?
tendons deal in muscular system of the body.. Tendons are what ties muscles to the skeleton, so they work both with muscles and bones.
How many bones and tendons are contained in the wrist and hand?
27 bones. Each of the 4 medial fingers (thats any finger other than your thumb) has 3 phallenges, so you would have 12 phallenges. Plus 2 phallenges of the thumb that's 14. We also have 5 metacarpals in each hand. The sum now is 19. With 8 carpals connecting the wrist to the hand we would have 27 bones in our hand and wrist!
