Extensor Tendons in Hand

Note the tendons of extensor digitorum to the four fingers. These tendons are interconnected thus making it harder to extend just the middle or ring finger. Extensor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis form the boundary of the snuff box. Radial artery lies in its floor and superficial radial nerve branches cross it.
