Another excellent Livestream! Thank you to Jarred! Thank you, Dominic! And thank you to all who asked questions. I thoroughly enjoyed the idea that the hands are a type of "lungs" as are the elbows and shoulders. Fascinating. The blog Jarred mentioned is helpful: Dr. Avery Arora - https://arorahandsurgery.com/blog-hand-doctor-michigan/. Please see image below.

For those who want to see the intrinsic muscles of the hand, tendons, etc: interactive 3D anatomy models have become fairly accessible online, some operating in the cloud and others through apps. For instance, take a look at https://anatomy3datlas.com/ .
