The palm is the inner surface of the hand, located between the wrist and the fingers. It is characterized by its soft, flexible skin and is essential for gripping and holding objects. The palm contains various muscles, tendons, and ligaments that allow for a wide range of movements. The structure of the palm includes the metacarpal bones, which form the framework, and the thenar and hypothenar muscles, which control thumb and little finger movements. The palm also has numerous sensory receptors, making it sensitive to touch, temperature, and pressure, contributing to our ability to interact with the environment.
