If you want to go further in your understanding of

shapes, a detour through anatomy is necessary.

Let us review a few notions. The hand's rotating

motions take place at the elbow, on the humerus

(Fig. 1). The hand is within the extension of the

radius, which is parallel to the ulna (the elbow bone)

during supination movements (Figs. 2 and 3) and

crosses it during pronation (Figs. 4 and 5).

Eight small bones at the wrist create a base (Fig. 6) for

the tendons of the flexors, which we will look at later.

The edges of this base are visible at the heel of the

hand (Figs. 7 and 8). The first bones of the fingers (the

metacarpals) form the back of the hand, and aside

from that of the thumb, which is more independent,

they are not visible except at their extremities (in a fist).
