carpal tunnel
A tunnel on the palm side of the hand created between the arch formed by the carpal bones and the fibrous band that draws the ends of the arch together. The long flexor tendons for the fingers pass through this tunnel, which holds themin and prevents them from bowing when the wrist is moved.
