A strong triangular aponeurosis, which arises from the inferior tendon of the palmaris brevis, and the anterior annular ligament of the carpus. It covers the whole palm of the hand, and adheres, somewhat strongly, to the skin of the part. The palmar ligaments are small, very numerous, fibrous fasciae, which unite the different bones of the carpus and metacarpus.
