Connective tissue is an extremely divaricated structure and, unlike other tissues, made up of proteins combined in various configurations. This construction is characterized by high variability and the ability to adapt through the appropriate selection of synthesized matrix components. That feature helps properly stabilize the body’s joints. The content of receptors enables information transfer about stimuli acting on itself and on neighboring structures.
This work aims are to collect information about selected forearm structures, its features, functions and receptors content. One of the objectives is to improve the knowledge organization, indicate possible areas to expand and to inspire exploration diversity of connective tissue.
Structures described in the article include the transverse carpal ligament, the superficial and deep fascia of the forearm, the interosseous membrane, the flexor retinaculum system and the palmar aponeurosis. These structures are well-known even to inexperienced science students. However, acquired knowledge is still incomplete and possible to explore.
