Anatomic Snuffbox
Anatomic Snuffbox, to me, that is a great name for a band, it strikes out as such. And what an anatomic snuffbox is:
The triangular area of the dorsum of the thumb overlying the scaphoid bone. A depression is formed when the thumb is extended. The tendons of the extensor pollicis longus muscle bound the ulnar side of the depression, and the abductor brevis tendons form the radial border. When snuff was used, a small pinch could be placed in this 'box' and snuffed up into the nose from that site. Tenderness in this area may be present when the scaphoid bone is fractured.
