What is "palm"?
The palm is the broad, fleshy part of the hand, located between the fingers and the wrist. It is characterized by a unique pattern of lines and creases, known as palmistry or palm lines. The palm plays a fundamental role in hand movements and functions, such as gripping, grasping, and manipulating objects. It houses various muscles, tendons, and ligaments that enable fine motor skills and intricate hand movements.
