Interesting Factoid the Second

So today's installment of "Interesting Factoid" is all about the mysteries
of your FINGERS.

Did you know that there are no muscles in your fingers? There are muscles
in your hand and wrist and forearm. These are connected to tendons that go
through your fingers. For motor movements in your fingers--or what I like
to call 'light lifting', the smaller muscles in your hand are responsible
for those movements. Try it now. Wiggle your fingers, but look at your
hand or palm.
For bigger movement--'heavy lifting'--the stronger muscles in your forearm
are used for these. Try this too. Grab onto a staircase railing and hold
it tight. Look at the inner part of your forearm(same side as your palm)
and also look at the sides. You'll be able to see the muscles working, but
there are no muscles in your fingers.

This concept also applies to your toes.

This has been the second installment of "Interesting Factoid."
We hope you learned something new.
