Hand
After it travels down the ulna, the ulnar nerve enters the palm of the hand through the Guyon's Canal. The ulnar nerve and artery pass superficial to the flexor retinaculum, via the ulnar canal.
The course of the ulnar nerve through the wrist contrasts with that of the median nerve, which travels deep to the flexor retinaculum of the hand and therefore through the carpal tunnel.
Here it gives off the following branches:
- Superficial branch of ulnar nerve
- Deep branch of ulnar nerve

“Do not be discouraged, if in a thousand instances you find your kindness rejected and wronged, your good evil-spoken of, and the hand you extend for the relief of others, cast insultingly away; the benevolence which cannot outlive these trials of its purity and strength, is not like the self-sacrifice of him, who went about doing good.”
—C., U.S. women’s magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 331-4 (July 1828)
“See, I am of small account; what shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth. I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but will proceed no further.”
