Some links showing the 3 main nerves and how they enter the hand at the wrist:

http://www.orthogate.org/patient-edu...d-anatomy.html
at the bottom of the page is a close up showing nerves in yellow.

This one shows two photos with distribution of feeling in the hand, click on each picture to make it bigger.

another:
http://www.scoi.com/handanat.htm
notice the median nerve goes UNDER the carpal ligament.
The ulnar does not. So the median is more likely to be squashed by tension in the wrist. Hypothyroidism is one cause of this. The ulnar nerve may be compressed at the elbow.

This one shows the nerves in more detail on the first page.

Do these work for you?
