The Carpal Tunnel is a passageway in the wrist. About the size of the index finger, the Carpal Tunnel is formed by the Transverse Carpal Ligament on the underside of the wrist and 8 Carpal Bones on the backside. The median nerve, 9 flexor tendons, arteries and lymphatic vessels all slide back and forth through the Carpal Tunnel.
