  Examples (External sources, not reviewed)

The tendons of the extensor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis form what is known as the anatomical snuff box (an indentation on the lateral aspect of the thumb at its base) The radial artery can be palpated anteriorly at the wrist(not in the snuffbox).
Os tendões do extensor pollicis longus e do extensor pollicis brevis formam a caixinha do rapé (que, nos tempos em que se aspirava rapé, servia efectivamente para ali colocar uma porção e levá la ao nariz), onde se pode palpar a artéria radial e os ossos escafóide e trapézio.
