  Anatomical snuff box - Wikivisual
The anatomical snuffbox, or radial fossa, (in Latin Foveola Radialis), is a triangular deepening on the radial, dorsal aspect of the hand - at the level of the carpal bones, specifically, the scaphoid and trapezium bones forming the floor.
The snuffbox is bordered above by the tendon of the extensor pollicis longus and below by a pair of parallel and intimate tendons, of the extensor pollicis brevis and the abductor pollicis longus.
Superficial to these lies the radial artery, which passes through the anatomical snuffbox on its course from the normal radial pulse detecting area, to the proximal space in between the first and second metacarpals to contribute to the superficial and deep palmar arches.
