The video tutorial explains the anatomical feature known as the Tabatiere, originating from the French term for snuffbox. It describes its location on the hand, its structure, and how it becomes visible. The tutorial details the boundaries formed by tendons and bones, including the extensor pollicis brevis and longus muscles, and the radius. It also covers the bones involved, such as the OS Scaphoideum and OS trapezium, and the pathways like the radial artery and cephalic vein.
