There are eight bones in the carpus or human wrist. They are the scaphoid, lunate, triquetral, pisiform (sesamoid bone), trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate.
A mnemonic used to remember them in order is "some lovers try positions that they can't handle."
The carpus also exists on many four legged mammals but is called the knee. The bones are usually similar, though some animals may not have them all.
The 8 carpal bones form the wrist they are:
the Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetral, Pisiform, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate and Hamate The wirst has 8 carpal bones (All with different names) and 4 joints called metacarpals
The eight bones that comprise the wrist are called carpals. The 8 carpal bones are the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate. Together with the radius and the ulna, they make up the wrist.
Hand bones.
Wrist bones
the carpel
The eight bones in the wrist (the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate) are carpal bones, and are classified as short bones because they are equally wide and long, and they are for support and stablility.
The wrist bones are named carpals. These are considered short bones.

The carpals (8) and the two forearm bones articulate at the wrist.
That is called the Metacarpals.
'Carpus' is the medical term for 'wrist' and consists of approximately 8 (depending on the species) carpal bones. The carpal bones articulate with the radius and ulna proximally and the metacarpal bones distally.
The scientific name for the carpals are carpals.
No, doesn't articulate with any facial bones; only articulates with temporal bones of cranium.

A Human has 8 wrist (carpal) bones in each hand, so 16 wrist bones altogether.
The carpals articulate distally with the ulna. The carpals are also known as the wrist bones.
"Metacarpal" refers to a set of bones in your hands. It is the term for the bones that make up your knuckles. Known collectively as the metacarpus, the bones run from the base of the wrist, where they articulate with the carpals (wrist bones), to the base of each finger, where they articulate with the phalanges (finger bones).
'Carpus' is the medical term for 'wrist' and consists of approximately 8 (depending on the species) carpal bones. The carpal bones articulate with the radius and ulna proximally and the metacarpal bones distally.
You have the humerus above. The radius above and below. The ulna does not take part in wrist joint formation. It comes in contact with triquetrum bone in extreme adduction of wrist joint.

The ribs articulate with the thoracic vertebrae.
The carpel is your wrist.

No, the wrist bones are also known as the carpal bones. The metacarpals are the bones of the hand that connect the wrist to the fingers and thumb.
