the name of wrist joint is Radio-carpal joint.
Carpals then the ones in your hands are metacarpals
The wrist joint doesn't have a proper name. It's made up of 8 different bone- Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Hamate, Capitate and Scapoid. :)
Carpus. The wrist bones are the carpals.
Radio-carpal
The scientific name for the carpals are carpals.
bones ate tibia and fiblua the anatomical name is the crural
The fingers are distal to the wrist. The wrist is proximal to the fingers. In anatomical position, it is possible to say the thumb is lateral to the wrist.
distal to the wrist, because they are away from the shoulder (origin point)
The scientific name for the thumb is the hallux. The analagous big toe is known as the pollux.
The scientific name for the carpals are carpals.

The radio carpal joint
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. In anatomical position, it is neither medial nor lateral to the wrist.
The fingers are distal to the wrist. The wrist is proximal to the fingers. In anatomical position, it is possible to say the thumb is lateral to the wrist.
anatomical snuffbox
In anatomical position, it is possible to say the thumb is lateral to the wrist. No other structure could be considered lateral to the wrist.
A line is bisected at the mid-point anatomical middle is usually abdomen
The carpals are the small bones in the wrist. --Not to be confused with the metacarpals, which are the longer bones in the palm of your hand. -Lib
As a group they are called the carpals. Each carpal has their own name, such as scaphoid and capitate.
distal to the wrist, because they are away from the shoulder (origin point)
The radius forms the bump on the lateral side of the wrist. The ulna forms the bump on the medial side of the wrist. Remember to keep anatomical position in mind when determining directionals for the upper limb.
