There are 26 bones, including 7 in the wrist and 19 in the fingers and thumb (four for each finger and three for the thumb) in a normal adult
1 in each finger
27 bones
I have 5 fingers
These intermediate bones are metacarpals. Distally, there are the phalanges, the straight bones of the fingers. These connect to the straight metacarpals. These connect to the carpals, or wrist bones, which connect to the arm bones.
Metacarpals make up your finger bones. Not to be confused with Metatarsals, which are your toe bones. The Metacarpals are the bones in the hand which phalanges, (fingers), extend out from.

There are 27 bones in a human hand. There are 14 phalanges; proximal, medial (all except the thumb), and distal in the fingers. 5 metacarpals, I, II, III, IV, & V in the hand. 8 carpals: scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, hamate, capitate, trapezoid, and trapezium in the wrist. One-fourth of all of your bones are in your hands. And half of all your bones are in your hands and feet, since the feet have another 52 bones.
The fingers (and toes) in anatomy are called digits. The visible parts are made up of three bones called phalanges (aside from the thumbs). The Distal Phalanx is the one in the tip of the finger, the Middle Phalanx is the one in the middle of the finger and the Proximal Phalanx is in the base of the finger. There is also another bone in each digit but is hidden the body of the Hand. These are called the Metacarpal bones and are long thin bones. These are not part of the digits.To answer this directly: the number of bones in each finger is three except the thumb which has two. The same with the toes. The large toe has two and the others have three.
Monkeys have 5 fingers on each hand.
Fingers (including thumb)=14 Palm=5 Wrist=8 The math if W = number of bones in wrist: W + (W+6) + (W-3)=27 3W + 3 = 27 3W = 24 W=8
There are 27 bones in your hand: 8 carpals, 5 metacarpals, and 14 phalanges (each of your fingers has 3 phalanges in them - proximal, middle, and distal. However, there are only two phalanges in your thumb, proximal and distal.)

Polar bears do not have fingers, they have toes (5 on each paw) and each toe has a very long and very sharp claw attached.
