Your carpals, metacarpals and phalanges are baisically all of the bones in your hands. What you do with your hands is up to you.
The metacarpals are the long hand bones proximal to the phalanges. The carpals are proximal to the metacarpals.
Metarcarpals
Carpals, Metacarpals and Phalanges
The radius and ulna are proximal to the carpal bones. The carpals are distal to the radius and ulna.
Phalanges - on one side and i cant remember whats on the other The metacarpals (palm) are connected to the phalanges (fingers) and the carpals (wrist)
Phalanges. "Fourteen phalangeal bones constitute the four fingers and thumb (three in each finger, two in the thumb)."
The group of bones of the wrist are the carpals, and of the ankles are the tarsals. Each of the carpals and tarsals has an individual name as well. The bones of the palm are the metacarpals, and the bones of the sole are the metatarsals. The finger bones and toe bones are both called phalanges.
The bones of the hand include 28 phalanges, 5 metacarpals, and 8 carpals. The phalanges make up the fingers and there are three for each finger except for the thumb which is only made up of two. The metacarpals align with each finger, starting with the 1st which aligns with the thumb to the fifth which aligns with the pinky. The 8 carpal bones make up the wrist. They are the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate.
The majority of your bones are in your hands and feet including the carpals, metacarpals,and phalanges in your hands, and in your feet there are the tarsals, metatarsals (FYI meta means middle so metatarsals and metacarpals are in the middle of your feet and hands) and phalanges.
The wrist is made of carpals. The palm of your hand (mid hand) is made of metacarpals, and your fingers are called phalanges.
The palm is formed from the metacarpals, the thin bones between the phalanges (finger bones) and the carpals (wrist bones).
