Best Answer

Metacarpals are the bones that attach to your finger bones, called phalanges. The bones of the hand are structured in a way to retain stability and surface area while still being highly flexible. Imagine one of those pot holders made of strung-together beads, it's still flat and can withstand force, but all those beads make it flexible enough to do things with. Same goes for your hand!
