· Tarsals- In tetrapods, the tarsus is a cluster of articulating bones in each foot situated between the lower end of tibia and fibula of the lower leg and the metatarsus. In the foot the tarsus articulates with the bones of the metatarsus, which in turn articulate with the bones of the individual toes. The joint between the tibia and fibula above and the tarsus below is referred to as the ankle joint.
In humans the largest bone in the tarsus is the calcaneum, which is the weight-bearing bone within the heel of the foot.
· Carpals- In tetrapods, the carpus is the sole cluster of bones in the wrist between the radius and ulna and the metacarpus. The bones of the carpus do not belong to individual fingers (or toes in quadrupeds), whereas those of the metacarpus do. The corresponding part of the foot is the tarsus. The carpal bones allow the wrist to move and rotate vertically.
· Metacarpals- In human anatomy, the metacarpus is the intermediate part of the hand skeleton that is located between the phalanges (bones of the fingers) distally and the carpus which forms the connection to the forearm. The metacarpus consists of metacarpal bones. Its equivalent in the foot is the metatarsus.
· Metatarsals- The metatarsus or metatarsal bones are a group of five long bones in the foot located between the tarsal bones of the hind- and mid-foot and the phalanges of the toes. Lacking individual names, the metatarsal bones are numbered from the medial side (side of big toe): the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth metatarsal. The metatarsals are analogous to the metacarpal bones of the hand.
What are there difference between all of them?
The answer is metatarsal and tarsal are found in feet while metacarpal and carpal is found in hands
MTP=Meta Tarsal Phalanges
MCP= Meta Carpal Phalanges
What else can I help you with?
What is the medical term meaning inflamed hands?
Metacarpal edema
What is the position of the proximal phalanx relative to the metacarpal?
The proximal phalanx is distal to the metacarpal for each of the five fingers. It is farther from the base of the hand than the metacarpal.
What is the meaning of the word to articulate in anatomy?
Articulate in anatomy means to meet at a joint. For instance, one can say that the metacarpal articulates with the phalanx.
Which bone articulates with the 4th metacarpal?
The fourth metacarpal bone articulates with the fourth proximal phalanx in the hand.
What term is applied to a common fracture of the fifth metacarpal?
A common fracture of the fifth metacarpal bone of the hand is often referred to as the "Boxer's Fracture." The fifth metacarpal is the bone in the hand that attaches to the pinky finger.
Which metacarpal is proximal to the little finger?
The fifth metacarpal articulates proximally with the little finger. The fifth proximal phalanx meets the fifth metacarpal at the knuckle of the pinkie finger.
Which is medial the pollux or the 5th metacarpal?
The pollux, or thumb, is lateral to the fifth metacarpal in anatomical position. The pinkie is medial to the thumb.
Are metacarpal bones proximal or transverse to the fingers?
The metacarpal bones are proximal to the fingers. They are closer than the fingers to the origin of the hand.
What bone is in the palm?
Metacarpal bones
Osteotomy on the fingers metacarpal procedure?
An osteotomy on the fingers metacarpal is a surgical procedure where the bone in the metacarpal of a finger is cut and reshaped to correct deformities or improve function. It is commonly done to correct conditions like arthritis or fractures that affect the metacarpal bone. The procedure aims to realign the bone and restore proper function and alignment in the finger.
How long should you tape a deep bruise in your metacarpal?
You should tape a bruise as long as it takes for it to heal. This somewhat depends on which metacarpal is affected.
Do humans walk on metatarsal or metacarpal?
metatarsals
