Hands :)
The metacarpals are bones in the hand, specifically the palm area, while the phalanges are bones in the fingers and thumb. They make up the structure of the hand and enable movements like grasping and fine motor skills.
Your metacarpals are to let you move your hand back-and-forth and to grab stuff
Phalanges are bones in your fingers and metacarpals and carpals and bones in your hands and wrists. Metatarsals and tarsals are bones in your feet and ankles.
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 metatarsals are a group of 5 bones in the foot that connect to the Phalanges(Toe Bones)...They are similar in structure to the metacarpals that are in the hands...Diagrams can be found here:http://www.sloc.org/edfootankle.htm
Bones of Cranium are connected in human body by so called 'Suture' joint.Skull contains mandible also connected by Synovial joint.
The hand has 27 bones, including the wrist bones (carpals), the bones in the palm of the hand (metacarpals), and the bones in the fingers (phalanges). This complex arrangement of bones gives the hand its dexterity and ability to perform intricate tasks.
A normal adult human's body contains 206 bones.
A mammalian skeleton contains just one breast bone, it is called the sternum.
The term carpal means pertaining to the wrist. The metacarpals are the bones in the palm of your hand. They form joints with the wrist bones (carpus) and the fingers (phalanges). See link below:
The radius and ulna are proximal to the carpal bones. The carpals are distal to the radius and ulna.
