These bones are located in the wrist. Metatarsals are located towards the ankle
A cow has five metacarpal bones in each forelimb. These bones are located between the carpals (wrist bones) and the phalanges (finger bones) and help provide structure and support to the hoof.
The metacarpal bones are five in numbers and anatomically placed in the hand (in palm). Hence it makes a total of 10 metacarpal bones in two hands.The metacarpal bones can also be placed in the category of long bones of upper extremities after humerous, radius and ulna.Common characteristics are:1. The base (Carpal extremity)2. The body (The Shaft)3. The head (distal extremity)The Base or Carpal extremity articulates with the carpal bones and with the adjoining metacarpal bones.The body is the shaft of the metacarpal bone. (medial area)The head or the Distal extremity articulates with the proximal end of phalanx.So far, it is clear that metacarpal bones are attached with proximal phalanges one side and with carpal bones on the other side, hence it can be concluded that metacarpal bones make the palm.Now I think that the reader might have got his desired answer.Answered by:Ayaz AhmedLecturer, Biomedical Engineering Deptt.SIMS, Indore (MP), IndiaMob: 9425069195
The human hand has 27 bones: the carpus or wrist account for 8; the metacarpals or palm contains five; the remaining fourteen are digital bones; fingers and thumb. The human foot has 26 bones in the hind-foot, the mid-foot, and the forefoot.
The metacarpal bones connect the wrist bones (carpals) to the bones in the fingers (phalanges). They form the middle part of the hand between the wrist and the fingers.
The metacarpal bones are found in the hand, between the wrist and the fingers. There are five metacarpal bones in each hand, numbered one through five starting from the thumb side. These bones form the framework of the palm and provide structure and support for the hand.
The palm contains five metacarpal bones, while the center of the foot has five metatarsal bones. So, they both contain the same number of bones which is five in each.
The metacarpal bones are proximal to the fingers. They are closer than the fingers to the origin of the hand.
Metacarpal bones
A pig has four metacarpal bones in each forefoot. Humans have five in each foot, a rhinoceros has three, sheep and cows have two.
the scientific name of a species is equus burchelli. Based on what the name tells you about its taxonomic classification describe what you would expect the arrangement of its metacarpal bones to be how did you draw your conclusions?

Metacarpal bones
splints
Cats have five main toes on their front paws and four on their back paws, along with various smaller bones known as sesamoid bones that help with movement and stability. The bones in a cat's foot include the metacarpal and metatarsal bones, phalanges (toe bones), as well as the tarsal bones in the hind foot, which are similar to the bones in a human foot. These bones work together with muscles, ligaments, and tendons to provide structure and support for the cat's foot and enable them to move and balance effectively.
· 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 handsMTP=Meta Tarsal PhalangesMCP= Meta Carpal Phalanges
