Carpels and metacarpels.
Proximal phalanges
metacarpals
The metacarpals are the bones that form the palm of the hand.
The bones in your palm are called: Metacarpals.
There are 27 bones in a human hand. There are 14 phalanges; proximal, medial (all except the thumb), and distal in the fingers. 5 metacarpals, I, II, III, IV, & V in the hand. 8 carpals: scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, hamate, capitate, trapezoid, and trapezium in the wrist. One-fourth of all of your bones are in your hands. And half of all your bones are in your hands and feet, since the feet have another 52 bones.
The hand is one of the more complex features of the skeletal system. The first and foremost reason is that the hand is not made from 1-2 connecting bones. In fact, the hand contains exactly 27 bones connected by ligaments and other soft tissue. The palmar (palm) region of the hand contains 8 of the 27 bones known as the Carpals.
