What are the long hand bones proximal to the phalanges?
The long hand bones proximal to the phalanges are the metacarpals. They articulate with the carpals of the wrist at one end and the phalanges of the fingers at the other end. There are five metacarpal bones in each hand.

What is the joint called that is between the phalanges and is furthest away from the attachment to the wrist?
The joint between the phalanges that is furthest away from the attachment to the wrist is called the distal interphalangeal joint (DIP). This joint is located between the distal phalanx and the middle phalanx in the fingers and between the distal phalanx and the proximal phalanx in the thumb. The DIP allows for flexion and extension of the fingers.
What are the three groups that make up the wrist and hand?

How many carpals metacarpals and phalanges are there?
The human hand consists of 8 carpal bones, 5 metacarpal bones, and 14 phalanges. The carpal bones are organized into two rows at the wrist, while the metacarpals form the middle part of the hand. Each finger has three phalanges (proximal, middle, and distal), except for the thumb, which has two (proximal and distal). In total, this adds up to 27 bones in one hand.
What is carpals(wrist) phalagest(fingerstoes)?
Carpals refer to the eight small bones that make up the wrist, providing structure and facilitating movement between the forearm and hand. Phalanges are the bones of the fingers and toes, with each finger containing three phalanges (proximal, middle, and distal), except for the thumb, which has two. In the toes, each toe also consists of three phalanges, except for the big toe, which has two. Together, these bones enable dexterity and support various movements in the hands and feet.
