There are 27 in each hand and foot.
Despite being short in size, the phalanges have growth plates that ultimately form an epiphysis head at either end of the shaft of the bone causing them to be longer than they are wide so they are actually classified as long bones.
Long bones are classified as being longer than they are wide while short bones are typically cubed shaded.

∙ 15y agoA Phalanx bone (pleural phalanges) are the bones in the digits, both fingers and toes. These arethe bones that lie between what is known as the knickles and so the number in each digit should be obvious, 2 on each thumb and big toe and 3 in the rest. The joints between the phalanges are called interphalangeal joints and are simple synovial hinge joints.

It consists of two bones, the radius and the ulna.The Radius is closest to your thumb. There aren't and bones actually connected.So it's the radius.... =] hope I helped!! :)

Where is the hand bone located?
Musically, it would be connected to the "arm bone" (or "wrist bone", depending on the version).Anatomically, there's no such thing as a "hand bone" (there's no "arm bone" or "wrist bone" either), at least not in the sense that there's a single bone known by that name. The hand (and arm, and wrist) contain multiple bones.The bones in the hand are called phalanges (the bones in the fingers and thumb) and metacarpals (the bones buried in the palm). If your version of "Dem Bones" has the hand bone connected to the arm bone without an intermediate "wrist bone", then the "hand bone" would include the carpals (in the wrist) as well (or maybe those are lumped into "arm bone"; the song is so imprecise it's hard to tell).The carpals all have individual names. The metacarpals are numbered.based on what finger they're in (the thumb is 1, and the numbering goes up moving toward the pinky). The phalanges are numbered as well (the same number as the metacarpal they connect with), with the one that actually has a joint with the metacarpal being the "proximal" phalange, and the one furthest away being the "distal" phalange. In the fingers (but not the thumb) there's a phalange between those two, known (sensibly) as the "intermediate" phalange. So the "fourth proximal phalange" of the left hand would be the one normally surrounded by a wedding ring.Technically that doesn't answer your question, so here's the literal answer. This should have been obvious, but the "hand bone(s)" are located in the hand.
