distal and largest wrist bone
The medial bone of the distal carpals is the pisiform bone. It is a small, pea-shaped bone located on the palmar aspect of the wrist. It articulates with the triquetrum bone and helps support the structure of the wrist joint.
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.
Periosteum is the type of bone that covers the surface of every bone in the body. It is a dense layer of vascular connective tissue that provides nourishment and serves as a protective layer for bones.
The type of bone that makes up the majority of the diaphysis of a long bone such as the humerus is compact bone. The diaphysis is the shaft of the bone that contains bone marrow and adipose tissue.
Osteocytes are the most abundant bone cell type comprising about 95% of all bone cells. Although relatively inert, they are capable of molecular modification and synthesis.
The capitate is a type of carpal bone. This bone is the largest of the carpal bones and is found in the center of the wrist.
The capitate bone is a bone in the human hand. The capitate bone is the largest of the carpal bones, and occupies the center of the wrist.
The capitate bone.

There are 206 bones in in an adult humans body. The Capitate bone is located in the human hand specifically near the base of the hand and just before the wrist,

The Capitate and the Trapezoid

The metacarpals articulate proximally with the carpals. In particular, the first metacarpal articulates with the trapezium. The second articulates with the trapezium, trapezoid, and capitate. The third articulates with the capitate. The fourth articulates with the capitate and hamate. The fifth metacarpal articulates with the hamate.
