What is type of joint found at the base of the thumb?
The thumb is made up of two phalanges (one distal phalanx and one proximal phalanx), and one metacarpal. At the "visible base" of the thumb, or where the thumb seems to enter the hand, there is a condyloid synovial joint, which involves the articulation of the proximal phalanx on the first metacarpal. The TRUE base of the thumb is where the first metacarpal articulates with the trapezium (a carpal bone of the hand). This joint is a saddle-type synovial joint.

Is there a name for each section of people's fingers?
Yes there is. The bones in the palm of your hand are known as the metacarpals. The next bone runs from the metacarpals to the first knuckle. This bone is known as th proximal phalanx and is joined to the metacarpals by the metacarpophalangeal joint. The bone between the first knuckle and the second knuckle is known as the middle phalanx, and the bone from the seconf knuckle to the tip of your finger is known as the distal phalanx.
