The bones of the hand are the carpals (wrist bones), metacarpals (bones under the palm), and phalanges (finger bones). Part of the wrist would include the radius if you consider the wrist part of the hand. The carpals, by name, are the trapezoid, scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, capitate, trapezium, and hamate. The three distinct phalanges are the proximal, middle, and distal phalanges.

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.


What type of synovial joint is the metacarpal phalanx?

The metacarpal phalangeal joint is a condyloid joint. This type of joint allows for flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and circumduction movements.
