Bones that form the palm of the hand?
The bones that form the palm of the hand are known as the metacarpal bones. There are five metacarpal bones in each hand, labeled numerically from the thumb side (lateral) to the little finger side (medial) as 1 to 5. These bones make up the structure of the palm and provide the framework for finger movement and dexterity.
Which bone articulates with the 4th metacarpal?
The fourth metacarpal bone articulates with the fourth proximal phalanx in the hand.
What is the name of any phalanx that articulates with the distal end of a metacarpal?
Each phalanx that articulates with the distal end of a metacarpal is a proximal phalanx. These phalanges are numbered one through five to distinguish them.
What kind of bone is a metacarpal?
The metacarpal bones are five in numbers and anatomically placed in the hand (in palm). Hence it makes a total of 10 metacarpal bones in two hands.The metacarpal bones can also be placed in the category of long bones of upper extremities after humerous, radius and ulna.Common characteristics are:1. The base (Carpal extremity)2. The body (The Shaft)3. The head (distal extremity)The Base or Carpal extremity articulates with the carpal bones and with the adjoining metacarpal bones.The body is the shaft of the metacarpal bone. (medial area)The head or the Distal extremity articulates with the proximal end of phalanx.So far, it is clear that metacarpal bones are attached with proximal phalanges one side and with carpal bones on the other side, hence it can be concluded that metacarpal bones make the palm.Now I think that the reader might have got his desired answer.Answered by:Ayaz AhmedLecturer, Biomedical Engineering Deptt.SIMS, Indore (MP), IndiaMob: 9425069195
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 position of the proximal phalanx relative to the metacarpal?
The proximal phalanx is distal to the metacarpal for each of the five fingers. It is farther from the base of the hand than the metacarpal.
Which metacarpal is immediate proximate to the little finger?
v
Are metacarpal bones proximal or transverse to the fingers?
The metacarpal bones are proximal to the fingers. They are closer than the fingers to the origin of the hand.
What finger do doctors call your middle finger?
It is called the third finger, or by hard analysis "the Saturn finger."In terms of a medical reference, it would be broken into 4 parts; the metacarpal, proximal phalange, intermediate phalange, and distal phalange

Which bone is immediately distal to the first metacarpal?
The proximal phalanx of the thumb is immediately distal to the first metacarpal. In other words, the bone of the lower thumb connects to the first metcarpal.
Osteotomy on the fingers metacarpal procedure?
An osteotomy on the fingers metacarpal is a surgical procedure where the bone in the metacarpal of a finger is cut and reshaped to correct deformities or improve function. It is commonly done to correct conditions like arthritis or fractures that affect the metacarpal bone. The procedure aims to realign the bone and restore proper function and alignment in the finger.
