The bones in the human hand are categorized into three groups: the carpal bones (wrist), metacarpal bones (palm), and phalanges (fingers). The eight carpal bones are scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate. The five metacarpal bones are numbered 1 to 5, starting from the thumb to the little finger. Each finger has three phalanges (proximal, middle, and distal), except the thumb, which has two (proximal and distal).
