The scientific name for the carpals are carpals.
As a group they are called the carpals. Each carpal has their own name, such as scaphoid and capitate.
The wrist is made up of eight small bones known as the carpal bones. These bones are arranged in two rows of four and play a crucial role in the flexibility and movement of the wrist. Together with the bones of the forearm and hand, they facilitate a wide range of motions.
Carpels are part of the hand and Tarsels are part of the foot.
The three main bones in the wrist are the radius, ulna, and carpal bones. In the hand, the main bones are the metacarpals and phalanges.
The bone in the wrist which is the size of a pea is the Pisiform bone, which is one of the 8 carpal bones that make up the wrist. It is located in the row of carpal bones furthest away from the fingers and is on the little finger side of the hand.
There are typicaly more in your hand. There are 27 bones in your hand. There are 26 bones in your foot. (There are two sesimoid bones in you Big Toe but that is usually not counted.)
The anatomical adjective that describes the wrist is "carpal." This term refers to the eight small bones that make up the wrist region, collectively known as the carpal bones. These bones are crucial for the wrist's function and mobility, allowing for a range of movements in the hand.
There are eight bones in the carpus or human wrist. They are the scaphoid, lunate, triquetral, pisiform (sesamoid bone), trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate. A mnemonic used to remember them in order is "some lovers try positions that they can't handle." The carpus also exists on many four legged mammals but is called the knee. The bones are usually similar, though some animals may not have them all.
The carpal bones (wrist bones) make up the "floor" of the carpal tunnel and the transverse carpal tunnel ligament make up the top part of the tunnel.
