The lunate bone is a carpal located in the hand.
The lunate bone is classified as a carpal bone in the wrist. It is one of the eight small bones that make up the carpal bones in the human hand.

The medial bone of the distal carpals is the pisiform bone. It is a small, pea-shaped bone located on the palmar aspect of the wrist. It articulates with the triquetrum bone and helps support the structure of the wrist joint.
The carpal bones are connected to the radius bone through the radiocarpal joint, which is a synovial joint that allows for movement of the wrist. The radius bone articulates with the scaphoid and lunate carpal bones at the wrist.
The six bones in the human arm are the humerus, radius, ulna, and the three bones in the wrist: the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum.
The styloid process of the Ulna (one of the bones of the forearm) is where the Ulna connects to the ligament of the wrist joint. The Triquetrum, Lunate and Pisiform carpal bones all lie distal to this. However the carpal bone most easily palpable is the Pisiform bone.

The term for a large rounded articulating knob is "lunate."
The carpus, also known as the wrist bones, consists of eight bones, including the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum.
The navicular bone is sometimes referred to scaphoid bone, which is one of the carpal bones in the wrist. It is also called the radiocarpal joint when it is associated with th radius and the lunate, another carpal bone. The three bones the form an ellipsoidal joint.
