If you pronate your hand from anatomical position, you can see metacarpals one through five. the Trapezium is proximal to the first metacarpal as is the trapezoid to the second. The capitate is the most medial of the carpals and the largest. The hamate is proximal to the fourth and fifth metacarpals and lateral to the capitate. But if you supinate your hand back to anatomical position the hamate is more medial. Hint: the first metacarpal is in reference to the thumb.

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
