What sockets do fingers have?
Fingers have joints, which are composed of bones, ligaments, and tendons that allow for movement. Joints in the fingers include the metacarpophalangeal joints, proximal interphalangeal joints, and distal interphalangeal joints.
The only muscle capable of flexing the distal interphalangeal joints?
The only muscle capable of flexing the distal interphalangeal joints is the flexor digitorum profundus. This muscle originates from the ulna and interosseous membrane in the forearm and inserts on the distal phalanges of the fingers. It is responsible for flexing the distal interphalangeal joints while the flexor digitorum superficialis flexes the proximal interphalangeal joints.
What is the name of the knuckle joint?
The interphalangeal joints in the fingers are synovial hinge joints. The thumb metacarpal is a saddle joint. The metacarpo-phalangeal joints are synovial ellipsoid joints.
How many thumb joints?
The thumb has two joints: the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint at the base of the thumb and the interphalangeal (IP) joint at the tip of the thumb.

What sockets do fingers have?
Fingers have joints, which are composed of bones, ligaments, and tendons that allow for movement. Joints in the fingers include the metacarpophalangeal joints, proximal interphalangeal joints, and distal interphalangeal joints.
What is the interphalangeal joints?
Joint between the phalanges (interphalangeal joint) is hinge joint.
What section of the body consists of the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joint?
The hand consists of the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints. The metacarpophalangeal joints connect the fingers to the hand, while the interphalangeal joints connect the finger bones (phalanges) to each other.
The only muscle capable of flexing the distal interphalangeal joints?
The only muscle capable of flexing the distal interphalangeal joints is the flexor digitorum profundus. This muscle originates from the ulna and interosseous membrane in the forearm and inserts on the distal phalanges of the fingers. It is responsible for flexing the distal interphalangeal joints while the flexor digitorum superficialis flexes the proximal interphalangeal joints.
How many interphalangeal joints are in the hand?
Simply put, there are nine (9) interphalangeal joints in the hand. The hand consists of 5 digits numbered 1-5 from thumb to "pinkie". Digit 1 (thumb) has two phalanges one called the proximal phalanx and another called the distal phalanx. So, there is one interphalangeal joint between the proximal and distal phalanges of the thumb. Digits 2-5 each has three phalanges a proximal phalanx, a middle phalanx and a distal phalanx. So, each digit has 2 interphalangeal joints.
What joints are distal to the ankle?
Subtalor, Talo-calcaneo-navicular, tarso-metatarsal, Metatarsophalangeal, Interphalangeal joints
What muscle flexes the distal interphalangeal joints?
The flexor digitorum profundus
What is the name of the knuckle joint?
The interphalangeal joints in the fingers are synovial hinge joints. The thumb metacarpal is a saddle joint. The metacarpo-phalangeal joints are synovial ellipsoid joints.
Is osteoarthritis associated with hard nodules at the distal interphalangeal joints?
Yes. True
What is the joint in your fingers called?
