Eight. Proximal row contains from lateral to medial side four bones. They are Scaphoid, Lunate, triqurtal and Pisiform. Distal row contains from lateral to medial side four bones. They are Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate and Hammate.( Out of these fracture of Scaphoid is very dangerous if untreated.

(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
