Answer 2

The skeleton of the wrist consists of eight small "carpal bones" that are firmly bound in two rows of four bones each. The resulting mass is the "carpus." The eight bones are the "pisiform," "triangular" or "triquetrum," the "pisiform," "lunate," and "scaphoid" on the upper end of the wrist, where it connects with ligaments and the lower arm bones, and the "hamate," "capitate," "trapezoid," and "trapezium" on the lower side of the hand by the "metacarpals," or first joint of the fingers.

The foot consists of an ankle, an instep, and five toes. The ankle is composed of seven "tarsal bones," forming a group called the tarsus.
