Answer 2

Ok so the major bones of the foot are the tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges... The tarsals are the bunch of small bones that make up your ankle. The metatarsals are the longer bones that lead out from the tarsals and make up the majority of your foot.They provide the balance and stability that allows you to stand upright. Lastly, the phalanges are the long skinny bones that make up your toes. They also help with balance and if you get some of your toes cut off I've heard that you have to learn how to walk all over again because it throws off your whole balance. If you google tarsals, metatarsals, or phalanges it will bring up a few pretty good pictures and some good information. I'm not a doctor but I hope to be after I graduate college. Hope that helped you out a little bit! ^-^

Answer 3

8 in wrist, 19 in hand and fingers

Which would make 27. Now, consider this-h is the eighth letter of the alphabet, a is the first, n is the fourteenth, and d is the fourth.

8+1+14+4=27 (H+A+N+D=27)
C)27

Answer 4

none of the above ... it would be C)27 if you are including the wrist bones.
There are 19 in the hand :14 Phalanges (finger bones) and 5 Metacarpals (bones in the palm).
There are 8 carpal bones in the wrist.

Answer 5

Sorry, there's no right answer.

C could be right, but... A human has 27 bones in their hands ONLY if you count the carpals (wrist bones) as part of the hand as well.

Otherwise you have 19 bones per hand.
