Answer 4

The human hand contains 27 bones divided into three groups: the carpal bones in the wrist, the metacarpal bones forming the knuckles, and the phalanges, or finger bones.the 8 bones of the carpus, or wrist, arranged in two rows of four; the 5 bones of the metacarpus, or palm, one to each digit; and the 14 digital bones, or phalanges, 2 in the thumb and 3 in each finger. The carpal bones fit into a shallow socket formed by the bones of the forearm.The capitate bone is one of the eight carpal bones which constitute each wrist. This bone is located in the center of the distal row of the carpal bones.

The hamate bone is one of the eight carpal bones which constitute each wrist. The bone is so named because it features a hook-like prominence (hamulus) which articulates with the fourth and fifth metacarpals.

The lunate bone is one of the eight carpal bones which constitute each wrist. The bone, also called semilumar, is so named because its shape resembles a crescent moon.

The navicular bone is one of the eight carpal bones which constitute each wrist (and is also found in the foot). This bone is so named because its shape resembles that of a sailboat.

The pisiform bone is one of the eight carpal bones which constitute each wrist. This bone, also called the lentiform, is so named because its shape resembles a bean or pea. It is located on the ulnar side of the wrist, in the proximal row of carpal bones.

The trapezium bone is one of the eight carpal bones which constitute each wrist. This bone is the first carpal bone (in the distal row) on the thumb side of the hand.

The trapezoid bone is one of the eight carpal bones which constitute each wrist. This bone is in the distal row of the carpals, between the trapezium and the capitate bones.

The triquetrum is one of the eight carpal bones which constitute each wrist. This bone is so named because of its three-corner, or wedge-like, shape.

The hand features five long bones which extend between the carpals of the wrist and the phalanges (finger bones). The metacarpals are numbered beginning with that of the thumb. The head (distal end) of each metacarpal bone is bulbous at the site of articulation with the phalanges, and features small projections or knobs to which the ligaments of the fingers and palm attach.

Answer 5

The name Phalanges is commonly given to the bones that form fingers and toes. In primates such as humans and monkeys, the thumb and big toe have two phalanges, while the other fingers and toes consist of three. Phalanges are classified as long bones.

The phalanges do not really have individual names but are named after the digit, and their distance from the body.
