This is the wrist and it is composed of eight (8) small regular bones They allow flexion and extension of the wrist and ulnar and radial deviation

Question 51

Metacarpals

Answer 51

These are five (5) bones which make up the bones of the palm of the hand When you clench your fist, the heads of the metacarpals become prominent and are called your knuckles

Question 52

Phalanges

Answer 52

These are the bones of the fingers or digits There are 14 bones consisting of 3 phalanges on each finger and 2 in the thumb  The outer most bones are called distal, the middle is called medial, and the ones nearest the hand are called proximal The thumb has only distal and proximal phalanges
