The phalanges are fairly simple bones.

Hand anatomy bones. Phalanges distal the bones of the fingers. The opisthenar area dorsal is the corresponding area on the posterior part of the hand. Proximal middle and distal phalanges.

The forearms ulna and radius support the many muscles that manipulate the bones of the hand and wrist. The palm includes five metacarpals and each finger except the thumb contains one proximal phalanx one middle phalanx and one distal phalanx. The finger and thumb bones are called the phalanges.

The rest of the fingers have three phalanges each. The proximal phalanx of the fingers is the proximal or first bone in the fingers when counting from the hand to the tip of the finger. A total of 27 bones constitute the basic skeleton of the wrist and hand 8 carpals 5 metacarpals 14 phalanges 3 for each digit except thumb which has 2.

These are located in the wrist area. These hand bones are five in number with each one of them relating to some digit. The palm volar which is the central region of the anterior part of the hand.

The wrist is a complex mechanical system of 8 small bones known as the carpal bones. There are three phalanges in each finger. Hand bones hand bones anatomy and structure.

The hand is innervated by the median ulnar and radial nerves each of which has sensory and motor components. Each hand contains 27 distinct bones that give the hand an incredible range and precision of motion. The wrist links the hand to the arm.

The heel of the hand is the area anteriorly to the bases of the metacarpal bones. However the intrinsic muscles of the hand are only partially responsible for all its range of motion. The carpal bones are arranged in 2 interrelated rows.

Metacarpals there are five metacarpals each one related to a digit. Areas of the human hand include. The proximal phalanx is the largest of the three bones in each finger.

The hand itself consists of specific bones onto which various muscles are attached and a collection of neurovascular structures responsible for drainage and innervation. They can be divided into three categories. Anatomy of the hand and wrist.

Bones muscles tendons nerves. One row connects with the ends of the bones in the forearm radius and ulna. A proximal phalanx articulates with the first metacarpal and a distal phalanx forms the tip of the thumb.

Carpal bones proximal a set of eight irregularly shaped bones. We use our hands in performing so many minor as well as major. Each hand consists of 19 bones.

Each finger has three phalanges. The bones of the hand and wrist provide the body with support and flexibility to manipulate objects in many different ways.
