Answer 1

The skeleton of the hand consists of the proximal carpals, the intermediate metacarpals, and the distal phalanges.

The carpus (wrist) is the proximal region of the hand and consists of eight small bones, the carpals,

The metacarpus, or palm, is the intermediate region of the hand and consists of five bones called metacarpals. Each metacarpal bone consists of a proximal base, an intermediate shaft, and a distal head,The metacarpal bones are numbered I to V (or 1–5), starting with the thumb, from lateral to medial.

The phalanges, or bones of the digits, make up the distal part of the hand. There are 14 phalanges in the five digits of each hand and, like the metacarpals, the digits are numbered I to V (or 1–5), beginning with the thumb, from lateral to medial. A single bone of a digit is referred to as a phalanx

Each phalanx consists of a proximal base, an intermediate shaft, and a distal head. The thumb has two phalanges, and there are three phalanges in each of the other four digits.
