  2. Carpal bones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpal_bones

    The term "carpus" and "carpal" is derived from the Latin carpus and the Greek καρπός (karpós), meaning "wrist". In human anatomy, the main role of the carpal bones is to articulate with the radial and ulnar heads to form a highly mobile condyloid joint (i.e. wrist joint), [1] to provide attachments for thenar and hypothenar muscles, and ...

    24922. Anatomical terminology. [ edit on Wikidata] In human anatomy, the wrist is variously defined as (1) the carpus or carpal bones, the complex of eight bones forming the proximal skeletal segment of the hand; [ 1 ][ 2 ] (2) the wrist joint or radiocarpal joint, the joint between the radius and the carpus [ 2 ] and; (3) the anatomical region ...

  4. Carpometacarpal joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpometacarpal_joint

    Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The carpometacarpal (CMC) joints are five joints in the wrist that articulate the distal row of carpal bones and the proximal bases of the five metacarpal bones. The CMC joint of the thumb or the first CMC joint, also known as the trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint, differs significantly from the other ...

    9612. Anatomical terms of bone. [edit on Wikidata] In human anatomy, the metacarpal bones or metacarpus, also known as the "palm bones", are the appendicular bones that form the intermediate part of the hand between the phalanges (fingers) and the carpal bones (wrist bones), which articulate with the forearm. The metacarpal bones are homologous ...

  6. Scaphoid bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaphoid_bone

    Scaphoid bone shown in red. The scaphoid bone is one of the carpal bones of the wrist. It is situated between the hand and forearm on the thumb side of the wrist (also called the lateral or radial side). It forms the radial border of the carpal tunnel. The scaphoid bone is the largest bone of the proximal row of wrist bones, its long axis being ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulna

    Anatomical terms of bone. [ edit on Wikidata] The ulna or ulnar bone (pl.: ulnae or ulnas) [ 3 ] is a long bone in the forearm stretching from the elbow to the wrist. It is on the same side of the forearm as the little finger, running parallel to the radius, the forearm's other long bone.

  8. Pisiform bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisiform_bone

    The pisiform bone is a small bone found in the proximal row of the wrist (carpus). It is situated where the ulna joins the wrist, within the tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle. [1]: 199, 205. It only has one side that acts as a joint, articulating with the triquetral bone. It is on a plane anterior to the other carpal bones and is ...

  9. Intercarpal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercarpal_joints

    Joints of the hand, X-ray. The bones in each carpal row interlock with each other and each row can therefore be considered a single joint. In the proximal row a limited degree of mobility is possible, but the bones of the distal row are connected to each other and to the metacarpal bones by strong ligaments that make this row and the metacarpus a functional entity.
