Manus
The hand consists of wrist bones, metacarpal bones, and the skeleton of the fingers (phalanges of the hand). The wrist bones consist of short spongy bones arranged in two rows, four in each. The upper row consists of the pisiform, triquetrum, lunate, and scaphoid bones, while the lower row consists of the hook bone, capitate, trapezoid, and trapezium; The metacarpal bones are five short tubular bones. They are differentiated into a base, body, and head. The skeleton of the fingers consists of short tubular bones - phalanges. Each finger, except for the thumb, has three phalanges: proximal, middle, and distal. The thumb has only two phalanges - proximal and distal. Interesting fact: The human hand contains 27 bones, which is a quarter of all the bones in the body. This allows it to have a wide range of movements and precise motor skills.
