Next to the Radius, connects to the pinky side of the wrist.
Term
Carpals
Definition
The bones in your wrist. (Pisiform, Triquetrum, Lunate, Capitate, Hamate, Scapoid, Trapezoid, Trapezium.)
Term
Pisiform
Definition
A small rounded carpal bone situated where the palm of the hand meets the outer edge of the wrist.
Term
Pisiform
Definition
The triquetral bone (also called triquetrum bone, pyramidal bone, three-cornered bone, and triangular bone) is located in the wrist on the medial side of the proximal row of the carpus between the lunate and pisiform bones
Term
Lunate
Definition
The lunate bone (semilunar bone) is a carpal bone (wrist bone) in the human hand that may be distinguished by its deep concavity and crescentic outline. It is situated in the center of the proximal row of the carpus (wrist) region between the fore arm and hand
Term
Capitate
Definition
The capitate bone is a bone in the human hand. The capitate bone is the largest of the carpal bones, and occupies the center of the wrist.
Term
Hamate
Definition
the wrist bone in line with the 4th and 5th fingers
Term
Scapoid
Definition
The largest wrist bone on the thumb side
Term
Trapezoid
Definition
The wrist bone between the Trapezium and the Capitate bones
Term
Trapezium
Definition
The wrist bone on the thumb side of the hand that articulates with the 1st and 2nd metacarpals
Term
Metacarpals
Definition
The bones of the hand between the wrist and fingers
Term
Phalanges
Definition
One of the bones of the finger or toe, also called phalanx;
Term
Proximal Phalanges
Definition
The bones at the base of a toe or finger, the prominent, knobby ends of which are often called the knuckles.
Term
Distal Phalanges
Definition
The bones located at the tip of the fingers or toes
Term
Medial Phalanges
Definition
Between the proximal and distal phalanges

A rib that is attached directly to the sternum
Term
False Ribs
Definition
The false ribs are the five sets of ribs below the top seven true ribs.
Term
