Each metacarpal bone connects to one finger at a joint called the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP joint). They connect to 5 metacarpal bones that form the palm of the hand. These wrist bones are attached to the radius and ulna of the forearm to form the wrist joint. The wrist is comprised of 8 carpal bones.
It is important to understand the normal anatomy of the hand to learn more about diseases and conditions that can affect our hands. The hands enable us to perform many of our daily activities such as driving, writing and cooking.
The human hand is made up of the wrist, palm, and fingers and consists of 27 bones, 27 joints, 34 muscles, over 100 ligaments and tendons, and many blood vessels and nerves.
