   • Metacarpal Bones: -The palm of the hand contains five elongated metacarpal bones. -Carpometacarpal joint. -Metacarpophalangeal joint. -
     • Phalanx Bones: -The fingers and thumb contain 14 bones, each of which is called a phalanx bone (plural = phalanges), named after the ancient Greek phalanx (a rectangular block of soldiers). -The thumb (pollex) is digit number 1 and has two phalanges, a proximal phalanx, and a distal phalanx bone. -Digits 2 (index finger) through 5 (little finger) have three phalanges each, called the proximal, middle, and distal phalanx bones. -An interphalangeal joint is one of the articulations between adjacent phalanges of the digits.
