Hand Bones & Wrist Bones (Phalanges, Carpals, Metacarpals): Anatomy and Physiology

preview_player
Показать описание
This anatomy and physiology lesson covers the hand bones and wrist bones of the appendicular skeleton. The hand consists of long bones, while the wrist bones are classified as short bones.

The hand and wrist bones include the 14 phalanges (finger bones), 5 metacarpals (palm bones), and the 8 carpals (wrist bones).

The phalanges are named after directional terms: You have the distal, middle, and proximal phalanx of each finger. The fingers have three phalanges each, except for the thumb, which has only two phalanges (distal and proximal).

The metacarpals are distal to the carpals. They are numbered 1-5, with the thumb being metacarpal 1, and the little finger being metacarpal 5.

The bones of the phalanges have a base, shaft, and head portion.

The bones of the wrist (carpals) are as follows:

-Trapezium
-Scaphoid
-Lunate
-Triquetral
-Pisiform
-Hamate
-Capitate
-Trapezoid

To remember these bones, remember the mnemonic "To Save Lives, The Physician Helps Create Treatments."

I am so happy I just stumbled across your channel. I am in school to be a medical assistant and this channel is absolutely amazing. What a blessing you guys are for sharing your knowledge with us. I can’t thank you enough, you have made me understand things so much better than just my lectures in class and my material from class also.

I came here because I had forgotten my mnemonic.
Some lovers try positions that they can't handle
Scaphoid Lunate Triquetrium pisiform trapizium trapezoid capitate hamate
In anatomical position, start laterally with proximal row, move medial across carpals once, then go medial across distal row.
There's three bones that start with T. In my mnemonic "try" represents TRIquetrum, so that helps me remember that one. Trapizium almost kinda rhymes with thumb, so they are close. And Trapezoid is what's left.

We can remember the names of carpel bones by a formula (3TSP of HCL)
3T= trapezium, trapezoid, triquetra
S= scaphoid
P= pisiform
HCL
H= hamate
C= capitate
L= lunate
