Which group of bones are located in the palm between the wrist and fingers?

• A. Carpals
• B. Metacarpals
• C. Metatarsals
• D. Phalanges

Answer: (B)

This question looks at the bones of the hand and where each group sits: the palm is formed by the metacarpals, which lie between the wrist and the fingers. There are five metacarpal bones, one for each finger, extending from the carpal bones of the wrist to the phalanges of the fingers at the knuckles. The carpal bones form the wrist, the phalanges are the finger bones, and the metatarsals are in the foot. So the bones in the palm between the wrist and fingers are the metacarpals.
