ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) are a collection of condyloid joints that connect the metacarpus, or palm of the hand, to the fingers. There are five separate metacarpophalangeal joints that connect each metacarpal bone to the corresponding proximal phalanx of each finger.

Detailed explanation-2: -Metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) The MCP joint is formed between the metacarpal bones and the proximal phalanges of the fingers.

Detailed explanation-3: -An example of condyloid joints is the wrist. Condyloid joints are also found in the hands and allow for the movement of fingers.

Detailed explanation-4: -The carpometacarpal joint of the thumb is a condyloid synovial saddle joint between the trapezium and the first metacarpal. It is separate from the other CMCs in the hand. It allows flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction and opposition (medial rotation with flexion).

Detailed explanation-5: -A condyloid joint is a modified ball and socket joint that allows for flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction movements.
