Detailed explanation-1: -In both genders, capitate and hamate are the first carpal bones to appear, followed by triquetral, and then by lunate. In females, the next development is the concomitant appearance of 3 bones, namely, scaphoid, trapezium and trapezoid.

Detailed explanation-2: -Phalanges. The 14 bones that are found in the fingers of each hand and also in the toes of each foot. Each finger has 3 phalanges (the distal, middle, and proximal); the thumb only has 2.

Detailed explanation-3: -The proximal row of carpal bones (moving from radial to ulnar) are the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pisiform, while the distal row of carpal bones (also from radial to ulnar) comprises the trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your wrist is made up of eight small bones (carpal bones) plus two long bones in your forearm-the radius and the ulna. Each finger consists of one hand bone (metacarpal) and three finger bones (phalanges), while each thumb consists of one metacarpal bone and two phalanges.
