Detailed explanation-1: -The carpal bones are bones of the wrist that connect the distal aspects of the radial and ulnar bones of the forearm to the bases of the five metacarpal bones of the hand. There are eight carpal bones, which divide into two rows: a proximal row and a distal row.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your wrist is made up of eight small bones (carpal bones) plus two long bones in your forearm-the radius and the ulna.

Detailed explanation-3: -These 8 bones are named for their unique shapes; Scaphoid (boat), Lunate(Crescent), Triquetrum(3-cornered), Pisiform(pea), Trapezuim(Table), Trapezoid(quadrilateral), Capitate(head shaped), and Hamate (hook-shaped).

Detailed explanation-4: -The eight carpal bones (scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, hamate, capitate, trapezoid, and trapezium) are arranged in two rows between the metacarpal bases distally and the distal radius and ulna (with the intervening TFCC) proximally (Fig.

Detailed explanation-5: -Scaphoid. The scaphoid is a bone in the wrist. Lunate. The lunate is a bone in the middle of the wrist in the first row of wrist bones. Triquetrum. Trapezoid. Trapezium. Capitate. Hamate. Pisiform. More items
