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: -The eight carpal bones run in two rows of four. Scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pisiform make up the proximal row running from the radial to ulnar side. Trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate make up the distal row running from the radial to ulnar side.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are 8 carpal bones, which can easily be remembered with the mnemonic, “Some Lovers Try Positions That They Can’t Handle, ” representing the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate and hamate bones.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your wrist is made up of eight small bones called the carpal bones, or the carpus. These irregularly shaped bones join your hand to the two long forearm bones: the radius and ulna. The carpal bones are small square, oval, and triangular bones. The cluster of carpal bones in the wrist makes it both strong and flexible.
