Answer:

The wrist links the hand to the forearm. The wrist is a complex system of many small bones (known as the carpal bones) and ligaments. The carpal bones are arranged in 2 interrelated rows. One row connects with the ends of the bones in the forearm—the radius and ulna. If you hold your hand in the thumbs-up position, the bone on the top of your forearm is the radius; the one on the bottom is the ulna.

The other row of carpal bones connects with the bones of the palm of the hand. There are synovial joints between the carpal bones in the wrist. The joint surfaces, where the bones meet, are covered with articular cartilage. Articular cartilage is smooth and slick, which enables very smooth and pain-free motion.

The hand is made up of many bones: 5 elongated metacarpal bones, which are next to the wrist and help to make up the palm; 14 phalanges which make up the fingers. Each finger is made up of 3 phalanges; the thumb is made up of 2. These 19 bones collectively form 14 separate joints. The knuckles, known as the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, join the fingers to the palm. The interphalangeal (IP) joints are the finger joints. All of these small joints are known as synovial joints and are covered with articular cartilage.
