Hand bones
Hand bones. Computer artwork of a healthy hand and wrist joint. There are eight wrist (carpal) bones (bottom right). The carpal bones articulate with the bones of the forearm, the ulna (bottom left) and the radius (above the ulna) to form the wrist joint. From the carpal bones the five metacarpals extend through the palm and join to the phalanges, the finger bones

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a healthy hand and wrist joint. Through computer artwork, the image reveals the underlying structure of this vital part of our anatomy. At the bottom right corner, we can observe eight wrist bones known as carpal bones. These small yet crucial elements connect with the ulna on the bottom left side and the radius above it to form what is commonly referred to as the wrist joint. The five metacarpals extend gracefully through our palm, ultimately joining with phalanges - also known as finger bones. This interlocking system allows for dexterity and mobility in our hands, enabling us to perform various tasks effortlessly. The illustration not only highlights these essential skeletal components but also emphasizes their significance within biology and human physiology. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are, showcasing both strength and flexibility. Through this computer-generated artwork from Science Photo Library, viewers gain insight into an often overlooked aspect of their own physicality. The image invites contemplation about how each bone plays its role in allowing us to grasp objects or create delicate movements with our fingers. Overall, this mesmerizing print captures both scientific accuracy and aesthetic beauty while celebrating one of nature's remarkable creations –the human hand.
