Bones

Accessory bone

An accessory bone or supernumerary bone is a bone that is not normally present in the body, but can be found as a variant in a significant number of people. Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and accessory bone are bones.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Accessory bone

Ankle

The ankle, the talocrural region or the jumping bone (informal) is the area where the foot and the leg meet.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Ankle

Capitate bone

The capitate bone is a bone in the human wrist found in the center of the carpal bone region, located at the distal end of the radius and ulna bones.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Capitate bone

Carpal bones

The carpal bones are the eight small bones that make up the wrist (carpus) that connects the hand to the forearm.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Carpal bones

Chimpanzee

The chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), also simply known as the chimp, is a species of great ape native to the forests and savannahs of tropical Africa.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Chimpanzee

Evolution

Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Evolution

Hamate bone

The hamate bone (from Latin hamatus, "hooked"), or unciform bone (from Latin uncus, "hook"), Latin os hamatum and occasionally abbreviated as just hamatum, is a bone in the human wrist readily distinguishable by its wedge shape and a hook-like process ("hamulus") projecting from its palmar surface.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Hamate bone

Horse

The horse (Equus ferus caballus) is a domesticated, one-toed, hoofed mammal.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Horse

Lunate bone

The lunate bone (semilunar bone) is a carpal bone in the human hand.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Lunate bone

Mammal

A mammal is a vertebrate animal of the class Mammalia.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Mammal

In human anatomy, the metacarpal bones or metacarpus, also known as the "palm bones", are the appendicular bones that form the intermediate part of the hand between the phalanges (fingers) and the carpal bones (wrist bones), which articulate with the forearm.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Metacarpal bones

The metatarsal bones or metatarsus (metatarsi) are a group of five long bones in the midfoot, located between the tarsal bones (which form the heel and the ankle) and the phalanges (toes).

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Metatarsal bones

Meyers Konversations-Lexikon

Meyers Konversations-Lexikon or Meyers Lexikon was a major encyclopedia in the German language that existed in various editions, and by several titles, from 1839 to 1984, when it merged with the Brockhaus Enzyklopädie.

Navicular bone

The navicular bone is a small bone found in the feet of most mammals.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Navicular bone

Pisiform bone

The pisiform bone, also spelled pisiforme (from the Latin pisiformis, pea-shaped), is a small knobbly, sesamoid bone that is found in the wrist.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Pisiform bone

Radius

In classical geometry, a radius (radii or radiuses) of a circle or sphere is any of the line segments from its center to its perimeter, and in more modern usage, it is also their length.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Radius

Scaphoid bone

The scaphoid bone is one of the carpal bones of the wrist.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Scaphoid bone

Tarsus (skeleton)

In the human body, the tarsus (tarsi) is a cluster of seven articulating bones in each foot situated between the lower end of the tibia and the fibula of the lower leg and the metatarsus.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Tarsus (skeleton)

Trapezium (bone)

The trapezium bone (greater multangular bone) is a carpal bone in the hand.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Trapezium (bone)

Trapezoid bone

The trapezoid bone (lesser multangular bone) is a carpal bone in tetrapods, including humans.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Trapezoid bone

Triquetral bone

The triquetral bone (also called triquetrum, pyramidal, three-faced, and formerly cuneiform bone) is located in the wrist on the medial side of the proximal row of the carpus between the lunate and pisiform bones.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Triquetral bone

Ulna

The ulna or ulnar bone (ulnae or ulnas) is a long bone in the forearm stretching from the elbow to the wrist.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Ulna

Vertebrate

Vertebrates are deuterostomal animals with bony or cartilaginous axial endoskeleton — known as the vertebral column, spine or backbone — around and along the spinal cord, including all fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.

See Carpus and tarsus of land vertebrates and Vertebrate

Wrist

In human anatomy, the wrist is variously defined as (1) the carpus or carpal bones, the complex of eight bones forming the proximal skeletal segment of the hand; "The wrist contains eight bones, roughly aligned in two rows, known as the carpal bones." (2) the wrist joint or radiocarpal joint, the joint between the radius and the carpus and; (3) the anatomical region surrounding the carpus including the distal parts of the bones of the forearm and the proximal parts of the metacarpus or five metacarpal bones and the series of joints between these bones, thus referred to as wrist joints.
