Metacarpal bones

The Meta-Carpal Bones are a group of 5 bones in the hand/wrist..

The location of the Meta-Carpal Bones are indicated in the diagram opposite - where all the carpal bones are shaded pink to identify them as meta-carpal bones.

See the Revision page about Bones of the Hand, Wrist and Lower-Arms for further information including a larger fully labelled diagram. This may be particularly interesting study/revision material for students following courses in Reflexology because such courses generally require a good basic knowledge of the skeletal structures of the hands and feet.
