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. |
