Carpal bones
The
carpal bones are the eight small
bones that make up the
wrist (or carpus) that connects the
hand to the
forearm. This term derives its meaning from the
Latin and the
Greek (karpós), both meaning "
wrist." In
human anatomy, the main role of the wrist is to facilitate effective positioning of the hand and powerful use of the extensors and flexors of the forearm, and the mobility of individual carpal bones increase the freedom of movements at the wrist.
