- Cover photo description:
- The sternum or breastbone is a long flat bone located in the central part of the chest. It connects to the ribs via cartilage and forms the front of the rib cage, thus helping to protect the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels from injury. In human anatomy, the metacarpal bones or metacarpus, form the intermediate part of the skeletal hand located between the phalanges of the fingers and the carpal bones of the wrist which forms the connection to the forearm. The metacarpal bones are analogous to the metatarsal bones in the foot. The carpal bones are the eight small bones that make up the wrist or carpus that connects the hand to the forearm. The term `carpus` is derived from the Latin carpus and the Greek καÏπός karpós, meaning `wrist`. Tarsals – a set of seven irregularly shaped bones. They are situated proximally in the foot in the ankle area. Metatarsals – connect the phalanges to the tarsals. There are five in number – one for each digit. Phalanges – the bones of the toes. Metatarsals are part of the bones of the mid-foot and are tubular in shape. They are named by numbers and start from the medial side outward. The phalanges are the bones that make up the fingers of the hand and the toes of the foot. There are 56 phalanges in the human body, with fourteen on each hand and foot. Three phalanges are present on each finger and toe, with the exception of the thumb and large toe, which possess only two.
