Identify the anatomical region

Using the Hand Anatomy and Bone Identification knowledge points

• The question asks for the bones that make up the wrist.
• The wrist is the anatomical bridge between the forearm and the hand.

Evaluate the given options

Using the Skeletal Anatomy and Bone Identification knowledge points

• metacarpals: These are the five bones that form the palm of the hand, located between the wrist and the fingers.
• carpals: These are the eight small bones that make up the wrist (carpus) itself.
• tarsals: These are the seven bones that make up the ankle and heel of the foot.
• phalanges: These are the bones of the fingers and toes.
• clavicles: These are the collarbones located in the shoulder girdle.

Select the correct bone group

Using the Hand Anatomy knowledge point

• The carpals are the specific bones that form the wrist joint.
