This framework comprises three key sections: the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The eight small carpals (wrist bones) interlock, enabling flexion, extension, and rotation. Imagine them as cleverly designed building blocks allowing for a surprising range of motion. These provide a stable base for the hand's more distal structures.
