These two long bones allow us to twist our hands from side to side. At the end of the radius and ulna is the carpals or wrist. The carpals are not, however, where most people think their wrist is. The true wrist, the carpus, is at what most people consider the base of their hand. The palm of the hand is supported by the metacarpals.
Phalanges make up the fingers.
Each finger, with the exception of the thumb, has three phalanges. The thumb has only two phalanges. The pelvis connects the lower appendages to the rest of the body. It also provides support for the internal organs. The flaring sides of the pelvis are referred to as the ilium.
