Bones of hand
In human anatomy, the metacarpal bones or metacarpus, also known as the "palm bones", are the appendicular bones that form the intermediate part of the hand between the phalanges and the carpal bones, which articulate with the forearm. The metacarpal bones are homologous to the metatarsal bones in the foot. Wikipedia
