Wrist bones are called which group?

• A. Carpals
• B. Metacarpals
• C. Phalanges
• D. Radius

Answer: (A)

Wrist bones are the carpals. The carpals are eight small bones that make up the wrist (the carpus) and sit between the forearm and the hand. They’re arranged in two rows and connect with the radius to form the wrist joint and with the metacarpals to form the hand’s base. The other terms refer to different parts: metacarpals are the bones of the palm, phalanges are the finger bones, and the radius is a forearm bone that helps form the wrist joint but isn’t itself a wrist bone.
