A

Condyloid is convex an ellipsoid is convex

24
Q

State the bones which form the proximal and distal carpal bones.

A

The proximal row of carpal bones (moving from radial to ulnar) are the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pisiform, while the distal row of carpal bones (also from radial to ulnar) comprises the trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate.

A

Transverse ligament

29
Q

Which nerve supplies Opponens Pollicis?

A

Median nerve

30
Q

Which arteries supply the hand?

A

Triquetrum

35
Q

Which two tendons contribute towards the formation of the anatomical snuff box?

39
Q

Which ligament stabilizes the metacarpal phalangeal junction?

A

Transverse metacarpal ligament

40
Q

Which ligaments prevents displacement of the metatarsal bones?
What is the articulation between the metacarpal joints called? What type of joint is this?
