Question

What is the most distal interphalangeal joint? How many carpal bones are in the wrist?

Answer 1

Answer:

"proximal interphalangeal joints" (PIJ or PIP), those between the first (also called proximal) and second (intermediate) phalanges.

"distal interphalangeal joints" (DIJ or DIP), those between the second (intermediate) and third (distal) phalanges.

our wrist is made up of eight small bones (carpal bones) plus two long bones in your forearm — the radius and the ulna. The most commonly injured carpal bone is the scaphoid bone, located near the base of your thumb.
