Question 1 • Sports Medicine 1a

What do the bones of the hands and feet have in common?

Answer
A
Both have 8 carpal bones.
B
Both have 5 ulnas.
C
Both have 33 vertebrae.
D
Both have 14 phalanges.

Explanation

Each hand has 14 phalanges: 3 in each of four fingers and 2 in the thumb. Each foot also has 14 phalanges: 3 in each of four toes and 2 in the big toe. So both hands and feet have 14 phalanges; carpal bones are found in the wrists, not the feet.
