The arm is divided into three general regions. The first region is the upper arm. It consists of a single bone called the humerus.The second region is the lower arm. It consists of two bones, the radius and the ulna.The Radius is closest to your thumb. There aren't and bones actually connected.So it's the radius.... =] hope I helped!! :)
The thumb has only 2 bones, known as the proximal and distal phalanges.
Phalanges are the correct name for the finger bones in the human body. They are also referred to as digital bones and are present in each finger and thumb.
A finger has three bones called phalanges, except for the thumb, which only has two phalanges.
The fingers (and toes) in anatomy are called digits. The visible parts are made up of three bones called phalanges (aside from the thumbs). The Distal Phalanx is the one in the tip of the finger, the Middle Phalanx is the one in the middle of the finger and the Proximal Phalanx is in the base of the finger. There is also another bone in each digit but is hidden the body of the Hand. These are called the Metacarpal bones and are long thin bones. These are not part of the digits.To answer this directly: the number of bones in each finger is three except the thumb which has two. The same with the toes. The large toe has two and the others have three.
Yes. The thumb is considered a finger because it has all the characteristics of a typical digit: a joint, nail, and phalangeal bones.

There are four bones in the thumb. one at the top one at the bottom and one at either side.The bones in the thumb consist of: distal phalanx; proximal phalanx; metacarpal; carpal bones (carpometacarpal joint (CM).
Yes, the thumb only has two bones: the distal and proximal phalanx.
the thumb
There are 26 bones, including 7 in the wrist and 19 in the fingers and thumb (four for each finger and three for the thumb) in a normal adult
No, the wrist bones are also known as the carpal bones. The metacarpals are the bones of the hand that connect the wrist to the fingers and thumb.
I would expect the metacarpal bones in a human hand to be arranged in a row, connecting the wrist bones to the finger bones. The metacarpal bones are typically numbered from one to five, starting on the thumb side.
The number of bones in the first four fingers are three, and two in the thumb, these are called phalanges. Another bone, called a metacarpal, connected the finger to the wrist through the palm for each of the five fingers (including the thumb).If you put it all together, you have 14 bones in all your fingers combined :)that first part is wrong and it is 27 bones in your entire hand.wtf you guys are wrong >=(There are 3 bones in each finger, the proximal phalanx, middle phalanx, and distal phalanx. There are only 2 bones in the thumb, however, the proximal and distal phalanx.
The human hand has 27 bones, 14 of which are phalanges, or fingers. The metacarpals are the bones that connect the fingers and the wrist. Each hand has five metacarpals. The thumb is connected to the trapezium and the joints are called metacarpophlangeal joints.
The bones of the lower arm are the radius and ulna. The radius is on the "thumb" side, and the ulna is on the "pinkie" side.
A finger has three bones called phalanges, except for the thumb, which only has two phalanges.
