You have to take upper extremity as a whole. You have the shoulder joint with very large range of movement. Then elbow with hinge joint with humerus in contact with ulna bone havingflexionand extension. Here there are two bones, the radius and ulna. Here movement is PronationandSupinationtakes place.Then comes wrist joint. There three bones Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetral bones are in touch with lower end of radius. The forth bone is the Pisiform. This will not give sufficient mobility. So next row of bones is there Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate andHamate. With is design all sort of movements are possible. Next there are 5 metacarpals and 14 phalanges. Thumb is placed in such a position and range of movement is architectural marvel. Now the best ever design by nature is in 'hand' of Nature a 'Hand'. You can do all sort of fine movements the 'Animal kingdom' would have ever imagined.
