In the hands, the bones in the fingers are referred to as the Phalanx bones' and are arranged, from the base to the tip, as follows: Proximal phalanges, intermediate phalanges, and distal phalanges. The bones in the palm of the hand look very similar on a skeleton, but should not be confused with the phalanges; these are referred to as 'carpals'.
