Your metacarpals are to let you move your hand back-and-forth and to grab stuff
They allow the bones to move and not hyperextend.
The carpals are the upper most bones in your hand and meta carpals are the lower most and same for the tarsals and vice versa.

The human hand has 27 bones: the carpus or wrist account for 8; the metacarpals or palm contains five; the remaining fourteen are digital bones; fingers and thumb. The human foot has 26 bones in the hind-foot, the mid-foot, and the forefoot.
The bones of the fingers are carpals (hence carpal tunnel syndrome), and the bones in-between the wrists and fingers are metacarpals. The bones of the toes are tarsals and the bones in-between then toes and ankles are metatarsals. Huzzah!
Tarsals and carpals are short bones. Metacarpals, metatarsals and phalanges are long bones.

The group of bones of the wrist are the carpals, and of the ankles are the tarsals. Each of the carpals and tarsals has an individual name as well. The bones of the palm are the metacarpals, and the bones of the sole are the metatarsals. The finger bones and toe bones are both called phalanges.
The majority of your bones are in your hands and feet including the carpals, metacarpals,and phalanges in your hands, and in your feet there are the tarsals, metatarsals (FYI meta means middle so metatarsals and metacarpals are in the middle of your feet and hands) and phalanges.

metacarpals
Pigs have both metatarsals and metacarpals in their skeleton. Tarsals are located on the hind legs and carpals on the front legs. So, when they walk, they walk on both metatarsals and metacarpals.
