Human Palm Anatomy: Bones and Soft Tissue Landmarks

The palm lies at the distal forearm, comprising:

  • Metacarpals: Five long bones connecting wrist to fingers.
  • Carpals: Eight small bones forming the wrist joint.
  • Thenar eminence: Fleshy base of thumb.
  • Hypothenar eminence: Fleshy base of little finger.

These structures enable grip, fine motor control, and sensory function.
