The human hand consists of 8 carpal bones, 5 metacarpal bones, and 14 phalanges. The carpal bones are organized into two rows at the wrist, while the metacarpals form the middle part of the hand. Each finger has three phalanges (proximal, middle, and distal), except for the thumb, which has two (proximal and distal). In total, this adds up to 27 bones in one hand.
