In anatomical terms, the metacarpus is best described as part of which region?

The foot

The hand

Metacarpus identifies the bones of the hand located between the wrist (carpus) and the fingers (phalanges). This places it in the hand region—the palm area—consisting of five metacarpal bones. It’s not part of the foot (that would be the metatarsus), not the forearm (radius and ulna), and not the knee. So the metacarpus is best described as part of the hand.

The forearm

The knee
