Carpals
Carpus is the anatomical assembly connecting the hand with the forearm. The major role of the carpus is to enable effective positioning of the hand and powerful use of the extensors and flexors of the forearm.

Listed are the names of the eight bones that form the carpus which interact with the ulna and radius to allow the wrist to rotate vertically and for the extension of the hand.
