Which Bones are Distal to the Radius and Ulna and Proximal

Question

Which bones are distal to the radius and ulna and proximal to the metacarpals?
A) Pollux
B) Carpals
C) Tarsals
D) Hallux

Accepted Answer

The carpals are the bones of the wrist that are distal to the radius and ulna (which articulate with the humerus to form the elbow joint) and proximal to the metacarpals (which make up the palm of the hand). The other options (Pollux, Tarsals, and Hallux) refer to bones in the foot and are not relevant to the question.
