Which of the Following Describes Both the Hallux and Pollex

Question

Which of the following describes both the hallux and pollex?
A) Hand
B) Metacarpal
C) Phalanges
D) Ball and socket

Accepted Answer

The hallux and pollex both refer to specific digits in the human body. The hallux is the big toe, and the pollex is the thumb. Both digits contain bones called phalanges, which are the small bones that make up the fingers and toes. However, they are not part of the hand or metacarpals, and ball and socket refers to a type of joint rather than a specific bone or part of the body.
