Without the hand, it would be almost impossible for the world to be the way it is
             today. The importance of this body part is extremely essential for humans to survive. The
             hand helps to perform in everyday tasks such as opening a Coke bottle or writing a
             research paper. This is probably one of the most important body parts of the human body.
             Without the hand, humans would be unable to make and use the tools which led them into
             The human hand is made up of 27 different bones. Eight carpal bones which make
             up the wrist. Five metacarpal bones that make up the palm. And fourteen phalangees
             which make up the fingers. The Carpal bones are arranged in two rows of four. The row
             nearest the forearm is called the proximal row. The row nearest the palm is called the
             distal row. The carpal bones are small, cube-shaped, and each has six sides except for the
             pisiform, which has five sides. The metacarpal bones are the five long bones of the palm.
             They are named the first, second, third, fourth and fifth Metacarpal, the first being the one
             leading to the thumb. The Phalangees are the bones of the fingers. Each finger contains
             There are twelve different muscles of the hand which are divided into three
             different groups. The muscles of the thumb make up the Thenar Eminence. The muscles
             that form the other fingers (also know as baby fingers) are called the Hypothenar
             Eminence. Twenty muscles from the forearm also control the hands movements. These
             are the flexors, extensors, supinators, pronators. The flexors help flex the wrist and
             fingers. The extensors help to extend the wrist and fingers. The supinators assist in
             turning the palm upward. The pronators help turn the palm downward.
             There are many different disease that can effect the hand. Some of these include
             carpal tunnel syndrome, ganglion cysts, dupuytren's contracture, and de quervain's. C
