Vedclass · Answer

(A) The human hand consists of $5$ digits (fingers). Each finger contains bones called phalanges. The thumb (pollex) consists of $2$ phalanges (proximal and distal). The remaining four fingers (index,middle,ring,and little finger) each consist of $3$ phalanges (proximal,middle,and distal). Therefore,the phalangeal formula for the hand is $2, 3, 3, 3, 3$.
