Appendicular Skeleton & Knee LAB ACTIVITY 3: Carpals, Metacarpals & Phalanges. Obtain a model of hand and identify the following bones: Carpals (Mnemonic: So Long Top Part, Here Comes The Thumb.): Scaphoid Lunate Triquetrum Trapezoid Pisiform Hamate Capitate Trapezoid Trapezium Metacarpals: Numbered 1-5 starting with the Pollex Phalanges: Proximal, Middle and Distal for Metacarpals 2-5; Pollex lacks a middle Phalange. Identify bone indicated by each letter. 1st Metacarpal 4th Metacarpal Distal Phalange of 5th Metacarpal Hamate Lunate Middle Phalange of 3rd Metacarpal Proximal Phalange of 2nd Metacarpal Radius Scaphoid Triquetrum Ulna This is the left (right/left) hand.
