    • Wrist-8
    • Hand-19
  29. Name the carpal bones in the proximal row.
    • Stop Letting Those People
    • Scaphoid-boatlike (70% carpal fx's just this bone)
    • Lunate-moon-shaped
    • Triquetrum-three cornered
    • Pisiform-pea-shaped
  30. Name the carpal bones in the distal row.
    • Touch The Cadaver's Hand
    • Trapezium-four-sided (no two sides parallel)
    • Trapezoid-four-sided (two sides parallel)
    • Capitate-head-shaped
    • Hamate-hooked
  31. carpal tunnel:
    • The concavity formed by the pisiform and hamate, and the scaphoid and trapezium.
