Q. Which structures of the body have more bones for their size than any other part of the body?
Hand and wrist have more bones in them for their size than any other part of body. There are 8 carpals in wrist between forearm and palm of the hand; 5 metacarpal bones which form the palm of hand between the wrist, thumb, and fingers; and 14 phalanges or finger bones. Presence of many small bones in the wrist and hand with many movable joints between them makes human hand highly manoeuvrable and mobile.
