WHAT DOES CARPUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

carpus

Carpus

Carpus is the anatomical assembly connecting the hand to forearm. In human anatomy, the main role of the carpus is to facilitate effective positioning of the hand and powerful use of the extensors and flexors of the forearm, but the mobility of individual carpal bones increase the freedom of movements at the wrist. In tetrapods, the carpus is the sole cluster of bones in the wrist between the radius and ulna and the metacarpus. The bones of the carpus do not belong to individual fingers, whereas those of the metacarpus do. The corresponding part of the foot is the tarsus. The carpal bones allow the wrist to move and rotate vertically.

Definition of carpus in the English dictionary

The definition of carpus in the dictionary is the eight small bones of the human wrist that form the joint between the arm and the hand. Other definition of carpus is the corresponding joint in other tetrapod vertebrates.
