Question

The finger bones do not have joints.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Joints:

1. Joints are regions in which two or more bones meet and enable movement.
2. There are different types of joints in the human body such as ball-and-socket joints, hinge joints, pivot joints, and ellipsoidal joints.
3. There are numerous different bones, muscles, and ligaments in the hand and wrist, which allow for a variety of movements.
4. Each of the fingers contains three joints rather than just one: there are three phalangeal joints on a finger: the distal interphalangeal joint (DIP), located closest to the fingertip, and the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP), located at the base of the finger.
5. There are two joints on each thumb.

Final answer: The given statement is false.
