Outlines of comparative physiology touching the structure and development of the races of animals, living and extinct : for the use of schools and colleges . row (figs. 157, 158), on the outside is the os trapezium(v), next to itthe os trape- zoides (YI), toits inner side,the os mag-num (vii),and next to that the os unciforme (vm). Of these bones the first row isarticulated above with the radius, and the interarticular car-tilage at the extremity of the ulna, and below with the secondrow ; the second row articulates above with the first row, andbelow with the bases of the metacarpal bones. [§ 2/6. The METACARPUS consists of five bones (fig. 158*),each of which is divided into its upper part, or basis (A) ;middle or body, corpus (B) ; and lower part or head, caput (c),which forms the knuckle, and projects when the fingers arebent. Upon the bases are articular surfaces for the carpalbones. [§ 277. The thumb and fingers of each hand consist of four-teen pieces, or phalanges (fig. 159) ; of these twelve belong tothe fingers, and are disposed in three rows, those of the middlefinger (in) being longest, and of the little finger (v) shortest ;.
