Here are descriptions of several carpal bones:

1. Scaphoid: This bone, named for its boat-like shape, is vital in wrist function. It forms joints with five other bones and supports ligaments.
2. Lunate: Located at the center of the carpal bones, the lunate is moon-shaped and plays a crucial role in wrist stability.
3. Triquetrum: Situated on the little finger side of the wrist, the triquetrum provides stability and forms joints with neighboring carpal bones.
4. Trapezium: Resembling its geometric namesake, this short bone is also known as the greater multangular bone.
5. Trapezoid: Adjacent to the capitate, the trapezoid is the second carpal bone in alphabetical order.
6. Capitate: Positioned in the center of the second row of wrist bones, the capitate forms joints with multiple bones in the wrist and hand.
7. Hamate: Distinguished by a small projection, or “hook,” on one side, the hamate is unique among the carpal bones.
8. Pisiform: A small, pea-shaped bone on the anteromedial side of the wrist, it contributes to the wrist joint’s structure.
