Carpus
Definition:
(n.) The wrist; the bones or cartilages between the forearm, or antibrachium, and the hand or forefoot; in man, consisting of eight short bones disposed in two rows.
Example Sentences:
(1) The carpus is initially a cartilaginous structure that subsequently demarcates into separate carpal bones.
