Fingers

Today in science we are making hands out of papers. Miss Abernethy print out the hand paper so we can put straws on. How does your hand work and what are the parts?

Bones:
There are 27 bones in your hand:
1. 8 bones in your wrist
2. 5 bones in your palms
3. 14 bones for your fingers and thumb

Tendons:
What is a tendon?
A tendon is a stringy connective tissue which attaches muscle of the forearm bone to the phalanges which let your fingers move up and down. Tendons also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball.
