, 1. 1. Question

The carpals articulate with the distal ends of which two bones?

Tarsals and metatarsals

Radius and ulna

Metacarpals and phalanges

Tibia and fibula



Answer: Radius and ulna

Articulate means “to form a joint with.”

The carpals are your wrist bones.

The distal end of a bone is the part of the bone that is farthest away from the trunk of your
body. For example, your hands are distal to your forearm.

So, the far end of which bones form a joint with your wrist bones? This would be the bones of
your forearm – the radius and ulna.

The tibia and fibula are the bones of the lower part of your leg. The distal ends of the tibia and
fibula articulate with the tarsals (feet bones).

The metacarpals are hand bones. The phalanges are finger and toe bones.

The tarsals and metatarsals are bones in your feet.
