Final answer:
The lunate is the bone that does not belong to the distal row of the wrist; it is part of the proximal row, while the capitate is a part of the distal row of carpal bones.
Step-by-step explanation:
All of the following bones belong to the distal row of the wrist except:
- Scaphoid
- Lunate
- Triquetrum
- Capitate
The correct answer is b) Lunate. The bones of the wrist are divided into two rows: the proximal row and the distal row. The scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pisiform make up the proximal row. The distal row comprises the trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate bones. Hence, the lunate is a part of the proximal row and not the distal row, unlike the capitate that is indeed a part of the distal row.
