Final answer:
In one hand, including the wrist, there are 8 carpal bones, 5 metacarpal bones, and 14 phalanges, totaling 27 bones. Since 27 is not an option provided and 26 is closest, the answer would be 26 (D).
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of bones in one hand, including the wrist, can be determined by looking at the anatomy of the upper limb. Each upper limb consists of 30 bones. This includes the bones in the arm, wrist, and hand. Specifically for the wrist and hand, we have eight carpal bones in the wrist. We also have five metacarpal bones forming the palm of the hand. Finally, there are a total of 14 phalanges in the digits, with two for the thumb (proximal and distal phalanges) and twelve for the other fingers (proximal, middle, and distal phalanges for each finger).
To answer the question: How many bones do you have in one of your hands (including your wrist)? We add the number of carpal bones to the number of metacarpal bones and the number of phalanges. This gives us 8 (carpals) + 5 (metacarpals) + 14 (phalanges) = 27 bones. However, since the question provides a set of options where 27 is not listed, we can deduce that there might have been a miscount, and based on the choices provided, the closest number that actually corresponds to the anatomy is 26 (D).
