Interesting Hand Facts



    There are some interesting facts about our hands.
    We both have 2 hands if u are not a disabled. And each hand has 5 fingers, someone has 6 or more. There are some wrinkles on our hands, and each finger has unique fingerprint. Our hand is a small part of our body, but it’s not simple. On each hand, we have 29 major and minor bones (many people have a few more), 29 major joints, at least 123 named ligaments, 34 muscles which move the fingers and thumb:17 in the palm of the hand, and 18 in the forearm, 48 named nerves, and 30 named arteries and nearly as many smaller named branches. It,s easy to get injuries like burning and crushing, athletic injuries or get cut by something. So mind your hand!

  1. Wow! That's a lot of muscle power we are equipped with. Amazing. I wasn't aware of the amount of bones in our hands' it's really complicated. :)
