| The distal row of carpals includes the hamate, capitate, trapezium, and trapezoid, which are closely approximated to the metacarpals. |
| The postcranial skeleton, and especially the vertebrae, carpals and tarsals, were very slow to ossify. |
| The SLIC Screw is designed to maintain the anatomical reduction of the scaphoid and lunate while allowing some rotation between the carpals. |
| In most other mammalian orders, the carpals and tarsals provide the limbs with regions of flexibility. |
| The carpals however interlock to a slight extent, and the corner of the magnum reaches the scaphoid. |
| The tarsal bones of the Turtle do not retain their primitive arrangement to such an extent as do the carpals. |
