- Carpal (Wrist) Bones
- "Scared Lovers Try Positions That They Can't Handle." Starting
from the thumb, the eight carpal bones are Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum,
Pisiform, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, and Hamate. To tell the three T's
apart... triquetrum has "tri/try" in it, and trapezium and trapezoid are
in alphabetical order.
CARPenters use their hands. The CARPAL bones are of the
hand, and not the foot.
- Cranial Bones
- Annoying, aren't they? The cranial bones are the PEST OF 6...
