What is the wrist is what to the elbow?

The wrist is the joint between the hand and the forearm. It is composed of eight carpal bones, which are arranged in two rows. The wrist is responsible for movements such as flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and circumduction. It also allows for rotation of the hand.

The elbow is a hinge joint that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) to the ulna and radius (forearm bones). It allows for flexion and extension of the arm, as well as pronation and supination of the forearm. The elbow also provides stability and support for the upper limb during various activities.

The wrist and the elbow are connected by the forearm, which contains multiple muscles, tendons, and ligaments that work together to allow for a wide range of movements and functions in the arm. Proper alignment and strength in both the wrist and elbow are important for overall arm function and stability. Injuries or conditions affecting either joint can impact the ability to perform daily tasks and activities.
