The wrist is a flexible and compact structure that forms the connection between the forearm and the hand. It consists of multiple small bones supported by a joint capsule and reinforced with strong ligaments. The wrist allows a wide range of motion, including flexion (bending the hand downward), extension (bending the hand upward), and rotational movements such as turning the palm to face up (supination) or down (pronation). These functions are essential for everyday activities and fine motor control.
