Trapezium (bone)

The trapezium is a bone in the human hand.

This bone is a carpal bone, in the section commonly referred to as the wrist. On one end, it connects with the metacarpal[?] (or palm[?])bone of the thumb, which holds the finger's digital bones[?], or phalanges[?] on. On the other end is another carpal, called the scaphoid[?].
