Answer:

1) hand with iii. carpal

2) wrist with ii. radius

3) thigh with i. femur

4) ankle with iv. tarsals

Explanation:

Within each hand, towards where they meet the wrists proximal to the axial skeleton, there are eight irregular bones called the carpals. The carpals may not move as readily as the bones of the forearm articulate, however, they provide a crucial junction between the hand and wrist, while also acting as great attachment points for the vital ligaments that allow for certain movements. The names of these carpals are the hamate, capitate, lunate, scaphoid, trapezoid, trapezium, pisiform, and triquetrum.

The distal wrist and forearm are made of two long bones known as the radius and ulna. When in anatomical position, the radius is bone found lateral to the ulna, aligning with the thumb-side of the hand.

The long bone that is the only bone of the thigh is the femur, known for its connections to the pelvis, and the lower leg (specifically the tibia) via the ligaments within the knee.

Lastly, like the hand, connecting the top of the foot to the ankle are the five irregular bones known as the tarsals. They specifically connect the foot to the distal portions of the tibia and fibula, the bones of the lower leg. These five tarsal bones are named the cuboid, 1st (medial), 2nd (intermediate), and 3rd (lateral) cuneiforms, and the navicular bones.    

Final answer:

The correct matching for the body parts to their corresponding bones are: Wrist to carpal bones (iii), Thigh to femur (i), and Ankle to tarsal bones (iv). The bones for the Hand are typically called metacarpals, which were not listed among the choices.

Explanation:

The question involves matching parts of the human body with the bones associated with them. By understanding the location and relationship of different bones within the human skeletal system, we can answer the question as follows:

  • Hand is associated with the phalanges (not listed in the options), but typically we refer to the hand bones collectively as the metacarpals (also not listed in the options).
  • Wrist is associated with the wrist bones, which are technically known as the carpal bones (answer iii).
  • Thigh is associated with the thigh bone, which is the femur (answer i).
  • Ankle is associated with the ankle bones, which include the tarsals (answer iv). The correct match for each is as follows: Hand - Not Listed, Wrist - iii. carpal, Thigh - i. femur, Ankle - iv. tarsals.
