   Wrist
   In human anatomy, the `wrist` is the flexible and narrower connection between the forearm and the palm. The wrist is essentially a double row of small short bones, called carpals, intertwined to form a malleable hinge. The `wrist-joint` (`articulatio radiocarpea`) is a condyloid articulation allowing three degrees of freedom.
