Where exactly is the wrist joint located in the body?

The wrist joint is a complex part of the body where your hand meets your arm. It is made up of multiple small bones and ligaments that allow your hand to move in many directions.

• Bones: The wrist contains small bones called carpal bones. These bones connect your hand to the two larger bones in your arm, called the radius and the ulna.
• Ligaments: Ligaments are like strong rubber bands that hold the bones together and help keep the wrist stable. They also help the wrist move smoothly.

This joint is important because it lets you bend, twist, and move your hand in different ways. Understanding how the wrist works can help you know why it's important to be careful and protect it from injury.
