What is a "finger"?
A finger is a slender and flexible digit located at the end of the hand, typically numbering five on each hand. It consists of multiple bones called phalanges, along with muscles, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels. Fingers play a crucial role in gripping, grasping, manipulating objects, and performing intricate tasks. They contribute to fine motor skills, sensory perception, and communication through gestures. Understanding the anatomy and function of fingers is important for hand coordination, dexterity, and overall manual abilities.
