  1. unciform bone

    The unciform bone, also known as the hamate bone, is one of the eight small bones, or carpal bones, in the wrist. It is located in the distal row and is characterized by its hook-like protrusion, hence the name unciform from the Latin "uncus" meaning hook. This bone plays a significant role in the flexibility and movement of the wrist and hand, and is often subject to fractures and injuries.
