Question

What is the anatomical name for? Cheek bone, ankle bones, foot bones, wrist bones, hand bones, Ribs.Thanks xo

Answer 1

cheekbones are zygomatics

ankle is the talocrurial joint

foot bones are the tarsals (foot = metatarsals) (meta meaning beyond)

wristbones - scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform (row proximal to the forearm) and the trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate (row closest to the hand)

hand bones = carpal (fingers = metacarpals)

ribs, anatomically, are costals

hope this helps!
