In anatomy, a phalange is defined as one of the bones that make up the fingers of the hand and the toes of the foot. How many phalanges do we have in each hand?
Answer 14
Each of our fingers has three bones and our thumbs each have two bones, which means we have 14 bones in each of our hands. Together with our feet, our body has a grand total of 56 phalanges (28 in our hands and 28 in our feet).
