What is the name of the three bones that make up a human finger?
Jersey Finger the torn FDP tendon may retract slightly, remaining in the finger near the PIP joint, or can retract more fully into the palm of the hand. A person who suffers a jersey finger injury in which the FDP tendon is completely ruptured cannot flex the affected digit at the DIP joint without assistance. All four non-thumb digits (index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger) contain three bones called the "phalanges" that are aligned in a linear row like box cars in a train. These bones are designated the proximal phalanx (closest to the palm), the middle phalanx, and
Three-finger protein peptide common among the Ly6/uPAR globular proteins is encoded. Proteins of the general three-finger fold are widely distributed among metazoans. A 2008 bioinformatics study identified about 45 examples of such proteins, containing up to three three-finger domains, represented in the human genome. A more recent profile of the Ly6/uPAR gene family identified 35 human and at least 61 mouse family members in the organisms' respective genomes. The three-finger protein family is thought to have expanded through gene duplication in the snake lineage. 3FTx toxins are considered restricted to the Caenophidia, the taxon containing all venomous snakes; however at least one
