Which of the carpal bones is considered to be the largest?

The scaphoid is the largest of the carpal bones in the proximal row and it articulates with five bones – the radius proximally; the lunate medially and the trapezium, trapezoid and capitate distally.

What is the name of the joint found between the proximal and distal phalanges?

In digits 2-5 these joints can be further classified based on which bones are involved. The proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ or PIJ) is located between the proximal and middle phalanges, while the distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ or DIJ) is found between the middle and distal phalanges.
