Video transcript

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. Today, we need to identify the incorrectly matched pair. Now let's go over each of our answer choices so that we may solve this question beginning by answer choice. A we have the humerus articulates with the scapula at the shoulder. This is going to be true. So we're going to be moving on. Then we have B which is the radio and not articulate with the humorous at the proximal ends. Also going to be true. So we're going to be moving on. Then we have the carpal wrist bones. Well, yes, the carpal are going to be the wrist bones. So we're going to be canceling this out and moving on. Then we have the meta corpse bones of the fingers. Well, as it turns out, the Metrocorp are not going to be the bones of the fingers. These are going to be what we call the, the metacarpals are going to be located between the carpal bones and the phalanges, which are the finger bones in the hand. However, they are not going to be the actual bones of the finger. Therefore, this is going to be or incorrectly matched pair. And we're going to highlight answer choice, the meta carpal bones of the finger as the final answer to this question. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
