Hand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A hand is the body part at the end of an arm. Most humans have two hands each, usually with four fingers and a thumb. On the inside of the hand is the palm. When the fingers are all bent tightly the hand forms a fist. The joints that are the hardest part of the fist are called knuckles. Many other animals have hands as well, mostly other primates.
The word "hand" is also used in card games. A "hand of cards" is a group of cards that one player can see but others cannot.
Hands are good at grabbing things.
They are also good for hitting things, such as people. Most people use the palm of their hand for this activity.
