The third metacarpal bone (metacarpal bone of the middle finger) is a little smaller than the second. The dorsal aspect of its base presents on its radial side a pyramidal eminence, the styloid process, which extends upward behind the capitate; immediately distal to this is a rough surface for the attachment of the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle. The carpal articular facet is concave behind, flat in front, and articulates with the capitate. On the radial side is a smooth, concave facet for articulation with the second metacarpal, and on the ulnar side two small oval facets for the fourth metacarpal[Wikipedia:Third_metacarpal_bone]. hand digit 3 metacarpal UMLS:C1708989 3 rd finger metacarpal bone FMA:23901 metacarpal of 3 rd finger forelimb digit 3 metacarpus metacarpal bone of digit III UBERON:0003647 3 rd digit of hand metacarpal bone manual digit 3 metacarpus metacarpal bone of 3 rd digit of hand AAO:0000854 third finger metacarpal bone MA:0001366 3 rd finger metacarpal metacarpal III hand digit 3 metacarpal bone manual digit 3 metacarpus cartilage element metapodium bone 3 manual digit 3 metacarpus endochondral element
