finger

The fingers fulfill an enormously broad spectrum of functions. Not only do they serve for easy gripping and touching, but they also serve as an element of communication, for example, and even perform difficult tasks such as playing the piano. As part of the hand, the fingers are made up of three bones apart from the thumb. The thumb has only two bones. However, his freedom of movement allows only the finely controlled gripping with two fingertips. Overall, the fingers have 14 finger joints.

The fingers of the human hand are distinguished in thumb (Pollex), index finger (index), middle finger (Digitus medius), ring finger (Digitus anularis) and small finger (Digitus minimus). At the tip of the fingers is on the top of the fingernail and below the so-called fingertip, which is particularly strong blood and has many nerve cells. The fingertips play a central role in our sense of touch.

As a result of the stresses our fingers are subjected to in everyday life, age-related signs of osteoarthritis often appear on their joints as they grow older. Also, some diseases such as gout or rheumatoid arthritis are increasingly noticeable in the finger joints. In addition, the fingers of many people get in contact with pollutants or environmental toxins daily, which leads to damage to the skin. Dry, flaky and cracked skin on the fingers is a typical consequence here. (Fp)
