Answer: Metacarpophalangeal Joint

Step-by-step explanation:

Metacarpophalangeal Joint (MCP): The MP joint is where the hand bone meets the finger bone, referred to as the “knuckle.” These joints are very important, allowing us to bend/flex and spread our fingers. Carpometacarpal Joint (CMC Joint): The CMC joint is located at the bottom of the hand bone.
