Explain it
Transcribed Image Text:**Form and Function of a Human Hand**
**Function:** The human hand has many functions, but we’ll focus just on two: grasping things for fine control (such as a pencil), and grabbing objects for power (as in the example of the hammer above).
**Form/function relationship:** The opposable thumb (the ability to touch the thumb to the fingers) makes fine control possible. The ability to touch the fingers to the base of the hand and to wrap the thumb on top makes the power grip possible.
