How many bones are in the ankle versus the number of bones in the wrist?

There are eight bones in the wrist and seven bones in the ankle.


Among the bones in the ankle are the fibula and the tibia.  These are the two bones in your lower leg.  They meet at the ankle to form a joint.  Also found there is the talus bone.  Other bones include the calcaneus (heel bone), navicular, cuboid, internal cuneiform, middle cuneiform, and external cuneiform on each side.


The bones of the wrist consist of the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate.  Each wrist has this set of bones.
