Can you explain in detail how a hand, wrist, and arm work together to left an object on a table from point A to point B. Such as the anatomy and Mechanics of the human hand. Example would be grabbing coke can and moving it to a different spot on table. (Talk about Wrist, Carpus, Metacarpus, Fingers, Muscles, Power grip, Connective tissue and tendons, etc.) Thank you and in paragraph form.
