Are there actual muscles in your fingers, or is it just bones and tendons?

yes there are muscles in all fingers and toes. if not you could not have typed your question. but each finger has different muscle starting points called origins and endpoints called insertions, as well as different locations . try this ; place your hand flat on the table. starting with the pinky,raise it up off the table all other fingers should not move. put pinky down and raise index finger.again , no other fingers moved. put index finger down. raise middle finger.once again you can raise and lower fingers without problem. now raise ring finger notice how other fingers want to get into the act? that is because the ring finger lacks a muscle on top used to raise it up.

Phlanges are your bones in your fingers and toes. Tarsals are the bones in your feet only. \nIn the hand it is carpals, metacarpals, phalanges!\nIn th feet it is tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges!

A tendon is the end part of a muscle that attaches the muscle to the bone.  The normally very elastic and soft muscle tapers off at the end to form the much more dense and stiff tendon.  While this density makes the  tendons stronger, the lack of elasticity of the tendon and the constant pulling on its attachment to the bone with movement, makes it much more susceptible to a low level of tearing at a microscopic level.  This tearing will produce the inflammation and irritation known as tendinitis.  Often spelled tendonitis, either spelling is correct for this condition.  Tendinitis is usually seen after excessive repetitive movement with which the tendon gradually becomes tighter until the fibers start to tear.  For example, a person who plays tennis may over- use the muscles of the elbow through hitting the ball repetitively and cause tendonitis to the area.

The general test is to place you thumb and middle finger around your wrist if the fingers overlap, you are small bone, if the fingers touch you are medium boned, and if the fingers don't touch you are big boned. That is how must people test, otherwise you have to go to a gym or a Dr. to do the "official" test.

A "dactyl" is literally a finger.  It could be an antiquated physical unit, like the "hand" or "foot" as a unit of measure taken directly from the body.

Tendons connect muscles to bones. For example, your Achilles' tendon connects your foot to your calf muscles. Ligaments, on a side note, connect muscles to other muscles.

Tendons join muscle to bone. They have tensile strenght, but very little elasticity.

It was hard at first teaching myself, so I started with one hour a day, building up to longer periods of time.  If you go all or nothing for periods of time then you develop calluses on your fingers that can be QUITE painful.  Just practice the same few things for an hour a day and get them down before moving on.  That always works, and it doesn’t take that much time out of your day!

of course it's a finger.  the word "thumb" is used to identify it.  just like pinky, index, fore finger.  the words are used to identify each digit.

MY HANDS ARE LIKE THAT TOO. WHEN I USE THE COMPUTER THEY REALLY GET COLD OR WHEN I READ A BOOK. AS LONG AS I KEEP MOVING THEM THEY'RE OK. JUST PART OF GROWING UP.

There really isn't an average anymore.  You have to take into account your bone structure and general health.\nA Orthopedic Surgeon (Bone Dr.) told me a simple test.  Wrap your hand around the opposite wrist.  If you can easily touch fingers, you have a small bone build. If your fingers barely touch, you have an average build.  And if they don't reach around, you have a big bone built.  This comes from our genes (family and culture).  Healthy weight should be determined by heart rate, blood pressure, blood chemistry, and others.  \nSee a doctor if your worried about being over weight.\nRelax if you think your a little underweight. \nGod (or nature if you prefer) made us to be a healthy size for our bone frame.  You are NOT going to change it that much.

Look closely at your finger, you will see lots of little lines. Those lines form a unique fingerprint for you. When you touch something oils from your skin leaves a "print" of your finger which can be collected and matched to you.

The phalanges aren't the fingers, they are the bones in your fingers.\nThere are twenty seven bones in your hand: eight carpals (the wrist) five metacarpals, five proximal phalanges, four medial phalanges (there's no medial in your thumb), and five distal phalanges.\nThe fingers are simply known as digits, from the latin 'digitorum'. I don't know the exact translation but it's to do with the fact you have ten of them.
