[edit] Summary

Description
English: The hands (med./lat.: manus, pl. manūs) are the two intricate, prehensile, multi-fingered body parts normally located at the end of each arm of a human or other primate. They are the chief organs for physically manipulating the environment, using anywhere from the roughest motor skills (wielding a club) to the finest (threading a needle); and since the fingertips contain some of the densest areas of nerve endings on the human body, they are also the richest source of tactile feedback. For this reason, the sense of touch is intimately associated with human hands. Like other paired organs (eyes, ears, legs), each hand is dominantly controlled by the opposing brain hemisphere, and thus handedness, or preferred hand choice for single-handed activities such as writing with a pen, reflects a significant individual trait.
Español: Las manos son dos intrincadas partes del cuerpo humano, prensiles y con cinco dedos cada una, localizadas normalmente en los extremos de los antebrazos. Abarcan desde la muñeca hasta la yema de los dedos de los humanos . Son el principal órgano para la manipulación física del medio. La punta de los dedos contienen algunas de las zonas con más terminaciones nerviosas del cuerpo humano, son la principal fuente de información táctil sobre el entorno, por eso el sentido del tacto se asocia inmediatamente con las manos. Como en los otros órganos pares (ojos, oídos, piernas), cada mano, está controlada por el hemisferio del lado contrario del cuerpo. Siempre hay una dominante sobre la otra, la cual se encargará de actividades como la escritura manual, de esta forma, el individuo podrá ser zurdo, si la predominancia es de la mano izquierda (siniestra) o diestro si es de la derecha (diestra); este es un rasgo personal de cada uno.
Français : Les mains (du latin manus, pl. manūs) sont deux organes complexes et préhensiles situés à l'extrémité des bras des primates et munis de doigts. Elles sont les principaux organes utilisés pour saisir et manipuler des objets pris dans l'environnement, de la façon la plus brutale (brandir un gourdin) à la plus fine (enfiler une aiguille). L'extrémité des doigts contient l'une des plus forte concentration de terminaisons nerveuses du corps humain, ce qui fait de la main l'un des organes principaux du sens du toucher. Comme pour d'autres organes allant par paires, comme les yeux ou les oreilles, chaque main est principalement contrôlé par l'hémisphère opposé du cerveau. La main utilisée préférentiellement est l'aspect le plus visible de la latéralisation de chaque individu.
