The ring finger is the fourth digit of the human hand, located between the middle finger and the little finger. It is typically associated with the wearing of rings, especially wedding bands, which symbolize commitment and love in many cultures. The ring finger is found on both hands, but in many traditions, it is the left hand that is designated for engagement and wedding rings. Anatomically, the ring finger consists of three bones called phalanges: the proximal, middle, and distal phalanges. It is controlled by muscles and tendons that allow for movement and dexterity. In some cultures, the ring finger is also linked to the heart through the belief that a vein, often referred to as the "vena amoris," runs directly to the heart.
