No. When the body is in the anatomical position, the thumb is further away from the midline. You say that the thumb is lateral to the ring finger.

∙ 9y agoThe wrist is not posterior to the hand because the wrist cannot be anterior or posterior. On the standard diagram of the human body, it can be said that the wrist is distal to medial to the hand since it is closer to the midline of the body.

∙ 9y agoNo, the fingers are distal to the wrist. To say that they are medial would means that they are closer to the body than the wrist.

Is buttocks lateral from wrist?
The buttocks are medial to the wrist. The wrist is lateral to the buttocks.
Are the fingers lateral to your wrist?
The fingers are distal to the wrist. The wrist is proximal to the fingers. In anatomical position, it is possible to say the thumb is lateral to the wrist.
What is a lateral carpal?
A lateral carpal is a wrist bone closest to the thumb side of the wrist. The trapezium and scaphoid are the lateral carpals.
Extensors of the wrist and hand a. are located within the posterior compartment of the forearm b. attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus c. pass through the carpal tunnel d. a and b?
Extensors of the wrist and hand are found in the posterior compartment and attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. The flexors, not the extensors, pass through the carpal tunnel.
What is the medial bump of the wrist called?
The medial bump of the wrist is caused by the styloid process of the ulna. The lateral wrist bump is from the radius.
Is buttocks lateral from wrist?
The buttocks are medial to the wrist. The wrist is lateral to the buttocks.
What lie lateral to the wrist?
In anatomical position, it is possible to say the thumb is lateral to the wrist. No other structure could be considered lateral to the wrist.
Are the fingers lateral to your wrist?
The fingers are distal to the wrist. The wrist is proximal to the fingers. In anatomical position, it is possible to say the thumb is lateral to the wrist.

A lateral carpal is a wrist bone closest to the thumb side of the wrist. The trapezium and scaphoid are the lateral carpals.
Extensors of the wrist and hand a. are located within the posterior compartment of the forearm b. attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus c. pass through the carpal tunnel d. a and b?
Extensors of the wrist and hand are found in the posterior compartment and attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. The flexors, not the extensors, pass through the carpal tunnel.
Is the wrist medial to the forearm?
The wrist is distal to the forearm. The wrist is neither medical nor lateral to the forearm.
Is the elbow medial to the wrist?
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. In anatomical position, it is neither medial nor lateral to the wrist.
What is the medial bump of the wrist called?
The medial bump of the wrist is caused by the styloid process of the ulna. The lateral wrist bump is from the radius.
What are the processes and bones that create your medial and lateral ankle and wrist bumps?
The bumps at the ankle are the malleoli (singular malleolus). The medial malleolus is formed by the tibia, and the lateral malleolus by the fibula. The medial wrist bump is formed by the styloid process of the ulna, and the lateral wrist bump by the styloid process of the radius.
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the hand?
nope. easy way to remember: proximal=proximity, hence closer to the body, and distal=distance, hence further away from the body. so the wrist is distal to the shoulder, and the shoulder is proximal to the wrist. make sense?
Where are the carpals?
There are 8 carpal bones on each hand/wrist. These comprise of the scaphoid, hamate, lunate, capitate, triquetrum, trapezoid, trapezium and pisiform. See below for illustration.
Is the wrist proximal to the leg?
The wrist and the leg are on different limbs; therefore, you can't describe their relative position with the terms "proximal" and "distal." The wrist is superior and lateral to the leg.
