The radius and ulna are proximal to the carpal bones. The carpals are distal to the radius and ulna.
Yes. The carpals (wrist) is further away from the point of attachment of the arm to the body. The radius is closer.
The carpals are the bone immediately distal to the radius and ulna. The metacarpals and phalanges are distal to the carpals.
The carpals are immediately distal to the radius and ulna. The metacarpals and phalanges are also distal to the radius and ulna.

The metacarpal bones are the bones distal to the wrist.metacarpalsThe five hand bones between the carpal bones of the wrist and the phalangeal bones of the fingers are the metacarpals.
The carpus or carpal joint is the wrist. The proximal bones are those of the forearm: the radius and ulna. The distal bones are those of the palm: the metacarpals.
The left radius and ulna, the bones of the forearm, are distal to the left elbow and proximal to the left wrist. The radius is the larger of the two bones.
The metacarpals are the long hand bones proximal to the phalanges. The carpals are proximal to the metacarpals.
There are 27 bones in your hand: 8 carpals, 5 metacarpals, and 14 phalanges (each of your fingers has 3 phalanges in them - proximal, middle, and distal. However, there are only two phalanges in your thumb, proximal and distal.)
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
The epiphyses are the distal and proximal ends of long bones
No. The radius is distal to the humerus. The humerus is proximal to the radius. :D
No, it the wrist would be distal to the elbow. The best way to remember this is by using the words approximate (close) and distant (far). If something is proximal, it is closer to the trunk. If it is distal, it is further away from the trunk. That's wrong, i just got that one wrong on the test i was taking. it is proximal to the elbow!!
The arm is divided into three general regions. The first region is the upper arm. It consists of a single bone called the humerus.The second region is the lower arm. It consists of two bones, the radius and the ulna.The Radius is closest to your thumb. There aren't and bones actually connected.So it's the radius.... =] hope I helped!! :)
The metacarpals articulate proximally with the carpals. In particular, the first metacarpal articulates with the trapezium. The second articulates with the trapezium, trapezoid, and capitate. The third articulates with the capitate. The fourth articulates with the capitate and hamate. The fifth metacarpal articulates with the hamate.
The bones that make up your fingers (and toes) are called phalanges.
