Is the toes proximal to ankle?
ANSWER: YesTo quote my textbook, Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology (2nd Edition) by Donald C. Rizzo: "Proximal means nearest the point of attachment or origin. Example: the elbow is proximal to the wrist, the knee is proximal to the ankle. Distal mean away from the point of attachment or origin. Example: the wrist is distal to the elbow, the ankle is distal to the knee."
What joint is formed by the humerus?
The distal (meaning furthest from the body) aspect of the humerus that forms the elbow is called the trochlea, which literally means pulley.The distal & medial aspect of the humerus in the region of the elbow is called the medial epicondyle, but this is more of a site for tendon attachment for flexor muscles. The medial epicondyle is not a part of the actual elbow joint.
What type of joint is your toes?
If I remember from anatomy...the ankle is a synovial joint (movement at the point of contact at bones) that connects the distal ends of the tibia and fibula to the proximal end of the talus bone in the foot.....distal means the most distant of 2 or more things in this case bones and proximal means towards the beginning of 2 or more things.
Facts about the radius bone?
The RADIUS is one of two bones connecting the elbow to the wrist. Specifically, it's the one behind the thumb. see the link for a human skeleton with all the major bones labeled http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/anatomy/skeleton/Skelprintout.shtml
What is a joint in the human body?
A joint is the part of the skeletal system where two bones meet and are held together by ligaments.
Which is more distal to the elbow-the wrist or the hoof?
the wrist
Is the hand inferior to the wrist?
A more correct term would be that the hand in distal to the wrist.
Is the toes proximal to ankle?

What type of fracture is a Colles' fracture?
A Colle's fracture is a fracture of the distal radius. The radius is one of the two bones of the forearm (the other is the ulna). The radius is the bone that begins at the outside ("lateral" side) of the elbow and ends at the wrist joint, on the "thumb" side of the wrist. "Distal" means that the fracture occurs at the part of the radius that is relatively further from the center of the body, i.e. at the wrist. So in plain English, a Colle's fracture is a broken bone near the wrist, on the "thumb" side.
What is the meaning of proximal develment?
Farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk. e.g., your fingers are distal to your elbow

What is more distal the humerus or the carpals?
The carpals are distal to the humerus.
Why is a robot wrist more flexible than a robot elbow?
Usually, because they are built to act and control like a human wrist and elbow. Our wrist has more degrees of freedom than our elbow, so that was how many of the first designers made the robots: it is usually easier to copy something that we are already familiar with and we know works than to have to come up with an entirely new design and work the bugs out. Other reasons have to do with stability (the elbow that only moves up and down can be built to flex less sideways when a load is put on the gripper or other end affector), ease of programming (fewer degrees of freedom per joint translates to fewer possibilities of positioning and fewer lines of code) and predictability of movement.
What is a sentence using the word distal?
The distal end of the bone is where it connects to the joint.
What does the word Distally mean in medical terms?
Distal refers to farthest away. For example, if one speaks of the elbow in relation to other body parts, the hand would be distal to the elbow, while the humerus would be proximal (the closer)Distal (Latin: to stand apart, be remote) in easy English means DISTANCE or away from. For instance the distal phalanges are the fingers and toes -- they are a "fer piece" down at the end of the arm and leg. They are the furthest from the point of attachment to the body.
What joint is found between the humerus and the ulna?
A strong, complex ligament called the inter- (between) -osseous (bones) ligament, plus some blood vessels and nerves. You can find these things in the center of the forearm, between the two bones. Strong ligaments also connect the radius and ulna down by the wrist and up by the elbow.
What is more powerful a fist or an elbow?
Elbow.
