Condyles refer to bulges on the ends of bones that usually articulate with other bones.
the mandibular condyles open the jaw
No . The hand is proximal to the wrist . Proximal = proximity[ closeness] Distal = distant [ farther away ]
The olecranon is known as the proximal end of the forearm. The proximal end of the forearm refers to the olecranon.
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
The primary proximal end landmarks of the tibia are the lateral and medial condyles. These bumps at the top of the tibia are the site where the tibia articulates with the femur. Between the condyles is the intercondylar area, which is the place where the ligaments of the knee attach. The meniscus attaches in the intercondylar area as well.
The atlas articulates with the occiptal condyles.
The medial and lateral condyles of the femur are located in the knee. They articulate with the tibia.
Condyles refer to bulges on the ends of bones that usually articulate with other bones.
Condyles of femurfemur
Eminence superior to a Condyle (e.g., the lateral epicondyle of the humerus)
The occipital condyles "lay on", or articulate with, the lateral masses of the first cervical vertebra, also known as atlas.
The occipital condyles of the occipital bones articulate with the first cervical vertebra.
The distal end of the humerus articulates with the two bones of the forearm, the radius and the ulna. Noteworthy features on its distal and are the lateral and medial epicondyles (one of which is your elbow) as well as the trochlea and capitulum(both of these features forming the "pulley" shape found at the end of the humerus.
condyles
Proximal means closer to the origin of the limb, so the knee is proximal to the ankle, and the wrist is proximal to the thumb.
