The fingers are located where to the wrist?
the fingers are DISTAL to the wrist bones.
Where Distal is?
Distal in anatomy means farther away from a point than another point. For example, your fingers are distal to your upper arm. You always have to compare two things.
Is the hand is proximal to elbow?
No . The hand is proximal to the wrist . Proximal = proximity[ closeness] Distal = distant [ farther away ]
Is the phalanges referred as the fingers and toes?
Yes, the phalanges are the bones that make up the fingers and toes. Each finger and toe has three phalanges: the proximal phalanx closest to the hand or foot, the middle phalanx, and the distal phalanx at the tip of the digit.
During an emergency room examination for an injured arm the physian papates the entires arm length starting at the shoulder and ending at the fingers of the hand this process takes him from an?
Proximal to distal position
The fingers are distal to the hand?
no
Are the vertebrae of the spine distal to the arms?
The vertebrae are not distal to the arms; they are medial to the arms. The hand, wrist, and fingers are distal to the arms.
The elbow is distal to the shoulder and what to the fingers?
The shoulder is superior to the hand, it cannot be classified as distal or proximal.
Is the hand lateral to the wrist?
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.
Is the elbow proximal or distal to your fingers?
The hand is distal, because your hand is drawing away from your body. Proximal means closer to the body.Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.
The wrist is what to the fingers in respect of the elbow?
The wrist is proximal to the fingers and distal to the elbow.
What are the fourteen bones that form the framework of the fingers on each hand?
Each hand has a total of 14 "finger" bones. All the fingers have three, except for the thumb which only has two. The thumb has a proximal and distal phalange, while the other fingers have a proximal, intermediate, and distal phalange.
Is the wrist proximal to the fingers?
distal to the wrist, because they are away from the shoulder (origin point)
What is the wrist to the fingers?
distal
How do you the word distal in a sentence?
The distal end of the bone was fractured in the accident.
The fingers are located where to the wrist?
the fingers are DISTAL to the wrist bones.
Is the shoulder proximal to the elbow?
