The wrist is distal to the forearm. The wrist is neither medical nor lateral to the forearm.
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.
Yes. the upper arm is closer to the origin of attachment to body truck than is the forearm
Distal. Distal means farther away from the point of attachment. Antebrachial refers to your forearm and axillary refers to your armpit. So your forearm is farther away from your armpit when it comes to where it attaches to the body.
The forearm is distal to the upper arm. Distal meaning further away from the thoracic trunk, so technically in relation to location and height, the forearm is the lower-middle part of the arm, the hand being the absolute lowest part.
Phalanges are distal to the the ulna bone. By the way the ulna bone does not participate in formation of the wrist joint.
Distal to the forearm(antebrachium) and proximal to the hand
No, the fingernail is distal to the elbow. Imagine a body standing with arms and legs spread out, like Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. To determine if a part is distal or proximal to another part, look to see if it is closer or farther from the center of the body relative to the body part you are comparing it to. The fingernail is farther from the center of the body than the elbow, so it is distal to the elbow. In contrast the shoulder is closer to the center of the body, so it is proximal to the elbow. Using the same reasoning, the elbow is distal to the shoulder. When you're comfortable with those distinctions, you can start thinking about other terms like ventral, dorsal, caudal, saggital, coronal, etc.
In the anatomical position, the upper arm is superior and/or proximal to the forearm.
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 radial head is located at the top of the radius bone in your forearm near the elbow. The distal end of the radius is near the wrist. So therefore the radial head is not located near the distal end.
Its is the space in the distal forearm located between deep pronator quadratus nd over lying flexor tendons....its homes the median nerve nd its superficial branch.
