Is the distal attachment of a muscle the origin?
Origin is typically the proximal attachment of a muscle because it is the least moveable. The distal attachment is where a muscle inserts.
Is the insertion the distal attachment of a muscle?
true
Distal attachment of a muscle is the origin true or false?
false
The origin is the distal attachment of a muscle?
Origin is typically the proximal attachment of a muscle because it is the least moveable. The distal attachment is where a muscle inserts.
What anatomical direction is distal?
Distal refers to 'further from the attachment point'. For example, the ankle is distal to the knee.
Define Origin and insertion?
origin is where the muscle stars (generally the proximal attachment or in some cases medial) insertions is where the muscle ends (generally the distal or lateral attachment) for example the origin of the bicep would be the shoulder while the insertion is the elbow
What is the medical term meaning farthest from center of the body or point of attachment?
Distal is the term that means farther from the attachment of a limb to the trunk or farther from the origination of a structure. For instance, the wrist is distal to the elbow.
What is the closest to the point of attachment in midical terms?
In medical terms, the closest point of attachment is referred to as the proximal end. This typically refers to the end of a bone or muscle that is closer to the center of the body or the point of origin.
What is an attachment site for the temporalis?
The proximal attachment is the temporal bone. The distal attachment is the manible. More specifically the corinoid process.
Is the wrist ventral to the elbow?
no the wrists are distal to the elbow, distal meaning further away from the point of attachment
Is the knee is distal to the hip?
Yes. Distal means farther from the point of attachment or from the center of the body. So the knee is distal to the hip, and the food would be distal to the knee and so on.
What is the distal attachment for the triceps brachii?
Olecrenon process of the ulna
