No, it the wrist would be distal to the elbow.
The best way to remember this is by using the words approximate (close) and distant (far). If something is proximal, it is closer to the trunk. If it is distal, it is further away from the trunk.
That's wrong, i just got that one wrong on the test i was taking. it is proximal to the elbow!!
No The elbow is proximal to the long bones of the upper [humerus] and lower[ radius and ulna] arm. The wrist is proximal to the radius and ulna above , and the carpal bones of the hand.
The wrist is distal to the elbow. The elbow is proximal to the wrist.
yes it is
The elbow is proximal to the wrist
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. The wrist is distal to the elbow.
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.
No. The wrist is DISTAL to the elbow. The radius and the ulna ( your forearm ) are what separates the elbow joint from the carpals, and the metacarpals, which is your wrist.
The wrist is proximal to the fingers and distal to the elbow.
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. It can't be considered dorsal or medial to the wrist.
No, the wrist is distal to the elbow and the elbow is proximal to the wrist.
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. In anatomical position, it is neither medial nor lateral to the wrist.
The elbow is distal to the shoulder but proximal to the wrist
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. The wrist is distal to the elbow.
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.
