What is located on the distal aspect of the humerus?

The medial and lateral epicondyles are located on the distal apsect of the humerus. The distal humerus articulates with the radius and ulna.


Where transcondylar distal humerus?

The distal humerus is the end of the humerus nearest the elbow. Transcondylar means across the condyles, or the knobs at the end of the humerus.


What is more distal the humerus or the carpals?

The carpals are more distal than the humerus. The carpals are the bones in the wrist, whereas the humerus is the bone in the upper arm. Distal refers to a structure that is farther away from the point of attachment to the body.


Is The distal end of the humerus at the shoulder?

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.


What is the most lateral distal part of the humerus?

Lateral epicondyle of the humerus.


Is the thumb proximal to the forefinger?

Yes, the thumb is proximal to the forefinger. In anatomical terms, "proximal" refers to a structure being closer to the point of attachment or origin, so the thumb, being closer to the hand/wrist, is proximal to the forefinger.


What bony landmark of the anterior humerus articulates with the ulna?

To you mean the joint itself? The elbow, AKA the proximal-distal axis of the humerus and ulna, respectively.Or just the distal epiphysis of the humerus (the rounded head of the bone which is farther fromthe arm's point of attachment to the torso)


Is the humerus distal to the carpals?

The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.


The anatomic neck of the humerus is distal to the surgical neck of the humerus?

Actually, the anatomic neck of the humerus is proximal to the surgical neck of the humerus. The anatomic neck is the slightly constricted region below the head of the humerus, while the surgical neck is the region of the humerus prone to fractures located distal to the tubercles.


Is the ulna proximal or distal to the radius in directional position?

The humerus is proximal to the radius. The humerus is the upper arm bone, and the radius is the main bone of the forearm.


Is the thumb internal to the humerus?

The thumb would be external in relation to the humerus, if the body is laid in the anatomical position.


What is the distal medial process of the humerus?

The trochlea is the medial process of the humerus. The humerus articulates with the ulna at the trochlea.
