No, the patella is not proximal to the ulna. The patella is the kneecap, and is on the lower extremity. The ulna is the smaller of the forearm bones. Since the structures are on different limbs, you can't use the directionals proximal and distal. However, the patella is inferior and medial to the ulna.
Phalanges are distal to the the ulna bone. By the way the ulna bone does not participate in formation of the wrist joint.
Yes, the patella is distal to the femur. This is because the patella is more distant than the femur to the attachment point to the trunk of the body. You can also say the femur is proximal to the patella.
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
The ulna has the head at the distal end. Usually the head of a bone is located at the proximal end. The ulna has a large process called the olecranon process that people call their 'elbow'.
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)
Humerus
Phalanges are distal to the the ulna bone. By the way the ulna bone does not participate in formation of the wrist joint.
The ulna is a bone of the arm, and the tibia is a bone of the leg. They have no articulations.
Yes, the patella is distal to the femur. This is because the patella is more distant than the femur to the attachment point to the trunk of the body. You can also say the femur is proximal to the patella.
The humerus (upper arm bone) is closer to the body than the ulna and the radius (lower arm bones) and so it is proximal. See link below: Table #3
The patella is anterior to the joint between the femur and tibia. The patella is also known as the kneecap.
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.

The ulna has the head at the distal end. Usually the head of a bone is located at the proximal end. The ulna has a large process called the olecranon process that people call their 'elbow'.
The patella is the round bone on the anterior of the knee. You can palpate the surface of the knee and you can gently shift the patella bone side to side. The insertion of the patella bone is quadricep ligament which attaches to the proximal end of the tibia. The origin of the patella is the quadricep tendon. The quadriceps consist of four muscles: rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis, and the vastus lateralis.
Patellar means related to the patella bone. Patella is a sesamoid bone in the front of the knee joint. Terms are used like pre-pattellar or post-patellar. Pre-patellar means proximal to the patella or post patellar means distal to the patella bone. Patellar tendon or patellar dislocation. The expert in the English grammar should comment on the correctness of the term, please.
The radius and ulna are proximal to the carpal bones. The carpals are distal to the radius and ulna.
