What lie lateral to the wrist?
In anatomical position, it is possible to say the thumb is lateral to the wrist. No other structure could be considered lateral to the wrist.
Are the two anatomical sites to check heart rate the carotid artery and posterior wrist?
More or less that is true but in the wrist you are looking for the radial artery. This artery is clearly visible on the wrist. Press this artery lightly with flat fingers.
What combination of movements is required at the shoulder and elbow joints for a person to move his right upper limb from the anatomical position to touch the right side of his head with his fingertip?
First flexion at the elbow, rotation at the shoulder and then abduction of the upper arm. The joint at the wrist doesn't change position.

Why is your pulse taken from either your neck and wrist?
Your pulse is taken from either your neck or wrist is because you have major veins in those areas that pumps blood to the heart, which is sent in rhythms synced with your heart. You have artery's in your neck, which is the Jugular Arteries. Blood is pumped out of the heart to arteries which give blood to the rest of the body. Those to places have strong sync with the heart which lead to the beat being in rhythm.
Is the elbow medial to the wrist?
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. In anatomical position, it is neither medial nor lateral to the wrist.
Are the fingers lateral to your wrist?
The fingers are distal to the wrist. The wrist is proximal to the fingers. In anatomical position, it is possible to say the thumb is lateral to the wrist.

What medical position is rotating your wrist inward from anatomical position called?
Rotating your wrist inward from anatomical position moves your pinkie finger toward the midline of the body. This movement is called adduction in medical terminology. Rotation of your wrist the opposite way so your thumb is far away from the midline of the body is called abduction.
Are the two anatomical sites for checking heart rate the carotid artery and posterior wrist?
both
What bones form the bumps on the medial and lateral sides of a wrist?
The radius forms the bump on the lateral side of the wrist. The ulna forms the bump on the medial side of the wrist. Remember to keep anatomical position in mind when determining directionals for the upper limb.
The two anatomical sites for checking heart rate are the carotid artery and posterior wrist?
both
Is the wrist proximal to the fingers?
distal to the wrist, because they are away from the shoulder (origin point)
In Western anatomical position what is the location of the distal ulna?
The ulna is located on the medial side of forearm, just proximal of the wrist.

More or less that is true but in the wrist you are looking for the radial artery. This artery is clearly visible on the wrist. Press this artery lightly with flat fingers.
Is the hand lateral to the wrist?
No. When the body is in the anatomical position, the thumb is further away from the midline. You say that the thumb is lateral to the ring finger.
