What portion of the lower extremity is found distal to the knee and proximal to the ankle?
The portion of the lower extremity found distal to the knee and proximal to the ankle is the shin or the lower leg. It consists of the tibia bone at the front and the fibula bone at the back.
Are the phalanges distal to the metatarsals?
The phalanges, or toe bones, are distal to the metatarsals. They are farther away from the origin of the lower limb.
Is the patella bone proximal to the ulna bone?
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.
Are the metatarsals distal to the calcaneous?
No, the tarsal bones are proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the tarsal bones.
Which bones articulate with the distal radius?
The lower extremity of the radius actually has two bones which it articulates with. The carpal and the ulna.
What is the name of the most distal joint of the lower extremity?
The distal interphalangeal joints are the most distal joints of the lower extremities.
What is the name of the joint at the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia that the patella overlaps?
The tibiofemoral joint is at the distal and of the femur and proximal end of the tibia. The femur is the thighbone, and the tibia is the larger of the two bones of the lower leg.
Is the elbow proximal to the wrist?
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!!
What are the proximal and distal attachments for the Anconeus?
Lower two-thirds of the anterior surface of the humerous
Is the knee is distal to the ankle?
The toes are distal to the ankle. They are farther away from the origin of the lower leg.
Name the bones of the thumb?
The arm is divided into three general regions. The first region is the upper arm. It consists of a single bone called the humerus.The second region is the lower arm. It consists of two bones, the radius and the ulna.The Radius is closest to your thumb. There aren't and bones actually connected.So it's the radius.... =] hope I helped!! :)
What is distral in knee?
In biology, "distal" means "away" (from the center of the body or point of attachment). The lower leg and foot are distal to the knee. The opposite of distal is "proximal".
