Is the elbow superior to the wrist?
The elbow is proximal to the wrist
Is the elbow proximal or distal to your fingers?
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.
Which part of the body is antecubitus?
The antecubitus is the area distal to the humerus, proximal to the radius and ulna, and anterior to the trochlea. Layman's terms - face of the arm opposite the elbow, or the inside of the elbow.
Where on the body is the cubital fossa?
The cubital fossa is the depression located on your anterior elbow. The popliteal fossa is on the posterior aspect of the knee.
Is hand proximal to the elbow?
No. 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.
What is an antecubital region?
Cubital means relating to the elbow or to the ulna per Stedman's Electronic Medical Dictionary (SEMD), version 7. Thus, the cubital region is the anterior elbow region plus the posterior elbow region. The anterior cubital region includes the cubital fossa (also known as antecubital space per SEMD). For a view of the cubital fossa and the surrounding anterior surface anatomy, see this Web site: http:/anatomy.med.umich.edu/surface/upper_limb/cubital.html
Is The wrist distal to the forearm?
No, the fingernail is distal to the elbow. Imagine a body standing with arms and legs spread out, like Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. To determine if a part is distal or proximal to another part, look to see if it is closer or farther from the center of the body relative to the body part you are comparing it to. The fingernail is farther from the center of the body than the elbow, so it is distal to the elbow. In contrast the shoulder is closer to the center of the body, so it is proximal to the elbow. Using the same reasoning, the elbow is distal to the shoulder. When you're comfortable with those distinctions, you can start thinking about other terms like ventral, dorsal, caudal, saggital, coronal, etc.
Is the elbow anterior to the shoulder?
nope. anterior means in front of. the elbow is distal to the shoulder.
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!!
Is the head proximal to the elbow?
yes
Is the coronoid fossa on the lateral and posterior side of the humerus?
No, the coronoid fossa is on the lateral and anterior aspect of the humerus. It receives the coronoid process of the ulna during flexion of the elbow.
Is elbow proximal the wrist?
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.
