Are toes proximal to the calf?
The toes are distal to the calf. The toes are farther away from the origin of the lower limb.
What is the proximal medial aspect of the proximal phalanx of the toe?
Proximal means closer to the origin of the limb or finger. Medial means the inside aspect, closer to the midline. So the proximal medial aspect of the proximal phalanx is the "inside" edge of the first bone of the toe, closer to the beginning of the toe than to the end.
Name the strongest bone in the lower limb?
The femur is the longest, strongest, and heaviest bone in the body.
Is the left great toe proximal to the left knee?
The toes are distal to the knees. They are farther away from the origin of the lower limb.
How does rotation differ from circumduction?
Rotation involves, Rotation of the head, neck and lower limb and circumduction, abduction is the angular movements: abduction, adduction and circumduction of the upper limb at the shoulder
What is the proximal direction of the body?
Proximal means closer to the origin of the limb, so the knee is proximal to the ankle, and the wrist is proximal to the thumb.
What set of terms refer to the position up or down the limbs?
Proximal is close to the body while distal is further away from the body. The upper and lower limbs are attached at the proximal end and the tips of the digits are distal from the point of attachment.
Are the metatarsals distal to the calcaneous?
No, the tarsal bones are proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the tarsal bones.
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.
What is the medical term meaning toward the origin of attachment to the trunk?
Proximal is the term that means closer to the origin of a limb.
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.
When a child's bone is fractured growth may be stimulated at the epiphyseal plate What problems might this extra growth cause in an upper or lower limb before the growth of the other limb compensates?
When a child's bone is fractured, growth may be stimulated at the epiphyseal plate of that bone. What problems might this extra growth cause in an upper or lower limb before the growth of the other limb compensates for the difference in length?
