Where is the radial pressure point?
The point of the radial pulse is located on the patient's 'thumb' side of their wrist. You locate the patient's radial artery (pulse pont) in the patient's wrist using your middle two or three fingers. You count the number of pulses that occur in eiher 30 seconds or 1 minute. NEVER use your thumb to take a pulse. You would then be feeling your OWN pulse.
How many carpal bones are on one side of the body?
Eight. Proximal row contains from lateral to medial side four bones. They are Scaphoid, Lunate, triqurtal and Pisiform. Distal row contains from lateral to medial side four bones. They are Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate and Hammate.( Out of these fracture of Scaphoid is very dangerous if untreated. Leading to avascular necrosis of the distal part and wrist is affected for ever.)
What is the lateral ankle prejection called?
The lateral malleolus is the lateral projection from the distal fibula. This projection is the bump at the outside of your ankle.
Is buttocks lateral from wrist?
The buttocks are medial to the wrist. The wrist is lateral to the buttocks.
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 is a lateral carpal?
A lateral carpal is a wrist bone closest to the thumb side of the wrist. The trapezium and scaphoid are the lateral carpals.
Is the hand lateral to the wrist?

The medial bump of the wrist is caused by the styloid process of the ulna. The lateral wrist bump is from the radius.
What are the processes and bones that create your medial and lateral ankle and wrist bumps?
The bumps at the ankle are the malleoli (singular malleolus). The medial malleolus is formed by the tibia, and the lateral malleolus by the fibula. The medial wrist bump is formed by the styloid process of the ulna, and the lateral wrist bump by the styloid process of the radius.

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.
