Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
What are the long hand bones proximal to the phalanges?
The metacarpals are the long hand bones proximal to the phalanges. The carpals are proximal to the metacarpals.
What does the phalanges articulate with?
It depends on the phalanges in question. The distal phalanges in the four fingers and toes articulate with the intermediate phalanges. The intermediate phalanges articulate with the proximal phalanges and the proximal phalanges articulate with the metacarpals of the hand and the metatarsals of the toes. The same is true for the thumb and big toe except that neither one has an intermediate phalanges.
There are how many phalanges of the pollex?
The pollex is the thumb and it has only 2 phalanges, the distal and the proximal. all of the other fingers have a distal, middle and proximal.
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.
What joint do the proximal and distal phalanges meet at?
The proximal and distal phalanges only meet in the first digits (the thumbs and the big tues). This joint is the first interphalangeal joint.
What is the phalanges bones common name?
Proximal and Distal
What makes a joint a distal interphalangeal joint?
A distal interphalangeal joint is the articulation of the medial and distal phalanges. In contrast, a proximal interphalangeal joint is the articulation of the proximal and medial phalanges.
What are the names of the parts of the index finger?
From the nail down the distal phalances, distal interphalangeal joint, the middle phalanges and then the proximal interphalangeal joints. The base of the finger is comprised of the proximal phalanges and the knuckles.
