What else can I help you with?
Is the humerus distal from the thumb?
The humerus is proximal, not distal, to the thumb.
What is located on the distal aspect of the humerus?
The medial and lateral epicondyles are located on the distal apsect of the humerus. The distal humerus articulates with the radius and ulna.
What is more distal the humerus or the carpals?
The carpals are more distal than the humerus. The carpals are the bones in the wrist, whereas the humerus is the bone in the upper arm. Distal refers to a structure that is farther away from the point of attachment to the body.
Is The distal end of the humerus at the shoulder?
The distal end of the humerus articulates with the two bones of the forearm, the radius and the ulna. Noteworthy features on its distal and are the lateral and medial epicondyles (one of which is your elbow) as well as the trochlea and capitulum(both of these features forming the "pulley" shape found at the end of the humerus.
What is the most lateral distal part of the humerus?
Lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
What bony landmark of the anterior humerus articulates with the ulna?
To you mean the joint itself? The elbow, AKA the proximal-distal axis of the humerus and ulna, respectively.Or just the distal epiphysis of the humerus (the rounded head of the bone which is farther fromthe arm's point of attachment to the torso)
Is the humerus distal to the carpals?
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
The anatomic neck of the humerus is distal to the surgical neck of the humerus?
Actually, the anatomic neck of the humerus is proximal to the surgical neck of the humerus. The anatomic neck is the slightly constricted region below the head of the humerus, while the surgical neck is the region of the humerus prone to fractures located distal to the tubercles.
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 distal medial process of the humerus?
The trochlea is the medial process of the humerus. The humerus articulates with the ulna at the trochlea.
What is the trochlear notch that articulates with the humerus?
The trochlear notch is a depression on the proximal end of the ulna bone that articulates with the trochlea of the humerus. This forms the hinge joint of the elbow, allowing for flexion and extension of the forearm.
What are the names of the two bones that articulate with the distal humerus?
radius and ulna
