What are the main directional term of the body?
The head is superior to the heart The fibula is lateral to the tibia The leg is inferior to the thigh The brain is deep to the skull The skin is superficial to muscle The arm is proximal to the forearm The hand is distal to the shoulder The left ear and left eye are ipsilateral to each other. The ears are contralateral to each other The heart is medial to the arms
What are the fourteen bones that form the framework of the fingers on each hand?
Each hand has a total of 14 "finger" bones. All the fingers have three, except for the thumb which only has two. The thumb has a proximal and distal phalange, while the other fingers have a proximal, intermediate, and distal phalange.
How many phalanges in a human thumb?

What is the joint in your fingers called?
Finger joints are condyloid joints.It is the Hinge Jointthey are called proximal interphilangeal jointsThe joint of the finger can be called the knuckle or saddle joint for the thumb.Hope that helped.hinge jointsSynovial joints .
Where is the nose relative to the throat medial or proximal?
The nose is superior and slightly anterior to the throat. Both structures are midline, so one can't be called medial to the other.

Is the tibia lateral to the fibula?
The fibula is located lateral to the tibia. In overall anatomical position, the tibia is medial in the body, and the tibia lateral. Both are located in the lower leg. The tibia articulates with the patella proximally, the fibula laterally, and the talus distally.

Is the ear lateral to the cheeks?
the ear is ipselateral to the cheeks because ear refers to right or left ear but if the statement says "EARS" with the s, the ears are lateral to the cheeks because it is towards the side with respect to the imaginary midline.

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.

How many bones do we have in our fingers?
The fingers (and toes) in anatomy are called digits. The visible parts are made up of three bones called phalanges (aside from the thumbs). The Distal Phalanx is the one in the tip of the finger, the Middle Phalanx is the one in the middle of the finger and the Proximal Phalanx is in the base of the finger. There is also another bone in each digit but is hidden the body of the Hand. These are called the Metacarpal bones and are long thin bones. These are not part of the digits.To answer this directly: the number of bones in each finger is three except the thumb which has two. The same with the toes. The large toe has two and the others have three.
