What else can I help you with?
Is the femur distal to the tarsals?
Yes, the femur is proximal to the tarsals. The femur is the long bone in the thigh, which is closer to the trunk of the body, while the tarsals are the bones in the foot, which are distal to the femur.
Where in long bone is spongy bone located?
It is located in the interior of the bone. Particularly in the Proximal and Distal epiphyisis.
What are the long hand bones proximal to the phalanges?
The long hand bones proximal to the phalanges are the metacarpals. They articulate with the carpals of the wrist at one end and the phalanges of the fingers at the other end. There are five metacarpal bones in each hand.
What is the rounded end of the bone called?
Epiphyses is the word used for the distal and proximal ends of long bones. The epiphysis contains red bone marrow.
Where is red bone marrow most abundant?
Red bone marrow is found in spongy bone located mostly in the ends of the long bones.Red marrow is found mainly in the flat bones such as hip bone, breast bone, skull, ribs, vertebrae and shoulder blades, and in the cancellous ("spongy") material at the proximal ends of the long bones femur and humerus.
Where is the metatarsus?
Metatarsus bones are five long foot bones. They are distal to tarsus bones and proximal to phalanges in your foot. So bones that are proximal to your toes are metatarsus bones.
Is the femur distal to the tarsals?
Yes, the femur is proximal to the tarsals. The femur is the long bone in the thigh, which is closer to the trunk of the body, while the tarsals are the bones in the foot, which are distal to the femur.
Where in long bone is spongy bone located?
It is located in the interior of the bone. Particularly in the Proximal and Distal epiphyisis.
Is the elbow proximal to the wrist?
No, it the wrist would be distal to the elbow. The best way to remember this is by using the words approximate (close) and distant (far). If something is proximal, it is closer to the trunk. If it is distal, it is further away from the trunk. That's wrong, i just got that one wrong on the test i was taking. it is proximal to the elbow!!
What are the bones of the lower extremity from proximal to distal?
The bones of the lower extremity, from proximal to distal, include the pelvis (which consists of the ilium, ischium, and pubis), femur, patella, tibia, and fibula. The tibia and fibula are the two long bones of the lower leg, with the tibia being the larger and weight-bearing bone. Distally, the bones of the ankle include the talus and calcaneus, followed by the metatarsals and phalanges of the foot.
What type of bone is the fingers?
The bones that make up your fingers (and toes) are called phalanges.
What are the long hand bones proximal to the phalanges?
The long hand bones proximal to the phalanges are the metacarpals. They articulate with the carpals of the wrist at one end and the phalanges of the fingers at the other end. There are five metacarpal bones in each hand.
Where is Spongy bone in a long bone?
It is located in the interior of the bone. Particularly in the Proximal and Distal epiphyisis
What is the rounded end of the bone called?

Red blood cells are prduced in the?
Red marrow which is found mainly in the flat bones such as hip bone, breast bone, skull, ribs, vertebrae and shoulder blades, and in the cancellous ("spongy") material at the proximal ends of the long bones femur and humerus.
Bones that are distal to the tibia and fibula and proximal to the metatarsals?
The bone structures between the toes and ankle are call tarsal and metatarsal bones. These make up the main structure of the foot beyond the ankle. The toes are often refered to as phalanges. (fingers also share this name) As an additional point of information, the bones in the hand are call carpals and metacarpals finishing up with the proximal phalanges, intermidiate phalanges and distal phalanges.
