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?
No. When the body is in the anatomical position, the thumb is further away from the midline. You say that the thumb is lateral to the ring finger.
What is the medial bump of the wrist called?
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 lie lateral to the wrist?
In anatomical position, it is possible to say the thumb is lateral to the wrist. No other structure could be considered lateral to the wrist.
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.

Is the wrist proximal to the leg?
The wrist and the leg are on different limbs; therefore, you can't describe their relative position with the terms "proximal" and "distal." The wrist is superior and lateral to the leg.
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.
What is the primary extensor of the wrist and fingers?
The extensor digitorum communis is an extensor of the wrist and fingers. The extensor digitorum communis is the primary extensor of the lateral four fingers IP joint and assists in wrist extension.
Artery generally used to take the pulse at the wrist?
