No, the patella is not proximal to the ulna. The patella is the kneecap, and is on the lower extremity. The ulna is the smaller of the forearm bones. Since the structures are on different limbs, you can't use the directionals proximal and distal. However, the patella is inferior and medial to the ulna.
What else can I help you with?
Are the phalanges distal or proximal to the ulna?
Phalanges are distal to the the ulna bone. By the way the ulna bone does not participate in formation of the wrist joint.
What bone is distal to the femur?
Yes, the patella is distal to the femur. This is because the patella is more distant than the femur to the attachment point to the trunk of the body. You can also say the femur is proximal to the patella.
Is the humerus distal to the carpals?
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
Where is the trochlear notch located?
The trochlear notch is located on the ulna bone, which is one of the two bones in the forearm. It is found at the proximal end of the ulna, forming a part of the elbow joint where it articulates with the trochlea of the humerus.
Knee bone called?
The knee bone is called the patella, commonly known as the kneecap. It is a small, flat, triangular-shaped bone that protects the front of the knee joint.
What is the bone proximal to your radius and ulna?
Humerus
Area of the proximal ulna that articulates with the tibia?
The ulna is a bone of the arm, and the tibia is a bone of the leg. They have no articulations.
Are the phalanges distal or proximal to the ulna?
Phalanges are distal to the the ulna bone. By the way the ulna bone does not participate in formation of the wrist joint.
What bone is distal to the femur?
Yes, the patella is distal to the femur. This is because the patella is more distant than the femur to the attachment point to the trunk of the body. You can also say the femur is proximal to the patella.
What is distal to the cubitus and proximal to the carpus?
The radius bone in the forearm is distal to the cubitus (ulna) and proximal to the carpus (wrist bones).
The humerous is proximal to the ulna?
The humerus (upper arm bone) is closer to the body than the ulna and the radius (lower arm bones) and so it is proximal. See link below: Table #3
Which bone is found anterior to the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia?
The patella is anterior to the joint between the femur and tibia. The patella is also known as the kneecap.
Is the humerus distal to the carpals?
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
What is another name for the olecranon process?
Funny boneElbow Bone
Where is the trochlear notch located?
The trochlear notch is located on the ulna bone, which is one of the two bones in the forearm. It is found at the proximal end of the ulna, forming a part of the elbow joint where it articulates with the trochlea of the humerus.
What is the insertion tendon of patella?
The patella is the round bone on the anterior of the knee. You can palpate the surface of the knee and you can gently shift the patella bone side to side. The insertion of the patella bone is quadricep ligament which attaches to the proximal end of the tibia. The origin of the patella is the quadricep tendon. The quadriceps consist of four muscles: rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis, and the vastus lateralis.
What is a patellar?
Patellar means related to the patella bone. Patella is a sesamoid bone in the front of the knee joint. Terms are used like pre-pattellar or post-patellar. Pre-patellar means proximal to the patella or post patellar means distal to the patella bone. Patellar tendon or patellar dislocation. The expert in the English grammar should comment on the correctness of the term, please.
