What else can I help you with?
The wrist is what to the fingers in respect of the elbow?
The wrist is distal to the fingers in relation to the elbow.
Is the elbow anterior to the shoulder?
nope. anterior means in front of. the elbow is distal to the shoulder.
Is the elbow proximal or distal to your fingers?
The hand is distal, because your hand is drawing away from your body. Proximal means closer to the body.Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.
Examples of proximal and distal?
the thigh is proximal(closer) to the foot; moving proximally from the wrist brings you close brings you to the elbox. the fingers are distal(farther from the attachment point) to the wrist. hpethat helps good luck :)
Is the acromial region proximal to the olecranon?
No, the acromial region is more proximal and superior to the olecranon. The acromial region refers to the part of the shoulder formed by the acromion process of the scapula, while the olecranon is the bony tip of the elbow.
Is the shoulder proximal to the elbow?
No. The elbow is distal to the shoulder. Proximal means closer to the body, whereas distal is further away.
The wrist is what to the fingers in respect of the elbow?
The wrist is distal to the fingers in relation to the elbow.
Is the elbow anterior to the shoulder?
nope. anterior means in front of. the elbow is distal to the shoulder.
Is the elbow proximal or distal to your fingers?
The hand is distal, because your hand is drawing away from your body. Proximal means closer to the body.Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.
The fingers in relation to the elbow are?
The fingers are distal to the elbow, meaning they are farther away from the body compared to the elbow.
Which of the following describes the position of the elbow with respect to the wrist and shoulder?
The elbow is distal to the shoulder but proximal to the wrist
Examples of proximal and distal?
the thigh is proximal(closer) to the foot; moving proximally from the wrist brings you close brings you to the elbox. the fingers are distal(farther from the attachment point) to the wrist. hpethat helps good luck :)
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.
Is the acromial region proximal to the olecranon?
No, the acromial region is more proximal and superior to the olecranon. The acromial region refers to the part of the shoulder formed by the acromion process of the scapula, while the olecranon is the bony tip of the elbow.
What directional term can be used to specify the relationships between the elbow and the shoulder?
the elbow is distal to the shoulder or converselt the shoulder is proximal to the elbow. these are in relation to being closer or further from the medial lind of your body
What does proximal mean in cna term?
The closest position. ex: the elbow is proximal to the shoulder. The wrist is distal to the shoulder.
Is The wrist distal to the forearm?
No, the fingernail is distal to the elbow. Imagine a body standing with arms and legs spread out, like Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. To determine if a part is distal or proximal to another part, look to see if it is closer or farther from the center of the body relative to the body part you are comparing it to. The fingernail is farther from the center of the body than the elbow, so it is distal to the elbow. In contrast the shoulder is closer to the center of the body, so it is proximal to the elbow. Using the same reasoning, the elbow is distal to the shoulder. When you're comfortable with those distinctions, you can start thinking about other terms like ventral, dorsal, caudal, saggital, coronal, etc.
