What is the proximal medial aspect of the proximal phalanx of the toe?
Proximal means closer to the origin of the limb or finger. Medial means the inside aspect, closer to the midline. So the proximal medial aspect of the proximal phalanx is the "inside" edge of the first bone of the toe, closer to the beginning of the toe than to the end.
Which term is misspelled proximal medial vertebral thoracic?
The misspelled term is "thoracic" as it should be "proximal medial vertebral thoracic".
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 patella bone proximal to the ulna bone?
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.
In Western anatomical position what is the location of the distal ulna?
In Western anatomical position, the distal ulna is located on the medial side of the forearm, next to the pinky finger and opposite to the thumb side. It forms part of the wrist joint, articulating with the carpals and contributing to wrist movements.
The heart is what anatomical position to the ribs?
the heart is medial/proximal to the rib cage
Is the cheekbone proximal to the nose?
Since it is in about the same plane as your cheekbones it can not be considered to be superficial. But the nose is medial to the cheekbones and the cheekbones are lateral to the nose.
What is the proximal medial aspect of the proximal phalanx of the toe?
Proximal means closer to the origin of the limb or finger. Medial means the inside aspect, closer to the midline. So the proximal medial aspect of the proximal phalanx is the "inside" edge of the first bone of the toe, closer to the beginning of the toe than to the end.
Does the nose lay medial to the ears?
proximal
Which term is misspelled proximal medial vertebral thoracic?
The misspelled term is "thoracic" as it should be "proximal medial vertebral thoracic".
The wrist is located_____ of the elbow: a. proximal b. medial c. distal d. ventral?
proximal
What does left lower medial proximal leg mean?
The left lower medial proximal leg is the inside of the left leg just below the knee. "Medial" means it's the side that faces the other leg.
Four proximal carpal bones from lateral to medial?
The four proximal carpal bones from lateral to medial are the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pisiform. Remember what anatomical position looks like when thinking about the lateral or medial location of the bones of the upper extremity.
Is knee is medial to metatarsal?
The knee is proximal or superior to the metatarsals. It can't be described is medial or lateral to the metatarsals.
Is the elbow dorsal or medial to the wrist?
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. It can't be considered dorsal or medial to the wrist.
How would you describe the flow of blood from the heart to the right thumb and back to the heart using the terms proximal distal medial and lateral?
The blood moves in a lateral direction to the distal right thumb. Then the blood comes back in a proximal direction toward the medial body, where the heart is located.
What is a surface landmark on the hand?
If you pronate your hand from anatomical position, you can see metacarpals one through five. the Trapezium is proximal to the first metacarpal as is the trapezoid to the second. The capitate is the most medial of the carpals and the largest. The hamate is proximal to the fourth and fifth metacarpals and lateral to the capitate. But if you supinate your hand back to anatomical position the hamate is more medial. Hint: the first metacarpal is in reference to the thumb.
