If a person standing is facing you with the palms of their hands foreward, that arm (and person) is now in what is called an antetomical position.
Take apart the phrase: right is the arm on the patient's right side. The forearm is the part nearest the wrist. The forearm's anterior surface is facing you.
What else can I help you with?
Is the upper arm anterior to the forearm?
In the anatomical position, the upper arm is superior and/or proximal to the forearm.
A movement of the forearm in which the palm of the hand is turned from posterior to anterior is supination?
Yes. Supination is the movement of the forearm in which the palm of the hand is turned from posterior to anterior.
What muscles that move the forearm?
These muscles can be divided into flexor-pronator and extensor-supinator groups. Forearm Pronation: 1. Pronator Teres 2. Pronator Quadratus Forearm Supination 1. Biceps Brachii 2. Supinator
How would you Describe the differences you observe in the type and distribution of hair on the front and back of your forearm?
The skin on the front of the forearm (anterior) has more hair because it has a thicker layer of skin. The forearm (posterior) has less and thinner layers than the anterior, so it has less hair
What are the two bones that are anterior to the occipital?
The two (left and right) parietal and the temporal bones are anterior (closer to the front of the body).
What is the correct way to hang a forearm x-ray?
In anterior posterior. As if they standing looking at you. Their right side about be to your left.
Is the anterior forearm muscle responsible for wrist flexion or wrist extension?
The anterior forearm muscle does not actually exist. Instead, there are a total of eight different muscles with the anterior compartment of the forearm. Their jobs are specifically related to flexion and pronation, or inward rotation of the hand.
Is the upper arm anterior to the forearm?
In the anatomical position, the upper arm is superior and/or proximal to the forearm.
A movement of the forearm in which the palm of the hand is turned from posterior to anterior is supination?
Yes. Supination is the movement of the forearm in which the palm of the hand is turned from posterior to anterior.
Where are the extensor carpi muscles located on the anterior or posterior sifde of the forearm?
The posterior side
Describe the difference you observed in the type and distribution of hair on the front and back of you forearm?
The anterior (front) of your forearm has a dense distribution of hair than the posterior (back). The hairs on the anterior of the forearm are much thicker and longer than those on the posterior. >>>Anatomy and Physiology Student<<< L. Salmon

Where are the extensor carpi muscles found on the anterior or posterior side of the forearm?
The extensor carpi muscles are found on the posterior side of the forearm. They are a group of muscles responsible for extending the wrist and moving the hand upward.
Name the two veins that cross over the superior part of the right coronary artery into the anterior surface of the right ventricle?
The two veins that cross over the superior part of the right coronary artery unto the anterior surface of the right ventricle are the anterior cardiac veins. The anterior cardiac veins are two or three small veins in the anterior wall of the right ventricle opening directly into the right atrium independently of the coronary sinus.
What is the function of the anterior communicating artery?
It connects left and right anterior cerebral arteries
Why is it easier to flex the right elbow when forearm is supinated?
It's easier to flex the right elbow when your forearm is supinated because the palm is turned upward.
