A lateral carpal is a wrist bone closest to the thumb side of the wrist. The trapezium and scaphoid are the lateral carpals.
Extensors of the wrist and hand are found in the posterior compartment and attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. The flexors, not the extensors, pass through the carpal tunnel.
The hand is immediately distal to the carpal region. In particular, the metacarpals and phalanges are distal to the carpal region.
The pollux is distal to the carpal region. The pollux is the thumb, and the carpal region is the region of the wrist.
carpal from tarsal differentiate?
The carpal bones (wrist bones) make up the "floor" of the carpal tunnel and the transverse carpal tunnel ligament make up the top part of the tunnel.
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.
The median runs through the carpal tunnel. It supplies the thumb side of the hand.

Extensors of the wrist and hand are found in the posterior compartment and attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. The flexors, not the extensors, pass through the carpal tunnel.
CARPAL BONES!!!! (aka wrist)In order from lateral to medial in anatomical position :D
Some words with the prefix "carpal" meaning wrist include carpal tunnel syndrome, carpal bones, and carpal ligament.
There are eight carpal bones in total, arranged in two rows. Naming the bones form the most lateral to medial, in order, they go Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetral, Pisiform, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, and Hamate. The first row of bones, except for the Pisiform bone articulate with the radius at the wrist joint :)
The hand is immediately distal to the carpal region. In particular, the metacarpals and phalanges are distal to the carpal region.
There are 8 carpal bones on each hand/wrist. These comprise of the scaphoid, hamate, lunate, capitate, triquetrum, trapezoid, trapezium and pisiform. See below for illustration.
Not sure what the carpal tunnel of love is..it is not related to the medical of carpal tunnel though.
The pollux is distal to the carpal region. The pollux is the thumb, and the carpal region is the region of the wrist.
