It is called as centripetal. That is towards the centre. The reverse direction is called as centrifugal.
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.
The antebrachium refers to the segment of the upper limb between the elbow and the wrist, containing the radius and ulna bones. The brachium, on the other hand, refers to the region between the shoulder and the elbow, which includes the humerus bone. In simple terms, the antebrachium is the forearm, while the brachium is the upper arm.
The ligament that attaches the antebrachium (forearm) to the brachium (arm) is called the elbow joint capsule. It is a strong fibrous structure that helps stabilize and support the elbow joint during movement.
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 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.
The antecubital space is proximal to the carpal region. ( antecubital space being the opposite side of the elbow and the carpal region being the wrist )

The antebrachium refers to the segment of the upper limb between the elbow and the wrist, containing the radius and ulna bones. The brachium, on the other hand, refers to the region between the shoulder and the elbow, which includes the humerus bone. In simple terms, the antebrachium is the forearm, while the brachium is the upper arm.
lateral bone of the antebrachium
The antebrachium is the forearm. It contains the radius on the lateral side and the ulna on the medial side.
