Is the ulna contra-lateral to the radius?
The right ulna is medial to the right radius. The right ulna is contralateral to the left radius.
What are the special terms used to describe medial and lateral rotation of the forearm?
radius (lateral) Ulna (medial)
What is the lateral bone of the forearm?
In anatomical position the palms are facing up, making the ulna the medial bone of the forearm. The ulna is on the pinky side, and radius is on the thumb side.
What makes the radius bone lateral to the ulna?
The anatomical position of the radius bone (forearm bone) in relation to the ulna bone is due to the positioning of the thumb in the human hand. The radius is located lateral (on the same side as the thumb) to the ulna bone when the palms are facing up. This positioning allows for rotation of the forearm and greater range of motion in activities like grasping and rotating objects.
What is an antebrachium?
The antebrachium is the forearm. It contains the radius on the lateral side and the ulna on the medial side.
What is the shorter lateral bone of the forearm?
The 'Ulna'. It's your 'funny bone' bone, more or less.
What is the medial bump of the wrist called?
The medial bump of the wrist is called the pisiform bone. It is a small, pea-shaped bone located on the palmar side of the wrist. It serves as an attachment site for some ligaments and muscles of the hand.
What is located on the distal aspect of the humerus?
The medial and lateral epicondyles are located on the distal apsect of the humerus. The distal humerus articulates with the radius and ulna.
Is the radius medial to the ulna?
No. The radius is distal to the humerus. The humerus is proximal to the radius. :D
What are the processes and bones that create your medial and lateral ankle and wrist bumps?
The bumps at the ankle are the malleoli (singular malleolus). The medial malleolus is formed by the tibia, and the lateral malleolus by the fibula. The medial wrist bump is formed by the styloid process of the ulna, and the lateral wrist bump by the styloid process of the radius.
Which two bones are in the forearm?
The ulna and the radius are the two bones in the forearm. Latin: Ulnaris et. radialis. If you hold your arm at your side with the palm forward ulna is palpable on the medial (inside) part of the forearm, whilst the radius is palpable on lateral (outside) side. In layman terms, the radius is on the side of your thumb, and the ulna on the side of the pinky-finger.
What bones form the bumps on the medial and lateral sides of a wrist?
The radius forms the bump on the lateral side of the wrist. The ulna forms the bump on the medial side of the wrist. Remember to keep anatomical position in mind when determining directionals for the upper limb.
