The humerus is proximal to the radius. The humerus is the upper arm bone, and the radius is the main bone of the forearm.
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
The left radius and ulna, the bones of the forearm, are distal to the left elbow and proximal to the left wrist. The radius is the larger of the two bones.
The radius bone in the forearm is distal to the cubitus (ulna) and proximal to the carpus (wrist bones).
The radius and ulna are proximal to the carpal bones. The carpals are distal to the radius and ulna.
No. The radius is distal to the humerus. The humerus is proximal to the radius. :D
No. The wrist is DISTAL to the elbow. The radius and the ulna ( your forearm ) are what separates the elbow joint from the carpals, and the metacarpals, which is your wrist.
The metacarpal bones are the bones distal to the wrist.metacarpalsThe five hand bones between the carpal bones of the wrist and the phalangeal bones of the fingers are the metacarpals.
No, it the wrist would be distal to the elbow. The best way to remember this is by using the words approximate (close) and distant (far). If something is proximal, it is closer to the trunk. If it is distal, it is further away from the trunk. That's wrong, i just got that one wrong on the test i was taking. it is proximal to the elbow!!
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
The arm is divided into three general regions. The first region is the upper arm. It consists of a single bone called the humerus.The second region is the lower arm. It consists of two bones, the radius and the ulna.The Radius is closest to your thumb. There aren't and bones actually connected.So it's the radius.... =] hope I helped!! :)
The distal end of the humerus articulates with the two bones of the forearm, the radius and the ulna. Noteworthy features on its distal and are the lateral and medial epicondyles (one of which is your elbow) as well as the trochlea and capitulum(both of these features forming the "pulley" shape found at the end of the humerus.
The radius and its companion bone the ulna form the forearm and are part of, or connect to, the wrist (radiocarpal joint) at the distal end and elbow (radioulnar joint) at the proximal end.
