What else can I help you with?
Is the humerus distal from the thumb?
The humerus is proximal, not distal, to the thumb.
Where transcondylar distal humerus?
The distal humerus is the end of the humerus nearest the elbow. Transcondylar means across the condyles, or the knobs at the end of the humerus.
Is The distal end of the humerus at the shoulder?
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 anatomic neck of the humerus is distal to the surgical neck of the humerus?
Actually, the anatomic neck of the humerus is proximal to the surgical neck of the humerus. The anatomic neck is the slightly constricted region below the head of the humerus, while the surgical neck is the region of the humerus prone to fractures located distal to the tubercles.
What is more distal the humerus or the carpals?
The carpals are more distal than the humerus. The carpals are the bones in the wrist, whereas the humerus is the bone in the upper arm. Distal refers to a structure that is farther away from the point of attachment to the body.
Is the medial epicondyle adjacent to trochlea?
The medial epicondyle (on the humerus) is located closet to the body when in the anatomical position and the trochlea (on the humerus) is located slightly laterally and inferior to the medial epicondyle.
What bony landmark of the anterior humerus articulates with the ulna?
To you mean the joint itself? The elbow, AKA the proximal-distal axis of the humerus and ulna, respectively.Or just the distal epiphysis of the humerus (the rounded head of the bone which is farther fromthe arm's point of attachment to the torso)
What is the most lateral distal part of the humerus?
Lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
Is the humerus distal to the carpals?
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
Fossa on distal posterior surface of humerus?
The fossa on the distal posterior surface of the humerus is the olecranon fossa. It is located above the trochlea and accommodates the olecranon process of the ulna when the elbow is extended. It helps to increase the range of motion of the elbow joint.
What joint is formed by the humerus?
The distal (meaning furthest from the body) aspect of the humerus that forms the elbow is called the trochlea, which literally means pulley.The distal & medial aspect of the humerus in the region of the elbow is called the medial epicondyle, but this is more of a site for tendon attachment for flexor muscles. The medial epicondyle is not a part of the actual elbow joint.
Is the ulna proximal or distal to the radius in directional position?
The humerus is proximal to the radius. The humerus is the upper arm bone, and the radius is the main bone of the forearm.
