The radial artery
Radial Artery
A radial styloidectomy is a procedure to treat an arthritic condition on the radial bone side of the wrist. Radial -- radi = ray (radial bone) + al = pertaining to Styloid -- sty = slender projection + oid = resembles -ectomy -- ec = from + tom = cut + y = procedure (surgically remove)
It overlies the radius, the main bone in the forearm.
The radial bone in cows is longer and more slender compared to pigs, which have a shorter and sturdier radial bone. Additionally, the shape of the radial bone in cows tends to be more curved compared to the more straight shape in pigs. These differences are due to the anatomical variations between the two species to support their different modes of locomotion and weight-bearing requirements.
The navicular bone is sometimes referred to scaphoid bone, which is one of the carpal bones in the wrist. It is also called the radiocarpal joint when it is associated with th radius and the lunate, another carpal bone. The three bones the form an ellipsoidal joint.
Radial artery
The radial head is located at the top of the radius bone in your forearm near the elbow. The distal end of the radius is near the wrist. So therefore the radial head is not located near the distal end.
Cortical bone facilitates bone's main functions: to support the whole body, protect organs, provide levers for movement, and store and release chemical elements, mainly calcium. The posterior aspect is the back side. The radial head is the elbow end of the radius (the thicker bone in your arm)
The radius bone in the forearm has an end called the radial head which is shaped like a monkey wrench.
The radius bone (or radial bone) is one of the two largest bones of the forearm, the other one being the ulna.
A pulse can be found where and artery passes over a bone, for example, in your wrist (also known as the radial pulse).
