What is the difference between a DIP joint and a PIP joint?
Distal interphalengeal joint & Proximal interphalengeal joint
Where is the location of the proximal radioulnar joint?
The location of the proximal radioulnar joint is in the forearm, between the head of the radius and the radial notch of the ulna. It is a pivot joint that allows for rotational movement of the radius around the ulna, specifically enabling pronation and supination of the forearm.
Is the carpus proximal to the scapulohumeral joint?
The carpus is distal to the scapulohumeral joint. In other words, your wrist is further away from the mid-line of your body than the joint between your shoulder and humerus. proximal: close to body distal: further from body
What is the proximal end?
proximal end is that end of bone which away from joint
What kind of joints are between proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones?
The joints between the proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones are known as the metacarpophalangeal joints. These joints allow for flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction of the fingers.
What bone does the clavicle attach to at its proximal end?
The proximal end of the clavicle attaches to the manubrium of the sternum. This joint is called the acromiovlavicular joint.
What synovial joint is an interphalangeal joint?
Proximal and distal interphalangeal joints.
What type of joint is found at the base of the thumb?
It is known as the thumb basal joint, also known as the carpometacarpal joint. It is a special saddle-shaped joint that is formed by the small wrist bone and the first of the three bones in the thumb.
Is the hock of a cat located at the proximal end of the tibia and the distal end of the femur?
Yes, the hock joint in a cat is located at the distal end of the femur and the proximal end of the tibia. The hock joint is often compared to the human ankle joint and is essential for their agility and movement.
What is the name of the joint at the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia that the patella overlaps?
The joint at the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia where the patella overlaps is called the knee joint. It is a hinge joint that allows for flexion and extension of the leg.
What joint do the proximal and distal phalanges meet at?
The proximal and distal phalanges only meet in the first digits (the thumbs and the big tues). This joint is the first interphalangeal joint.
Joints between proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones?
The joints between the proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones are called metacarpophalangeal joints. These joints allow for flexion and extension movements of the fingers. They also contribute to the overall dexterity and fine motor skills of the hand.
