What else can I help you with?
What is the Region of lower limb attachment?
The lower limb attaches at the hip region, where the femur (thigh bone) articulates with the pelvic bone to form the hip joint.
Are the metatarsals distal to the calcaneous?
No, the tarsal bones are proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the tarsal bones.
Are toes proximal to the calf?
The toes are distal to the calf. The toes are farther away from the origin of the lower limb.
Name the strongest bone in the lower limb?
The femur is the longest, strongest, and heaviest bone in the body.
Which type of section separates the kneecap from the lower limb?
The patellar ligament separates the kneecap from the lower limb. It connects the bottom of the kneecap to the tibia bone in the lower limb.
Is the foot located proximal to the leg?
No, the foot is distal to the leg. The foot is the most distal part of the lower extremity, located furthest away from the body, while the leg is the proximal segment of the lower limb.
Is the left great toe proximal to the left knee?
The toes are distal to the knees. They are farther away from the origin of the lower limb.
What is the proximal direction of the body?
Proximal means closer to the origin of the limb, so the knee is proximal to the ankle, and the wrist is proximal to the thumb.
What set of terms refer to the position up or down the limbs?
Proximal is close to the body while distal is further away from the body. The upper and lower limbs are attached at the proximal end and the tips of the digits are distal from the point of attachment.
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.
What is the medical term meaning toward the origin of attachment to the trunk?
Proximal is the term that means closer to the origin of a limb.
What part of the body is the fibula located?
In lower limb, at the lateral side of fibula.
