The four proximal carpal bones from lateral to medial are the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pisiform. Remember what anatomical position looks like when thinking about the lateral or medial location of the bones of the upper extremity.
Eight. Proximal row contains from lateral to medial side four bones. They are Scaphoid, Lunate, triqurtal and Pisiform. Distal row contains from lateral to medial side four bones. They are Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate and Hammate.( Out of these fracture of Scaphoid is very dangerous if untreated. Leading to avascular necrosis of the distal part and wrist is affected for ever.)
Metatarsus bones are five long foot bones. They are distal to tarsus bones and proximal to phalanges in your foot. So bones that are proximal to your toes are metatarsus bones.
Plural of metatarsal is metatarsus, they are the five long bones of the foot, and metacarpals are that of the hand
It is the lower end of the radius bone taking part in wrist joint. Actually three bones are attached to radius bone. Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquartal. Forth Pisiform is a sesmoid bone. So you require first row of small bones, so that movement should be possible between radius and bones. With single bone attached to radius movement would have been restricted. Next row of four bones is attached in order to have more mobility to the metacarpals in one hand and proximal row of bones in other hand. It is possible to have four bones attached to proximal row to expand the area of movement. Here again with single long bone, movements have been restricted. As you have to support five fingers there should have been five small bones. But 'Nature' found it prudent to attach four bones to proximal three bones and attach five metatarsals to distal carpal bones. Here joint has to be flat and so many carpal bones are there. Here you have flex-ion, extension, adduction, abduction and circumduction. This joint is one of the architectural marvel by 'Nature'.
No, the tarsal bones are proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the tarsal bones.
The proximal row of carpal bones of the wrist, from medial to lateral, in the anatomical position, are: the triquetrum, lunate, and scaphoid.
There are 8 carpal bones on each hand/wrist. These comprise of the scaphoid, hamate, lunate, capitate, triquetrum, trapezoid, trapezium and pisiform. See below for illustration.
Eight. Proximal row contains from lateral to medial side four bones. They are Scaphoid, Lunate, triqurtal and Pisiform. Distal row contains from lateral to medial side four bones. They are Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate and Hammate.( Out of these fracture of Scaphoid is very dangerous if untreated. Leading to avascular necrosis of the distal part and wrist is affected for ever.)
Proximal row (lateral to medial): scaphoid, lunate, triquetral, pisiform bones.
There are eight carpal bones in total, arranged in two rows. Naming the bones form the most lateral to medial, in order, they go Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetral, Pisiform, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, and Hamate. The first row of bones, except for the Pisiform bone articulate with the radius at the wrist joint :)
CARPAL BONES!!!! (aka wrist)In order from lateral to medial in anatomical position :D
A lateral carpal is one of the small bones located in the carpus, or wrist, of the horse. It is also known as the radial carpal bone. The lateral carpal bone articulates with the radius and the third carpal bone (carpometacarpus).
The pollux is distal to the carpal region. The pollux is the thumb, and the carpal region is the region of the wrist.
The kidneys are lateral to the urinary bladder.
the bones that make ankle joint are tibia (shin bone), fibula and talus. the rest of the bones listed below are bones of footTarsals: Talus - is the most proximal tarsal bone. It has a smooth, rounded joint surface that articulates with the tibia. Calcaneus - this is the largest, most posterior tarsal, the one that forms the heel. The Achilles tendon attaches to this bone Navicular - is another boat-shaped bone like the carpal of the same name. It is on the medial surface of the foot, just distal to the talus. Cuboid - is a bone that is roughly cube shaped. It lies lateral to the navicular. Cuneiforms first, second and third - are three small stick-like bones. They articulate with the proximal phalanges of the medial three toes. Their identifying numbers increase from medial to lateral like the metatarsals, but don't get their first, second, third designation mixed up with the I, II, III naming of the metatarsals.Metatarsals: Metatarsals I to V - warning, these bones are numbered differently from the metacarpals. The big toe side (medial) is I and the little toe side is V (lateral). These bones form the anterior part of the arch of the foot.Phalanges: Proximal phalanges - as in the hand, the foot has 14 phalanges. Again, they are individually identified with a Roman numeral (I-V) and the designations proximal, middle or distal. The proximal phalanges articulate with the metatarsals. Middle phalanges - this one is absent from the big toe. Distal phalanges - these small phalanges are found in the tips of the toes.There are seven bones that make up the tarsus.
The bumps at the ankle are the malleoli (singular malleolus). The medial malleolus is formed by the tibia, and the lateral malleolus by the fibula. The medial wrist bump is formed by the styloid process of the ulna, and the lateral wrist bump by the styloid process of the radius.
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
