Why is the cubital region distal to the carpal region?
The cubital region, which refers to the area around the elbow, is actually proximal to the carpal region, which encompasses the wrist. In anatomical terms, "distal" means farther from the point of attachment or the trunk of the body, while "proximal" means closer to it. Therefore, the cubital region is closer to the shoulder than the carpal region, making it proximal, not distal.
Four proximal carpal bones from lateral to medial?
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.
Is the femoral region proximal to the plantar region?
No, the femur is closer to the head than tarsals
In what part of the body is the carpal region?
Wrist
Is clavicle distal to umbilicus?

The carpal region is what to the antecubital region?
distal
Is antebrachium proximal to the carpal region?
The hand is immediately distal to the carpal region. In particular, the metacarpals and phalanges are distal to the carpal region.
What region are associated with the parts of the arm?
brachial, antecubital, carpal
Is the pollux proximal to the carpal region?
The pollux is distal to the carpal region. The pollux is the thumb, and the carpal region is the region of the wrist.

What is the antebrachium to the carpal region?
The antebrachium is the forearm, which extends from the elbow to the wrist. The carpal region refers to the wrist, which includes the eight carpal bones.
What is the medical term meaning anterior surface of the elbow?
The medical term for the anterior surface of the elbow is the "antecubital region."
Four proximal carpal bones from lateral to medial?
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.
Is the carpus proximal to the brachium?
The carpus is not proximal to the brachium. The carpus is actually distal to the brachium. The carpal region is the wrist.
Are blood vessels present in the antecubital region?
median cubical
Where is the antecubital region?
It is the bend in your arm (on the inside, opposite from your elbow).
Is the humerus distal to the carpals?
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
