Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
Is the stomach distal to the heart?
The heart is SUPERIOR to the stomach...ABOVE... Distal usually only applies to the appendages, or limbs. The hand is distal to the elbow. The foot is distal to the ankle. Distal might give you partial credit for some answers but when you are dealing with the torso you will want to use SUPERIOR or INFERIOR.
What is the posterior depression on the distal humerus?
The posterior depression on the distal humerus is known as the olecranon fossa. It is a deep, triangular cavity located on the posterior aspect of the humerus, just above the elbow joint. This fossa accommodates the olecranon process of the ulna during elbow extension, allowing for smooth movement and articulation between the humerus and ulna. Its structure is crucial for the proper functioning of the elbow joint.
What anatomical direction is distal?
Distal refers to 'further from the attachment point'. For example, the ankle is distal to the knee.
Where Distal is?
Distal in anatomy means farther away from a point than another point. For example, your fingers are distal to your upper arm. You always have to compare two things.
Is the thoracic cavity is distal to the abdominopelvic cavity?
The thoracic cavity is superior to the abdominopelvic cavity.
What is a double-barrel colostomy?
This colostomy involves the creation of two separate stomas on the abdominal wall. The proximal (nearest) stoma is the functional end that is connected to the upper gastrointestinal tract and will drain stool. The distal stoma
With a double-barrel colostomy the proximal stoma delivers and the distal stoma delivers what?
In a double-barrel colostomy, the proximal stoma delivers stool from the intestine, while the distal stoma, which is typically non-functioning, may still produce mucus or fluid but does not convey fecal matter. This configuration is often used to divert fecal flow while allowing for healing of the distal bowel or for specific medical conditions. The distal stoma can be referred to as a "mucous fistula" since it may only secrete mucous.
What are all the bones that are distal to the glenoid cavity and proximal to the wrist?
The metacarpal bones are the bones distal to the wrist.metacarpalsThe five hand bones between the carpal bones of the wrist and the phalangeal bones of the fingers are the metacarpals.
What is distal salpingectomy?
removal of the outside part (the ovary end) of the fallopian tube
In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
Is the vertebral column distal to the kidneys?
Yes, the vertebral column is distal to the kidneys. The kidneys are located in the abdominal cavity, while the vertebral column runs along the back of the body, closer to the spine.
What is a syrinx of the distal cord?
a syrinx is a pathology that looks like a splitting of the spinal cord. but really its a fluid filled cavity in the spinal cord.
What two organs are in the pelvic cavity?
Yes, there are organs in the pelvic cavity.
What causes a colostomy to be temporary or permanent?
Temporary colostomies are created to divert stool from injured or diseased portions of the large intestine, allowing rest and healing. Permanent colostomies are performed when the distal bowel (bowel at the farthest distance) must be removed
Where is stomach location?
The stomach is located in the abdominal cavity. Located at the distal end of the esophagus, just inferior to the diaphragm.
What is the opposite of distal?
Proximal is the opposite of distal.
