What else can I help you with?
What is the most lateral distal part of the humerus?
Lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
What is the trochlear notch that articulates with the humerus?
The trochlear notch is a depression on the proximal end of the ulna bone that articulates with the trochlea of the humerus. This forms the hinge joint of the elbow, allowing for flexion and extension of the forearm.
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.
Fossa on distal posterior surface of humerus?
The fossa on the distal posterior surface of the humerus is the olecranon fossa. It is located above the trochlea and accommodates the olecranon process of the ulna when the elbow is extended. It helps to increase the range of motion of the elbow joint.
What articulate with the ulna and scapula?
This is called as elbow joint. It is a synovial type of joint. It is actually a joint between humerus and ulna mainly. The radius takes part in the joint passively. This is hinge variety of joint.
Is the humerus distal to the carpals?
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
Is the humerus distal from the thumb?
The humerus is proximal, not distal, to the thumb.
What bones are distal to the radius and ulna and proximal to the metacarpals?
The radius and ulna are proximal to the carpal bones. The carpals are distal to the radius and ulna.
What is located on the distal aspect of the humerus?
The medial and lateral epicondyles are located on the distal apsect of the humerus. The distal humerus articulates with the radius and ulna.
Where transcondylar distal humerus?
The distal humerus is the end of the humerus nearest the elbow. Transcondylar means across the condyles, or the knobs at the end of the humerus.
Which directional term best describe the position of the phalanges with respect to the carpals?
The phalanges are distal to the carpals, meaning they are located further away from the body's midline.
Is The distal end of the humerus at the shoulder?
The distal end of the humerus articulates with the two bones of the forearm, the radius and the ulna. Noteworthy features on its distal and are the lateral and medial epicondyles (one of which is your elbow) as well as the trochlea and capitulum(both of these features forming the "pulley" shape found at the end of the humerus.
What is the most lateral distal part of the humerus?
Lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
What bony landmark of the anterior humerus articulates with the ulna?
To you mean the joint itself? The elbow, AKA the proximal-distal axis of the humerus and ulna, respectively.Or just the distal epiphysis of the humerus (the rounded head of the bone which is farther fromthe arm's point of attachment to the torso)
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.
The anatomic neck of the humerus is distal to the surgical neck of the humerus?
Actually, the anatomic neck of the humerus is proximal to the surgical neck of the humerus. The anatomic neck is the slightly constricted region below the head of the humerus, while the surgical neck is the region of the humerus prone to fractures located distal to the tubercles.
What directional term describes the position of the phalanges with respect to the carpals?
distal
