Where is posterior tibial located?

The posterior tibial artery is located in the lower leg, running along the back of the tibia bone. It branches off from the popliteal artery and travels downwards, posterior to the medial malleolus (the bony prominence on the inner ankle). The artery supplies blood to the posterior compartment of the leg and the plantar surface of the foot. It eventually divides into the medial and lateral plantar arteries.


Are The forearm extensors arise primarily from the medial epicondyle?

No, the forearm extensors primarily arise from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, not the medial epicondyle. The medial epicondyle is the origin for the forearm flexors. The extensors are responsible for extending the wrist and fingers, and their tendons run along the posterior side of the forearm.


Where is the radial median and ulna nerve is found in the?

The radial, median, and ulnar nerves are found in the upper limb. The radial nerve runs along the posterior aspect of the arm and forearm, innervating the extensor muscles. The median nerve travels down the arm, passing through the cubital fossa and into the forearm, where it innervates flexor muscles and provides sensation to parts of the hand. The ulnar nerve runs along the medial side of the arm and forearm, passing behind the medial epicondyle of the humerus before supplying the intrinsic muscles of the hand.


Which body plane creates the directional terms medial and lateral?

The terms medial and lateral are evaluated along the coronal plane. When drawing an imaginary line to evaluate a structure's position in terms of medial and lateral, the line drawn is parallel to the sagittal plane.


Are the ears distal or medial to the shoulders?

The ears are both superior (above) and medial (closer to the mid-line) to the shoulders.LeftTo the left of the body (not your left, the subject's). The stomach is to the left of the liver.RightTo the right of the body or structure being studied. The right kidney is damaged.LateralToward the side; away from the midsagittal plane. The eyes are lateral to the nose.MedialToward the midsagittal plane; away from the side. The eyes are medial to the ears.AnteriorToward the front of the body. The nose is on the anterior of the head.PosteriorToward the back (rear). The heel is posterior to the head.SuperiorToward the top of the body. The shoulders are superior to the hips.InferiorToward the bottom of the body. The stomach is inferior to the heart.DorsalAlong (or toward) the vertebral surface of the body. Her scar is along the dorsal surface.VentralAlong (toward) the belly surface of the body. The navel is on the ventral surface.Caudad (caudal)Toward the tail. The neck is caudad to the skull.CephaladToward the head. The neck is cephalad to the tail.ProximalToward the point of attachment (describes relative position in a limb or other appendage). The ankle joint is proximal to the toenail.DistalAway from the point of attachment. The big toe is distal to the ankle.
