In anatomical position, it is possible to say the thumb is lateral to the wrist. No other structure could be considered lateral to the wrist.
The lungs lie on the superior lateral sides of the diaphragm.
In the lateral side of the forearm, you can find the radius bone, as well as the muscles responsible for wrist extension and thumb movement. The radial artery also runs along the lateral side of the forearm.
The two bones in the human body that extend from the elbow to the wrist are the radius and ulna. The radius is on the thumb side (lateral side) of the forearm, while the ulna is on the pinky side (medial side) of the forearm.
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.)
The point of the radial pulse is located on the patient's 'thumb' side of their wrist. You locate the patient's radial artery (pulse pont) in the patient's wrist using your middle two or three fingers. You count the number of pulses that occur in eiher 30 seconds or 1 minute. NEVER use your thumb to take a pulse. You would then be feeling your OWN pulse.
The buttocks are medial to the wrist. The wrist is lateral to the buttocks.
The fingers are distal to the wrist. The wrist is proximal to the fingers. In anatomical position, it is possible to say the thumb is lateral to the wrist.
No. When the body is in the anatomical position, the thumb is further away from the midline. You say that the thumb is lateral to the ring finger.
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 wrist is distal to the forearm. The wrist is neither medical nor lateral to the forearm.
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. In anatomical position, it is neither medial nor lateral to the wrist.
The lungs lie on the superior lateral sides of the diaphragm.

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 wrist and the leg are on different limbs; therefore, you can't describe their relative position with the terms "proximal" and "distal." The wrist is superior and lateral to the leg.
The medial bump of the wrist is called the pisiform bone. It is a small, pea-shaped bone located on the palmar side of the wrist. It serves as an attachment site for some ligaments and muscles of the hand.
