The antecubital space is proximal to the carpal region. ( antecubital space being the opposite side of the elbow and the carpal region being the wrist )
The elbow region is anatomically referred to as the "cubital region." It is the area where the humerus, radius, and ulna bones meet, allowing for the movement of the forearm. The term "cubital" is derived from the Latin word "cubitus," meaning elbow. This region is important for various arm movements and activities.
Scaphoid and lunate. Probably part of the triquetrum also. Distal end of ulna does not take any important part in articulation with the wrist bones.
The popliteal fossa region on the posterior side of the knee resembles the anterior cubital fossa region in terms of being a shallow depression with important structures passing through it, such as blood vessels and nerves. Both regions also contain lymph nodes and have significance for clinical procedures.
The clavicle is not distal or proximal to the umbilicus. It is superior and lateral.
distal
The hand is immediately distal to the carpal region. In particular, the metacarpals and phalanges are distal 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.
The Capitate and the Trapezoid
The carpus is not proximal to the brachium. The carpus is actually distal to the brachium. The carpal region is the wrist.
The antecubital space is proximal to the carpal region. ( antecubital space being the opposite side of the elbow and the carpal region being the wrist )
The styloid process of the Ulna (one of the bones of the forearm) is where the Ulna connects to the ligament of the wrist joint. The Triquetrum, Lunate and Pisiform carpal bones all lie distal to this. However the carpal bone most easily palpable is the Pisiform bone.
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
Cubital means relating to the elbow or to the ulna per Stedman's Electronic Medical Dictionary (SEMD), version 7. Thus, the cubital region is the anterior elbow region plus the posterior elbow region. The anterior cubital region includes the cubital fossa (also known as antecubital space per SEMD). For a view of the cubital fossa and the surrounding anterior surface anatomy, see this Web site: http:/anatomy.med.umich.edu/surface/upper_limb/cubital.html
The lower extremity of the radius actually has two bones which it articulates with. The carpal and the ulna.
The smallest carpal bone is the pisiform, located on the palmar side of the wrist. It is a sesamoid bone, meaning it develops within a tendon. It is typically the smallest and pea-shaped among the carpal bones.
The patellar region is DISTAL to the femoral region.
