Periosteum

Medial in terms of phalanges means the middle bone of the second through fourth fingers. The bone at the end is the distal phalanx, and the one closest to the palm is the proximal phalanx.

No. DNA testing can be used for identification purposes or to determine if any genetic diseases (something passed down from the parents like hemophilia blood disease, or even a gene showing a likelihood of developing certain cancers) were present, but not poison.

Numbness is usually the result of pressure on the nerve or in the spine. Hope this helps, Angie Wooton, RN, MSN, FNP

The general collection of 22 bones within the human skull. Frontal, occipital, saggital lobes and fossa.
