Is the elbow superior to the wrist?
The elbow is proximal to the wrist
The wrist is what to the fingers in respect of the elbow?
The wrist is proximal to the fingers and distal to the elbow.
Are the fingers lateral to your wrist?
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.
Is the elbow proximal or distal to your fingers?
The hand is distal, because your hand is drawing away from your body. Proximal means closer to the body.Example: The elbow is distal to the chest. The elbow is proximal to the hand. The hand is distal to the chest and the elbow.
Examples of proximal and distal?
the thigh is proximal(closer) to the foot; moving proximally from the wrist brings you close brings you to the elbox. the fingers are distal(farther from the attachment point) to the wrist. hpethat helps good luck :)

Are the fingers lateral to your wrist?
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.

Is the wrist distal or proximal to the shoulder?
The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.

Are fingernails proximal to the wrist?
The fingernails are distal to the wrist. The wrist is proximal to the fingernails.
What is the elbow to the wrist caudal posterior anterior or proximal?
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. The wrist is distal to the elbow.
Is the wrist distal or proximal to the hand?
nope. easy way to remember: proximal=proximity, hence closer to the body, and distal=distance, hence further away from the body. so the wrist is distal to the shoulder, and the shoulder is proximal to the wrist. make sense?
Is the shoulder proximal or distal to the wrist?
Proximal vs. distal, is in reference to the Point of attachment to the axial skeleton. So the shoulder is proximal to the wrist, or the wrist is distal to the shoulder. Distal= further away Proximal= closer
Is the hand 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.
Are metacarpal bones proximal or transverse to the fingers?
The metacarpal bones are proximal to the fingers. They are closer than the fingers to the origin of the hand.
