What is the medical term meaning toward the origin of attachment to the trunk?
Proximal is the term that means closer to the origin of a limb.
When you put the bed encasements on the bed where do the bedbugs live then?
Encasements are meant to keep bugs already on the mattress in, and new bugs out. Anything that is sealed in the encasement will eventually die, while insects outside of the encasement will find another home. The benefit of the encasements is that it makes it easier to identify where infestations are, and they can help avoid throwing out mattresses.
What is another term for cuticle?

Vygotsky zone of proximal development?
This the distance between what a child can do on his own versus help from another person (an MKO perhaps).
Are eyes and mouth proximal or distal?
No. On the axial body (head, neck, chest and abdominal area), the features are either superior or inferior to each other. In this case the forehead is 'above' the mouth making it superior to the mouth. Proximal and distal refer to how close some thing is to the attachment of a limb. You will compare how close some thing is to that attachment compared to another. For example, your fingers are distal to your elbow. Your elbow is proximal to your fingers.
Is the foot distal to knee?
It is proximal as the knee is closer to the median / midline of the body than the foot. The foot is distal. Distal suggests a structure being further away from the median plane or the root of the limb than another structure in the limb. Proximal refers to a structure being closer to the median plane or root of the limb than another structure in the limb
What is the proximal third of femur?
It is the first third of the length of the bone in the direction going from the hip to the knee. In another way: It's the first third of the bone closest to the trunk of the body.
Are the toes distal to the knee?
It is proximal as the knee is closer to the median / midline of the body than the foot. The foot is distal. Distal suggests a structure being further away from the median plane or the root of the limb than another structure in the limb. Proximal refers to a structure being closer to the median plane or root of the limb than another structure in the limb
Proximal?
DefinitionProximal means nearer to the center (trunk of the body) or to the point of attachment to the body. If another reference point is given, such as the heart, the proximal point of another organ or extremity is the point closest to the heart -- central rather than peripheral.
Is The wrist distal to the forearm?
No, the fingernail is distal to the elbow. Imagine a body standing with arms and legs spread out, like Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. To determine if a part is distal or proximal to another part, look to see if it is closer or farther from the center of the body relative to the body part you are comparing it to. The fingernail is farther from the center of the body than the elbow, so it is distal to the elbow. In contrast the shoulder is closer to the center of the body, so it is proximal to the elbow. Using the same reasoning, the elbow is distal to the shoulder. When you're comfortable with those distinctions, you can start thinking about other terms like ventral, dorsal, caudal, saggital, coronal, etc.
What is the name of each tooth in mouth and where are they located?
