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.
The elbow is proximal to the wrist.
Or you can say that the wrist is distal to the elbow.
The wrist is distal to the elbow. The elbow is proximal to the wrist.
The forearm is proximal to the wrist. The wrist is distal to the forearm.
Elbow marks the proximal end of forearm.
The elbow is proximal to your fingers.
yes
The wrist is proximal to the fingers and distal to the elbow.
The shoulder is superior to the hand, it cannot be classified as distal or proximal.
The arm, forearm, wrist, hand, and fingers are all distal to the acromial region.
distal to the wrist, because they are away from the shoulder (origin point)
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.
The wrist is proximal to the fingers and distal to the elbow.
The shoulder is superior to the hand, it cannot be classified as distal or proximal.
No. The elbow is distal to the shoulder. Proximal means closer to the body, whereas distal is further away.
No. 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.
The arm, forearm, wrist, hand, and fingers are all distal to the acromial region.
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. The wrist is distal to the elbow.
distal to the wrist, because they are away from the shoulder (origin point)
No . The hand is proximal to the wrist . Proximal = proximity[ closeness] Distal = distant [ farther away ]
It's distal. Meaning the elbow is farther away from the axillary.
The elbow is proximal to the wrist
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.
No. The wrist is DISTAL to the elbow. The radius and the ulna ( your forearm ) are what separates the elbow joint from the carpals, and the metacarpals, which is your wrist.
