Proximal means close to. Distal means away from. So it is relevant to what you are talking about. Your thighs are more proximal to your ankle than your head is; but your calfs are more proximal to your ankle than your thighs are.
No. The ankle is distal to the knee, because the ankle is farther from the trunk of the body than the knee.
The ankle is proximal to the toes. It's closer to the origin of the lower limb.
Proximal, anything closer to midsection in proximal (closer) than distal (distant).
The ankle is proximal to the phalanges of the toes. It is closer to the origin of the foot than the toes are.
Toes are distal to ankle
Yes
Distal
The femur is proximal to the tarsals (ankle bones). The femur is the thighbone.
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
In anatomical position, the fingers are lateral to the toes. The toes are closer to the midline of the body in anatomical position.
If I remember from anatomy...the ankle is a synovial joint (movement at the point of contact at bones) that connects the distal ends of the tibia and fibula to the proximal end of the talus bone in the foot.....distal means the most distant of 2 or more things in this case bones and proximal means towards the beginning of 2 or more things.
The toes are distal to the ankle. They are farther away from the origin of the lower leg.
No, the tarsal bones are proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the tarsal bones.
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
Proximal, anything closer to midsection in proximal (closer) than distal (distant).
Proximal means closer to the origin of the limb, so the knee is proximal to the ankle, and the wrist is proximal to the thumb.
The ankle is closer to the body than the foot so it is proximal.
Distal
The ankle is proximal to the toe and the toe is distal to the ankle
The ankle is distal to the knee. The knee is proximal to the ankle. Distal means further from the reference point, proximal means loser to the reference point.
Proximal and Distal
The toes are distal to the calf. The toes are farther away from the origin of the lower limb.
No. The ankle is distal to the knee, because the ankle is farther from the trunk of the body than the knee.
