Yes, proximal means closer to the trunk (torso) while distal is away from the trunk. The statement "the knee is proximal to the foot" means the knee is closer to the torso than the foot. Conversely, the foot is distal to the knee.
The term proximal is used to describe where the appendage joins the body. So in humans this would be the femur and the humerus.
In human anatomy deep is a directional term which indicates when something is closer towards the core of the body/body part. Superficial is the opposite of deep meaning its closer to the surface/skin.
The fingers (and toes) in anatomy are called digits. The visible parts are made up of three bones called phalanges (aside from the thumbs). The Distal Phalanx is the one in the tip of the finger, the Middle Phalanx is the one in the middle of the finger and the Proximal Phalanx is in the base of the finger. There is also another bone in each digit but is hidden the body of the Hand. These are called the Metacarpal bones and are long thin bones. These are not part of the digits.To answer this directly: the number of bones in each finger is three except the thumb which has two. The same with the toes. The large toe has two and the others have three.

40-50 % of filtered urea is reabsorbed through passive diffusion in the Proximal Convoluted Tubules. Loop of Henle, Distal Convoluted Tubules and Cortical Collecting Ducts are impermeable to urea. But secretion of urea happens in descending Loop of Henle (This helps to maintain the osmotic gradient in the medulla of the Kidney). There is also re-absorption of urea in the medullary collecting ducts.

The appendix in humans is a structure that is not used in any way except to cause trouble. It is approximately located at the junction of the distal small intestine and proximal large intestine (aka - ileo-cecal).
The term proximal is used to describe where the appendage joins the body. So in humans this would be the femur and the humerus.
In humans, ventral is synonymous with Anterior.
In human anatomy deep is a directional term which indicates when something is closer towards the core of the body/body part. Superficial is the opposite of deep meaning its closer to the surface/skin.
It would be near the descending colon in the left upper quadrant of humans.
I'll say yes but to be more specific, superior is better. To be proximal is to be close and superior is to be higher up (for this case, higher up in position since humans are described from head to toe)
It is humans
Bidirectional influence in psychology development refers to the idea that individuals are influenced by their environment and, in turn, also influence their environment. This means that a person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can shape and be shaped by the social, cultural, and physical contexts in which they live. This dynamic process helps us understand how individuals both affect and are affected by their surroundings as they grow and develop.

Carpal bones are any of the eight small bones located in the hands and wrists of humans. These bones together form the carpus. The carpal bones main function is allowing the wrist to rotate vertically.
