distal to the wrist, because they are away from the shoulder (origin point)
The wrist is proximal to the fingers. The fingers are distal to the wrist.
The fingers are distal to the wrist. The wrist is proximal to the fingers.
Fingers are superior to the wrist!
It's proximal
yes, when in anatomical position
Yes
The elbow is proximal to the wrist
The wrist is proximal to the fingers and distal to the elbow.
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.
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 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 :)

The wrist is distal to the shoulder. The shoulder is proximal to the wrist.

The fingernails are distal to the wrist. The wrist is proximal to the fingernails.
The elbow is proximal to the wrist. The wrist is distal to the elbow.
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?
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
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.
The metacarpal bones are proximal to the fingers. They are closer than the fingers to the origin of the hand.
