yes
Metatarsus bones are five long foot bones. They are distal to tarsus bones and proximal to phalanges in your foot. So bones that are proximal to your toes are metatarsus bones.
closer to the origin of the body part or the point of attachment of a limb to a body trunk. For example, The elbow is proximal to the wrist
The toes are distal to the heel because they are farther away from the origin of the lower leg. To determine distal or proximal, trace the line of the limb from where it attaches to the body. A structure you reach first when tracing that line is proximal.
The Great Toe (Big Toe) has Two. The Proximal and Distal Phalanges. The other toes have three. The proximal, Middle, and Distal.
The ankle is closer to the body than the foot so it is proximal.
the knee is proximal to the foot
No, the foot is distal to the thigh. "Proximal" refers to a position closer to the center of the body, while "distal" refers to a position farther away from the center.
Proximal, anything closer to midsection in proximal (closer) than distal (distant).
The knee is proximal to the foot. The knee is also superior to the foot in anatomical position.
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
yes
Distal
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.
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.
Metatarsus bones are five long foot bones. They are distal to tarsus bones and proximal to phalanges in your foot. So bones that are proximal to your toes are metatarsus bones.
These are words indicating whether something is nearer or further to a given point of reference. It is commonly used to pinpoint body parts in relation to the body midline. For example; your foot is distal to your knee. "Distal" means further away, "proximal" means closer in.
