What is the Kikuyu myth that explains the origin of man?
In Kikuyu mythology, the Supreme God, Ngai, created Gikuyu and Mumbi, the first man and woman, and placed them at the foot of Mount Kenya. They had nine daughters, who married the nine sons of the mythical creature called "Mumbi the Enchantress." From these marriages, the Kikuyu people are believed to have descended.
What did Donald Johanson conclude by examining the bones of the hominid called Lucy?
Donald Johanson concluded that Lucy, the 3.2 million-year-old Australopithecus afarensis fossil, walked upright based on the shape of her pelvis and knee joints. This helped establish the theory that bipedalism evolved before the increase in brain size in early hominids.
Is the knee proximal or superior to the foot?
the knee is proximal to the foot
Is the knee proximal to the fingers?
No.
Is it true The knee is distal to the foot?
The knee is proximal to the foot. The knee is also superior to the foot in anatomical position.
What is the proximal direction of the body?
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.
Is the knee proximal or distal to the ankle?
Saying that the knee is "proximal" to the knee means it is closer to the center of the body. The construction of the leg allows us to walk. The knee couldn't be distal to the ankle because the foot would be located above the knee, which wouldn't connect to anything. It's really a matter of understanding the terminology...
Are Proximal and distal opposite directional terms in humans?
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.

Is the toes proximal to ankle?
ANSWER: YesTo quote my textbook, Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology (2nd Edition) by Donald C. Rizzo: "Proximal means nearest the point of attachment or origin. Example: the elbow is proximal to the wrist, the knee is proximal to the ankle. Distal mean away from the point of attachment or origin. Example: the wrist is distal to the elbow, the ankle is distal to the knee."
Describe in directional terms the relationship between the patella and 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.
